June 2009: Under One Roof, Part 2: Die Cutting, Stitching, Folding and Gluing (and Mailing!)

Last month, we detailed how a bindery with in-house mailing services can be your competitive advantage to winning direct mail work. That prompted us to take another look on our floor for more service consolidation ideas. And we found a good one.

Binding and finishing services that offer the best bang per buck are very attractive in this economy. Saddle stitching and die cutting both qualify. Applications that call for both - such as self-mailing booklets and some digital media packaging formats - also require related services such as folding and gluing.

In this competitive environment, jobs are often won or lost to razor-thin differences. Rapid Bind can help tip the scales to your advantage by consolidating all of these services under one roof. Here are a few differences we can stack in your favor:

• Expert project oversight - Consolidating work also consolidates responsibility. From flat sheet to finished product, your job is in our careful hands.
• Tighter schedules - Removing even one day from a customer's turnaround schedule can help win a job.
• Optimal material usage - By controlling every production process, Rapid Bind can optimize quantities to reduce spoilage and related costs.
• Eliminate transport costs - Consolidating services removes unnecessary transport costs and lengthier schedules.

Don't Forget our Mailing Services!
If your projects are destined for the postal stream, Rapid Bind's inkjet imaging capabilities can save you even more time and money. By handling essential services such as barcode application and data cleansing, Rapid Bind can insert your direct mail applications into the mailstream as quickly as possible.
