Finishing Makes the Difference

That never could have happened if Weingard had relied on outsourcing his finishing services. “With their investment in the right finishing automation, printers can enhance the value of their services by providing their clients with a one-stop shop,” states Duplo’s Nguyen. “This all equates to quicker job delivery times and higher customer retention.”

“There is money to be made in the bindery,” David Spiel concludes. “Too many printers send out their work when they can do it themselves for far less. I often speak to quick printers who could pay for a machine with the money they spend sending out their work in a year or two. Does that make sense? Furthermore, you can bring in outside work to bind and bring in more revenue.”
