Digital Printer’s Investment Proves to Be a Winner

The Challenges

Editorial RENUEOVO LLC is a multi-million dollar digital printer with 23 full-time employees, producing between 50,000 to 90,000 books per month. They provide bound applications such as Day-Timer’s, notebooks, manuals, and calendars for companies such as Amway and Signature Equipovision, as well as their network of independent business owners. The training and education applications are wire-bound and include lined notebooks with front and back covers and 50 sheets of inside pages; day-timer’s with front and back covers and 350 inside pages; 7/8" wire-bound manuals; and 4x6" wire-bound pocket day-timer’s.

Prior to the Tornado Autopunch EX, the finishing process required a series of manual steps by trained operators. All of the front and back covers were manually punched on electric, Chinese-branded punch machines, then hand-collated into each book. Inside pages were also hand-punched on a desktop punch, separated into books, and bound. These jobs required at least two operators, and took multiple days to turn around.
