When Michael Wu assessed the production workflow at On Demand after taking over the digital print business late last year, he immediately identified a gap that needed to be addressed – the company’s wire binding capacity.
“On Demand had a great team of experienced people, good print production capacity and plenty of punching equipment to meet requirements – but there was simply not enough wire binding capacity to meet our Photobook and contract binding workload,” Wu explains.
A quick call to Gary Disney at Rilecart Binding Supplies saw an almost instant solution, with a Rilecart WireBinder 360 installed and in full operation within 24 hours, allowing On Demand’s bindery to meet urgent pre-Christmas demand. So successful was this first installation that within a week, Wu had ordered a second WireBinder 360 machine, this time for his other business, Miracle Bookbinding.
“I needed machines which not only had the capacity to handle a full range of wire sizes but would allow me to handle small jobs without long set-up times,” he explains. “The WireBinder 360, with no tooling changes, can be set up in less than five minutes and, once binding commences, it requires little or no readjusting or setting. It’s great.”
Gary Disney from Rilecart Binding Supplies, a major supplier of punching and binding machines and consumables for double loopbinding wire and plastic coil binding applications, says Michael Wu’s experience is typical, with the WireBinder range making a huge impact in the double loop binding industry.
“The WireBinder is known for its simple set-up and operation, its speed of turnaround and its reliability – plus, as Michael’s experience shows, our ability to supply the machines ex-stock gives customers the added bonus of super-fast installation, so you can be enjoying the benefits almost immediately,” says Disney.
These features are sure to attract plenty of interest at PrintEx15, where Rilecart will be demonstrating the WireBinder 360’s ‘big brother’, the WireBinder 450, which offers all the benefits of the 360 model but with increased capacity and the ability to produce calendars.
“We’re looking forward to demonstrating the WireBinder 450 alongside a range of other technologies, to demonstrate to print service providers just how the right binding solution from Rilecart can improve efficiency, increase productivity and, of course, optimise profitability.”
Rilecart Binding Supplies will be exhibiting on Stand 1405 at PrintEx15 at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, between May 13 – 15 this year. To register for PrintEx15, go to www.printex.net.au
