The need to replace a good, but ageing ‘workhorse’ cutter has led to the installation of a Baumann-Wohlenberg 115 high speed cutter at Accrington-based Point Control Print Finishing by Friedheim International.
Point Control Print Finishing specialises in offering a range of PUR and perfect binding services, either working with customers who are new to the process, or existing customers who occasionally require help in finding innovative binding solutions.
Print runs can be anything from one copy to an ‘ideal’ of around 2000 copies, although the company will handle larger jobs (up to 20,000 copies). The majority or work is from small to medium sized printers located in the Lancashire region. ‘The reason we like to handle smaller, quicker turnaround jobs is that we find that they are slightly more profitable than tackling larger production runs, and better suit our on-site equipment that includes, besides our two Wohlenberg cutters, three MBO folding machines and a Muller Martini perfect binding line,’ said managing director Richard Berwick.
The new Baumann-Wohlenberg programmable high-speed cutter will continue to process the sheets required for folding, and book covers for the binder. In addition, it will also be cutting items such as Scratch Cards and magazine inserts that Point Control Print Finishing also handles.
