COYNE ANNOUNCES MAJOR SERVICE EXPANSION WITH ADDITION OF NEW TURNED-EDGE BINDING SYSTEM

Coyne now provides seamless, comprehensive turned-edge finishing for binders, book covers and other paper-over-board projects.

Coyne Graphic Finishing has announced the addition of turned-edge binding - a service available from very few sources throughout North America.

Turned-edge binding is used primarily in the production of single-piece binders, joint multi-flap or milled folders and book covers. It is an extensive operation that involves a number of separate finishing processes. These may include any combination of precision spotting and gluing of the cover material to the board, creasing of the cover material and the board substrate and turning in of the edges, as well as roller pressing and output functions.

“We're already known as the most comprehensive finishing service provider in the Midwest,” said Kevin Coyne, president of Coyne Graphic Finishing. “With the addition of turned-edge binding, we can now offer another end-to-end finishing service, and do it all under one roof. Doing it all ourselves means that, in many cases, we can complete turned-edge binding more efficiently in terms of time and cost, all the while providing the client with the convenience and control of single-source accountability.”

The new system is one of the most advanced of its kind. Built by CMC in Italy, it features one-pass automatic corner folding, hot- and cold-glue compatibility and programmable, high-power precision creasing.

Flexibility is another key to the turned-edge capability Coyne now offers. “The new system gives us a number of production options for turned-edge projects,” according to Phil Schlaegel, general manager for Coyne Graphic Finishing. “First of all, it is designed for short-run production and quick changeovers. Set-up is relatively simple for such a precise piece of equipment.

“The flexibility of this equipment is amazing. It accommodates all types of creases, including multi-crease spines. It can crease as many as 100 positions per board, and stores up to 100 creasing programs,” Schlaegel added.

Headquartered in Mount Vernon, Ohio, Coyne Graphic Finishing specializes in a wide variety of finishing services, including large format die cutting, mounting, binding, folding, gluing, laminating, collating, CNC routing, an advanced affixing/tipping system and more. A privately held corporation, Coyne prides itself in its readiness to take on practically any finishing project, from the most basic to the most challenging, and in consistently providing on-target, on-spec services that enhance the end product's communication value and effectiveness.
