Inline Production Workflows

As budgets and turnaround times continue to shrink, you need every advantage you can get to make sure your products are produced efficiently. Whether your project is a self-mailer with an attached product insert or a saddle-stitched wall calender, let Rickard Bindery help you take advantage of efficient inline production.

The Inline Production Workflow
An inline production workflow is achieved by aligning equipment to automatically transfer the job from one machine to the next. This merging of production steps, which can include anything from folding and gluing to wafer sealing and attaching, eliminates the time and effort required to unload and reload the same project multiple times.

Depending on the processes involved, that can result in a significant reduction in both turnaround time and spoilage. Each machine setup requires makeready spoilage, which is greatly reduced if the project runs inline.

Plenty of Inline Production Options
At Rickard Bindery, we can combine several production processes to create an inline workflow optimized for a wide range of products. If your project is a saddle-stitched self-mailer, for example, we can perform not only the stitching and gluing inline, but ancillary processes such as attaching, wafer sealing and refolding as well.

Planning Tip - Products must be carefully engineered to take advantage of inline production. Let Rickard Bindery help you design and plan your projects prior to printing.
