Tipping

Yes, we do high speed bindery glue tipping! The tipping project I show in this video is a fold and tear die cut mailer that has a card tipped on the inside. To open the mailer, the end user simply bends and tears each of the end pieces off. A card with a coupon code is tipped inside.

Tipping

A bindery tipping job can be simple or very creative when paired with other finishing processes like folding, die cutting or even perfect binding. Our machines are capable of tipping up to 3 cards in one pass; tipping on opposite sides of the paper; or even tipping on different panels at the same time as the video indicated!

We’re a Smart Bindery that Finds Creative Solutions

Tipping Inside Pocket

This tip-on book cover featured this week is no ordinary job. It looks like a simple folder, but ultimately becomes the cover of a saddle stitched booklet. The client needed a pharmaceutical information sheet (folded on lightweight stock) to be tipped to the inside cover of a saddle stitched book. Not only did we figure out how to tip-on a lightweight folded brochure to the 2-up covers of a saddle stitched booklet, we did it without multiple machine passes!

Tipping - Specialty Graphic Finishers

The slow way would be to saddle stitch the booklets and then reopen the cover to tip-on the folded pharmaceutical insert. We found a better solution. If there’s a smarter, faster way to do a job, leave it to us!

Tipping Inside Pocket

These covers start as 2-up 3 panel folders. As the third panel of the cover is “backfolded,” a lightweight medical brochure is simultaneously inserted and attached with fugitive glue. This ensures that the tip-on stays in place during the subsequent saddle stitching stage and eliminates the need for multiple machine passes.

The end user simply pulls the inserted piece out of the “pocket” formed between the 2nd and 3rd panels.

Glueless Tipping

/in /by

This product is unusual.  I am not sure what to call it.  To call it “glueless tipping”, would be a contradiction of meaning, because “tipping” by definitions has glue in it!  Whatever it should be called, it is an unusual product.  This process is almost impossible to produce because machines that do tipping requires gluing a card or something similar to a “carrier”.  At high speeds, if the card is not glued, it will fly in all directions!  In this situation, the card which is “shot” out of a high speed “feeder”, hits an air blast that adequately registers the card before the carrier enters the double plough fold folding station.

The benefit of this type of job is that upon opening the piece, the card falls into the hand of the customer.  No peeling the card off…no sticky glue…more environmentally friendly etc.…
