Orchard Press has added its second Stahlfolder KH 82 from Heidelberg in six months to bolster its folding productivity and prevent bottlenecks.
Now the company can take printed work direct from press to the folder and know that the finishing operations will proceed quickly and turnaround times will be fast.
The company runs a HP Indigo 5500 and produces academic and technical books, catalogues, leaflets and promotional materials.
‘It’s good to compare machines but the latest generation Stahlfolders are much more automated and productive and Heidelberg’s service is very convincing across all machines. It is very responsive, reliably same day not two or three days which it can be with some suppliers,’ said Adrian Williams, co-owner.
Having the mix of combination and buckle machines means jobs can be directed to the best technology in each case and it offers the flexibility and breadth of folding options the company requires to effectively service its customers.
