Booklet Maker
An advanced finishing device that automatically folds and staples printed sheets into booklet format with saddle-stitch binding.
Detailed Explanation
Booklet makers transform printed sheets into professional booklets by folding pages along the center and stapling through the spine (saddle-stitching). This eliminates manual folding and binding, enabling in-house production of catalogs, programs, manuals, and newsletters. The booklet-making process: (1) Print pages in proper imposition order, (2) Collate pages in correct sequence, (3) Fold sheets along center, (4) Staple through fold (saddle-stitch), (5) Output finished booklet. Capacity typically handles 15-25 sheets (60-100 pages per booklet). Advanced booklet makers include: tri-fold capability, square-fold technology (flattens spine), creasing for thick paper, trimming for professional edge finish. Applications: event programs, product catalogs, training manuals, church bulletins, conference materials, restaurant menus. When evaluating booklet makers: maximum page count, fold quality, staple reliability, paper weight range (60-120 GSM), and integration with design software. Cost ranges from $2,000-$10,000. ROI for organizations producing 50+ booklets monthly.
