What is the Plockmatic? 

The Plockmatic is the cutting-edge machine that gave us a huge leap forward in booklet making solutions. It allows for our booklets to be creased, trimmed, stapled, and square-folded with incredible speed. We’re proud to introduce this new production process to anyone looking for saddle stitched books.

To Square Fold, or not to Square Fold

A square fold is a great way to make your booklet look as professional as a hard cover book. The plockmatic can produce standard single fold saddle stitched books with ease, but one of the best features is the addition of the square fold. Essentially, the Plockmatic will crease the book in two positions, trim and fold the booklet on one fast process. The addition of the square fold means the addition of a printable spine which is ideal for creating booklets that resemble perfect bound publications. These innovations are particularly impressive when you see one of the booklets yourself! 

Other Key Features and Benefits

Whether you’re producing corporate reports, promotional materials, or educational resources – these features are available to you! Utilizing these new features is a sure way to showcase your business or organization with your best foot forward.
