Competition in the graphic arts industry has never been more fierce and profit margins are always under attack, thus new profit opportunities opened by Fastbind are essential for the forward looking business.

Pressure for shorter and shorter run lengths mean offset printers face strong competition from the flexibility of copy shops & publishers face problems finding a local printer with economical, short-run binding equipment. The traditional lines between publishers, printing houses and copyshops are getting more and more blurred and short run capacity is becoming more important in all areas of the industry.

Most existing Fastbind users in this industry already have alternative long run equipment but purchase Fastbind for their short run requirements. After a short time they often find themselves using Fastbind on longer and longer runs due to it's ease of use and the quality and durability of the binding process.
