FORMERLINE

Digital reel-to-book-block finishing solution for book production

FORMERLINE is a digital finishing solution developed for book production in a real-to-book-block environment. Designed to directly transform a printed strip into book blocks ready for assembly, it guarantees flexibility, automation, and high-quality finishing.

After printing, the web is guided through the variable FormerLine and cross-cutting units. It is then transferred to the RIMA Collator system for stacking, gluing, and pressing of signatures to form complete book blocks.
