BindRite’s 21st Annual Conference Highlights
Green Button Technology

Newest Member Brings Total to 48

The BindRite Dealers Association held its 21st Annual Conference and Trade Show, April 28-30, 2012, at the JW Marriott Resort in Palm Desert CA. Forty-four of 48 member companies attended the meeting for the purpose of evaluating product demonstrations from thirty-four key vendor exhibitors.

The conference theme focused on the emergence of “Green Button” technology incorporated into equipment recently introduced to the print finishing industry. The Green Button touch screen operator interface was demonstrated in automated laminators from DryLam; a fully automated cutting/creasing/scoring/perfing unit from MBM; a simple but effective table top creaser from Count Machinery, a tape binding system from Powis Parker and a two sheet, two envelope folder/inserter from Formax. According to BindRite executive director Al Boese, more Green Button finishing equipment will be rolled out at Drupa and Graph Expo later this year.

The keynote speaker was Hewlett Packard’s Scott Swanson, who presented a view of the Future of Printing and Print Finishing. That presentation was followed by a panel discussion including the keynote speaker and three key vendor representatives from MBM, Powis Parker and PVC Spiral Supply.
