Greetings card printer opts for PitStop creaser

Christian Publishing & Outreach has boosted turnarounds for its greetings card creasing work after investing in a PitStop digital creaser from Encore Machinery.

The Worthing, West Sussex-based print operation produces more than 2m leaflets, posters and Christmas cards for religious organisations over its busiest periods, but had experienced a bottleneck in the finishing department.

Christian Publishing & Outreach digital manager Mark Langham told printweek.com that the creaser "has proved at least 50% faster than our previous machine".

He added that that the kit had been "reliable and accurate, especially over the busy Christmas period".

"It provides an accurate crease, which maximises the performance of the MB folder and produces a quality finish," said Langham.

The 50-staff firm also runs a Xerox iGen3, a DocuColor 6060, a DocuColor 130 and two wide-format HP Designjets, a 5500 and an 8000.
