Park Communications Invested A Great Deal In Finishing
The London based company Park Communication has almost invested £200,000 for in house lay-flat binding and die-cutting.
The company contains 130 staff members and is growing rapidly. It has purchased a Kisun Digi Binder DB-440 and a Heidelberg SBD Zenith and they are installed in the company premises.

Alison Branch, the managing director of Park Communication explained that besides outsourcing these operations, they have brought in their own machine to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost. The firm said that they have rigorously tested these machines before bringing these in house.
Branch said: “A lot of our customers are in the property and fashion markets, and particularly in property they love to use double-page spreads because this really maximises the impact of the imagery.
“So property developers, builders and design agencies love lay-flat binding and we were finding there was an increased customer requirement and it’s much easier for us to keep the process in-house; it’s faster, more cost-effective, we reduce carbon emission and it’s just much easier to control the process.”
The lay-flat binder provides strength to binding as the binder sandwiches the two sheets and performs its tasks perfectly.
“The Zenith was brought in as we were finding volumes building up, so we said, ‘Right, this is the chance to internalise’,” added Branch.
“The BBC rang me and said there was good news on unemployment figures and they wanted to present those against the backdrop of a busy, efficient manufacturing facility,” said Branch.
“Their research team had identified companies that might be appropriate and through that they had identified Park.”
It is a good notion to have further investment in bringing up-to-dated machines in-house. It saves time and considerable cost for the company.

The managing director of Lithgo, Mike Atkinson, said: “We also have a Heidelberg ST300 but with both systems we can now choose quite late in the day which one to use. As the StitchLiner is quick and easy to set up it is perfect for short runs but its quality and robustness means it can also handle longer runs too.
“We liked the StitchLiner because it takes sheets that were planned in a such a way that they could be traditionally folded. That means we can plan work with traditionally folded sections. We looked at other solutions but they didn’t do that.”

“It’s a designer’s dream to be able to create this many original artworks and to push digital printing as far as we have with HP Mosaic,” Sarah Douglas, Wallpaper creative director further explains: “Working on this project with HP Indigo has been incredibly exciting and has inspired us to totally re-think our attitude and approach to print technology and the printing process.”
While speaking about HP, Brook said “Speaking about the HP technology, Brook adds: “What really impressed us was the quality of the print with HP Indigo. It is remarkable how even flat colours are, particularly light tints, and how smooth vignettes are without feeling mechanical.”
HP also marked this special event as the 25th anniversary of their first inkjet printer. HP also arranges a contest ‘My HP DesignJet and Me’ for its customers and there were considerable prizes associated to this contest.
