  • Thermography

  • Foil and/or Emboss
    Hot Foil Stamping, Blind EmbossingFoil Press
    For your customers that need the elegant and/or flashy look of foil. Our standard foil colors are all metallic (by popular demand). Most any foil is available by request. Our in-house production services will allow you to have your foil job completed without transferring from vendor to vendor for services such as foil/embossing, printing, thermography, scoring, die-cutting, perforating, folding, cutting... Just think of the possibilities!
  • Foil Fusion
    By popular demand, many of our customers have asked us for a process by which we can do short run foil jobs without the expensive die cost. Now we can. Although it is limited to smooth or coated stocks. We print your job on the digital black printer, then run it through the foil press and the foil adheres to the print (toner). Variable information no longer costs an arm and a leg, if you have several people wanting their names foiled on their business cards, don't worry, there are no dies!

BINDERY/FINISHING OPERATIONS:

  • UV Coating
    Finish your color job with a beautiful clear coating. We have coating available in three different finishes: matte, satin and gloss. This coating is often used on post cards, menus, business cards, flyers, brochures and posters. It protects the printed piece from the elements and it makes the colors look more lustrous and vibrant. Our printed job with coating is usually less expensive than printing on high gloss stock, and it looks even better because the coating is now over the ink.
        Gloss - for a high gloss shiny finish
        Satin - to add a very subtle sheen
        Matte - to completely remove any gloss or shine
  • Scoring
    Although we can roll-score, we have always done impact-scoring for best results. This score provides easier folding and less cracking. Use our quality scoring capabilities for your next brochure, booklet, folder announcement, or fold-over card.
  • Perforating
    Your special perforating jobs can be done using a large perf. or micro-perfed.  You can get perforating on text weight (letterhead) and on cover weight stocks.
  • Saddle stitching
    Or Stapling
    Finish your booklets or information sets with either a saddle stitch or flat stapling.
  • FoldingFolder
    Accurate folding on a digital folder
    Quick and accurate setups using the latest technology of digital folders allow us to be efficient and save you money on your next folding job.  We highly recommend that most heavy text and all cover be impact scored before folding for good results.
  • Drilling
    Finish your tags or your booklet pages with drilling the holes of the size and position necessary according to your specifications.
  • CutterCutting
    Digital Cutter

  • Slitting
    To preserve the quality finish, some businessSlitter cards cannot be clamped or cut in stacks.  These cards are slit one sheet at a time with virtually no pressure on the sheet.  This procedure does not have to be specified when ordering, we will determine and use the best procedure to insure good quality for your job.
  • Padding
    Standard or carbonless
    We can finish your note pads or form sets with padding.  We will do your standard padding with chipboard (notepads), and we can glue your carbonless sets with fan-a-part glue.
  • Comb Binding
    When your book is just too big for fold and stitch, or if you just need a different look, try binding it with plastic combs.
  • Corner Rounding
    Business Cards, Booklets, ...
    For those of your customers who need to have the functionality or just a different look, we can finish your job by rounding the corners.
