Yes, you can have it both ways: high performance print finishing capabilities and cost efficiency. Such is the case for Dallas Offset Inc., a 70-employee print shop in Dallas, Texas. Dallas Offset installed a rebuilt Muller Martini 335 saddle stitcher with 6 pockets plus cover feeder. “This will dramatically increase our production, by as much as 50% on our tabloid products requiring stitching and trimming which is a growing segment of our business mix. It will also allow us to handle a wider variety of products more efficiently,” states Steven Kubalik, CEO of Dallas Offset.
“We chose the 335 due to its reliability and versatility,” continues Mr. Kubalik. “This equipment will allow us to more efficiently produce a wider variety of products enabling us to expand our client base and continue to expand our business.” Dallas Offset Inc. produces directories, publications, catalogs, newspapers, advertising inserts and several other kinds of products. The
company’s customers include retailers, city governments, colleges, telephone directory companies and healthcare businesses.
