Maping Co has been developing and manufacturing Fastbind perfect binding systems for over 20 years. Models of Fastbind perfect binding machines have different levels of automation and available options. All the models share the main Fastbind concept: adhesive application from above between fanned sheets. Books with the size up to A3 format and thickness from 2 to 500 sheets are bound in a few seconds without any special materials or adjustments for different book thickness.

Flexible runs

Fastbind perfect binding means: no adjustment needed for different binding thickness

Digital printing machines make personalised books (each book different) as easily as long runs of similar books. Digital printing means that no stock of printing is needed - the stock is in the digital archives. Only the required number of books just in time means frequent but short runs. Fastbind machines are originally designed for that need. They are "Switch on and Bind" -machines - no adjustments are needed for different jobs.
