Machines for the production of hardcover books

Hardcover making for one-offs with changing formats and small runs with machines from Schmedt

More and more books are being printed digitally. Fast, individual and in very small print runs. They are books on demand such as photo books or specialist publications in small editions or as individual books. A version as a high-quality hardcover is increasingly demanded.

With a run of one book or a small series, machines are therefore necessary that have no or only short makeready times for format changes. In this way, these short runs or single books can be produced economically, but still with high quality.

We have been dealing with machines that meet these requirements for more than 50 years. We thus offer the right solutions for the production of books from run 1 up to 300 units/h and in formats up to DIN A3 portrait or landscape. All machines are optimally matched in terms of performance and operability, but can also be combined according to individual requirements. "No matter which of our solutions you work with, you always get publishing-quality products," says Markus Menzel. Our machines are also characterised by a very good price-performance ratio, ease of operation and simple maintenance.

For us, the quality seal "Made in Germany" is still very important and that is exactly what our machines and our service reflect.

In addition to the production of books, our machines can also be used for the production of cardboard covers for books, slipcases, folders, game boards, calendars and folders.

So if you are looking for machines for hardcover production in order to optimise processes and increase efficiency, you will find a competent partner in us.

Of course we also have the appropriate equipment for finishing books - such as the PräziBand and PräziRibbon for attaching headband and bookmarks to the book block, the PräGnant and PräziMark for manual and semi-automatic personalisation with embossing, or the PräziEdge for printing the edge of the book.
