This wedding invitation printed on heavy linen paper, was produced on the Canon ProSream 1800 and the Bograma BSR550 Diecutter with inline folder-gluer. The MBO nearline finishing system finishes this folded product, including the unique and engaging diecut contour, in a single step. Watch the video showing the print and the finishing.

Darwill, Inc. is a national, integrated marketing company that offers proven direct marketing solutions for companies of all sizes. Founded in 1951, it’s a family-run business with a commitment to deliver the highest quality solutions that drive ROI for its customers. Several years ago, Darwill decided to transform from its roots as a sheet-fed commercial offset printer to using white paper continuous feed inkjet production.

Navistar Direct Marketing installed two MBO Rollfed High Speed Finishing Lines to compliment their two Screen Trupress 520 Inkjet presses, streamlining their direct mail production. The results were dramatic. The new process answered Navistar’s need for speed with fewer touches and just two steps. The reduction of labor, smaller footprint, and higher productivity all support their business model for the future.

MBO has recently put together a very valuable machine package that can be used for extremely quick automated folding and stacking at a very attractive price. The package contains the fastest folding machine in the world, the K8RS, which operates at 275 m/min (902 fpm), the A80 stacker delivery and the CoBo-Stack, a cageless stacking robot. This package is only available for a limited time and should be taken advantage of.

It’s all about making your marketing stand out in a crowded mail stream or a busy point of purchase. Using the diecutter to add curiosity and functionality to direct mail or packaging can increase conversions significantly. As an example, MBO America shows how the well-known iron cross card holder can be produced efficiently using their Bograma BSR550 Rotary Diecutter. With its B2 sheet size, fast makeready and high production rate, it fits any market segment.

Efficiency and labor costs are always a top priority in the print finishing industry. In this short video demonstration Paul Kuchta, a 40+ year veteran in the finishing industry, describes the features and benefits that can maximize productivity and greatly reduce labor using MBO's flagship buckle folder, the T800.1, and the Cobo-Stack automatic palletizer.

Automating a process involves removing steps and manual touches. This short video studies the production of a diecut direct mail piece in a single step, previously done in three. The single step process not only reduces handling and number of people, but the turnaround time shortened by a factor of three, making high conversion direct mail products like this, perfect for today’s demanding customers.

The MBO CoBo-Stack is a completely automatic collaborative robot which stacks folded signatures in nearly any pattern, on a pallet. The cobot reduces the physical demands of the operator and eliminates stacker help labor. It can even make it possible to have 1 operator running 2 machines in a true manufacturing cell.
