Bindery - Finishing

IPI Editor Bob Neubauer talks with Standard Finishing's Johan Laurant about how Hunkeler Innovationdays has changed over the years, its current focus on using smart automation to save on labor costs, and how this automation comes into play on the new roll-to-cut to Stichliner Mark V solution on display at the event.

IPI Editor Bob Neubauer stopped by the Duplo booth at Hunkeler Innovationdays to talk with Duplo International CEO Bruno Picquet about the advantages of Duplo's new DC-20000 B2 cutter, which was shown cutting sheets of 64 business cards in one pass. 

Hunkeler Innovationdays is different than U.S. trade shows like PRINTING United Expo. In this video, IPI Editor Bob Neubauer offers a lighthearted look at what it was like, how it was different, and what he saw during his three days in Lucerne, Switzerland.

IPI Editor Bob Neubauer talked with Daniel Erni, the new CEO of Hunkeler, about Innovationdays 2023, the importance of automation, and Hunkeler's impressive growth over the past few years.

The Plockmatic Group will use next week’s Hunkeler Innovationdays to launch the new SC6000, a larger format version of its digital diecutting system. The unit will be released for sale by both Morgana Systems and Intec Printing Solutions at the show.

Contiweb will be attending Hunkeler Innovationdays from Feb. 27 – March 2, in Lucerne, Switzerland.

For cutting and binding low-volume jobs, in-plants turn to a variety of compact solutions. We asked several of them about their favorite machines.

Here are some of the latest diecutting, saddle stitching, and double-loop wire binding products for the in-plant market.

It’s happened more often than Dylan Turner would have liked: after outsourcing a large diecutting project for customers at Northern Arizona University, they would come back to him a month later asking for a few dozen more. He needed an in-house solution.

When Juniata College Print Services' 10-year-old laminator broke down and replacement parts were unavailable, the in-plant needed a reliable solution.
