Make Sure Your Documents Are Bound Perfectly!


Are you responsible for your company's annual reports? Product brochures? Catalogs? Are you sure that they aren't losing pages?

Since opening 36 years ago, Wilson Printing has printed and bound thousands of annual reports, books, brochures, and catalogs. We recently purchased a new, hot glue, perfect binder - the Bourg BB3002. There is a great reason why we decided to purchase the Bourg BB 3002 - it provides superior binding.

What makes the Bourg BB3002 a superior binding machine and why should you use it?

  • 3 cylinder gluing process provides superior binding. Binders with fewer gluing processes can result in loose pages.
  • Automated side glue rollers that adjust to every book, providing a cleaner and stronger bind.
  • Channel scoring which is far superior to older processes that rely on rotary scoring disks which have a tendency to skew, crack, or delaminate covers and can mis-align spine printing.
  • Low bundle follower insures that book block is perfectly gathered resulting in more consistent page lineup.
  • Cover nipping station with 4 quality assurance controls to achieve highest quality possible.
  • Soft reception conveyor design prevents damage to spine of finished books.
So next time you're looking for the best printing and binding service, give Wilson Printing a call!
