Perfect binders and book trimmers for production print

Print & Finishing Solutions supplies perfect binders and book trimmers for short-run digital work, variable book production, and high-volume commercial binding. Start the equipment selection with run length, book-block thickness, coated or toner-based stocks, adhesive type, and the handoff to trimming. PUR works well with difficult stocks and produces a flexible spine, while EVA cures faster for same-shift trimming. Automated calipering, barcode setup, cover scoring, and inline three-side trimming cut changeover labor. PFS also provides installation, operator training, parts, and field service across the Western U.S.
