Finishing and Bindery

Your project is hot off the press but our work is far from done. As the name suggests, this stage is where your pieces get “finished.” The Printshop counts on bindery equipment to turn sheets of printed paper into perfectly folded brochures, bound pamphlets, and eye-catching postcards. Our capabilities include folding, cutting, perforating, stitching, and scoring, as well as foil stamping, embossing, and die cutting.

We’ll share the pros and cons of different binding options, and help you decide which one is the best fit for your job specifications. While we’ve got smart equipment, there are some pieces that simply can’t be finished by machine. In that case, we’ll complete your pieces by hand.

Quality control is also an important part of the finishing stage. We’ll double-check your whole document, making sure it matches up to your proof, and is ready for you to show it off.

Variable Data Printing

One topic that may come up in your consultation with us is variable data printing (VDP), and we know it inside and out, because we’ve been doing it for years. We’ve got full in-house capabilities for multi-variable personalization, and the creative expertise to help you determine the best way to make your target audience take notice.

Personalization means a greater return on investment for you. In an age where consumers are saturated with advertising messages from all channels, messages that resonate on a personal level are the ones that stand out. However you measure success, you’ll see the difference that a personal touch can make.

Mailing Services

Once your documents are printed and bound, we know you’ll want them in your customers’ hands without delay. We also know that you’re busy doing your job, and you may not have time to deal with complicated postal service regulations.

Mailing services are another way that the Printshop/Copy Center has you covered, start to finish. We’ll take your mailing list and perform regular address cleanup, standardization, and duplicate removal pursuant to the latest National Change of Address (NCOA) data. This achieves fewer returned letters, savings on postage, and most importantly, increased response rates for you.

We’ve partnered with a mailing services provider and are pleased to offer inkjet addressing, automated letter inserting, tab sealing, barcoded postage application, and mail merge capabilities. Our highly automated processes mean that mailings reach customers in record time. They are also a Coding Accuracy Support System (CASS)-certified mailing service provider, the most stringent certification in the business. What that means for you is bulk discounts on postage and near-perfect delivery rates.

We also offer e-certified and e-return receipt mailing services through USPS that provide security and fulfill statutory-necessary signature requirements. Just think of how much time and resources you’ll save if staff no longer has to fill out those green cards and file returned receipts!

Once mailed, the print cycle is complete. But that doesn’t mean our work together has to end. When you’re ready for reprints, Impress, our online ordering system makes reordering easy.
