Boxer wins Fabric Warehouse business
The UK's leading soft furnishing retailer, Fabric Warehouse, has appointed design consultancy Boxer as its retained design agency.
Its Commander control system allows on-the-fly adjustments of individual machine settings while the machine is running, thus shortening make readies and changeover times.
It can be configured for a wide variety of binding methods, including Swissbind, Swiss Brochure, Otabind, RepKower, Burst and English Brochure.
The additional in-house binding will help streamline Pureprint's overall production and improve cost-effectiveness while at the same time reducing the carbon footprint of the finishing process as a result of lower transport costs and energy usage.
"We will also have greater control on speed and quality of finishing which coupled with the flexibility that the new binding line offers, will set us ahead of our competitors," said Ian Godden, Production Director.
"The Acoro A5 provides us with a really precise application of glue and allows us to use both PUR and Hotmelt gluing processes, to suit a wide variety of brochure and catalogue work.
"We looked at two other suppliers, however, we were already familiar with the quality of the Muller equipment and we have a good relationship with the company, so it made sense to stick with them".
Installation of the new binder will start around mid-March with the aim for the system to be fully up and running by mid-April.
Mark Handford, Chief Executive of Pureprint Group commented: "The investment in the Muller perfect binder is just the start of a larger strategic investment programme which will further establish our group as the leading supplier of sustainable solutions in the industry.".
