Tipping Extra Pages

The feature of this week’s email is tipping an extra page into saddle stitched books or folded mailers that cannot be stitched. You might be asking, “Is this a necessary service?” The quick answer is, “yes!” and I’ll explain why. Saddle stitched books need signatures in multiples of 4 (8pg, 12pg, 16pg, etc.). A client, for various reasons, might have a 10pg or 14pg booklet they want saddle stitched and a fold-out isn’t an option or is too expensive. Or a client has a mailer that needs to be in a booklet style but can’t have added stitches. What do you do? Give us a call!

*Disclaimer: We did not produce this specific piece, which was a web press run of 5.8 million. We are a great option for your client, if they have a mailer like this and the run is too small (under 50,000) for a web press.*

The folded mailer I’m showing has four processes, which can all be done in-line. First, we tip on a single sheet (in this case, pages 3 & 4); fold and glue a pocket; apply a strip of remoistenable glue; and then apply glue to the spine and make the final fold.

Does your client have an extra 2 pages that will complicate a saddle stitching job? Do they need an extra page tipped onto a folded  mailer? Give us a call and we can inline tip the extra page inside!
