Workflow schematic for Perfect Box Solutions
Perfect Bindery Solutions has taken on Italian manufacturer IML Machinery’s equipment for short run and on demand box making, which it will sell under the Perfect Box Solutions brand.
Boxes are a growing market sector, especially for luxury packaging of confectionary, perfume and premium spirits and for products such as photobooks, property prospectuses and art books.
‘Over recent years we have seen a constant drive by printers to find products and services that will win them work in the more valuable market sectors, so we’ve seen a rise in perfect binding, casebinding, embossing, laminating, foiling and so on,’ said Perfect Bindery Systems owner Steve Giddins. ‘The high quality presentation box is the latest, and perhaps the most impressive, value-add in that sequence and our ‘Perfect Box Solutions’ range brings what used to be a labour-intensive craft process within the sphere of enterprising commercial printers to fill their workflow upstream and boost their bottom line.’
The machines, which are also suitable for casemaking for hard cover books can produce up to 10 boxes per minute. Box sizes produced range from 60 x 60 x 10 mm (suitable for jewellery) up to 430 x 350 x 120 mm in size.
PBS will show the Perfect Box Solutions for the first time at The Print Show, where it is exhibiting on stand E19.
