Mailmate Print has completed a company-wide equipment upgrade by investing in a Horizon SPF-200L bookletmaker and a VAC-1000 tower collator from IFS.
The addition of the new Sakurai LED UV litho press prompted a broad review that included enhancing the bindery with the bookletmaker.
Founded in 1991, the Jersey operation was the first printer in the Channel Islands to invest in LED UV to complement its existing litho and digital capabilities. In recent years the commercial business has also expanded its service offering with banners, vehicle graphics and clothing.
‘We have broadened our offering but at the same time stayed true to our core business,’ explained managing director Neil Faudemer. ‘That strategy is paying off as we have remained competitive with other UK operations. To support our high quality commercial print production we wanted a more substantive bookletmaker. We liked the Horizon as it is very robust. It also manages long and short run litho and digital print. We consider it to be the market leader in this area. It has fitted in perfectly.’
