"The wire binding for us has really taken off in the past couple years," reports the in-plant manager at a Midwestern energy company.* But with only tabletop punches and wire closers available, the in-plant was struggling to keep up with the work. "We'd bring in temp help" to assist the full-time operators, he says. But even so, wire binding jobs were taking long hours to complete. Clearly, something needed to be done. While at PRINT 13, the manager saw a demo of the Sterling Digipunch and Rilecart WB-450 double loop wire binder at the Spiel Associates booth and was impressed. So last spring the 11-employee in-plant installed both pieces of equipment and began punching and binding training manuals, calendars, trade show brochures and more. Average runs are between 1,000 and 2,000, though some jobs have included as many as 6,000 pieces.
