Inline Finishing

Unlock the potential of higher productivity and product differentiation

Home Professional Printing Inline Finishing

Increase your profits, cut production times and differentiate your product – with inline finishing


Providing inline finishing capabilities lets you increase your profit margins on print jobs, whilst at the same time shortening your own production times, reducing labour costs, improving quality control, cutting back on waste and saving energy.

Traditionally viewed as an afterthought and production bottleneck, finishing is now being viewed as a critical stage in production and a way to differentiate products and create added value. It is not unusual for finishing to generate as much as 40% of production costs, and for poor quality control at this stage to destroy a great deal of added value.


With updates in digital production technology, SME printers have woken up to the fact that investing relatively modest sums in finishing equipment can lead to significant productivity improvements and reduce costs. Results from a recent drupe global trend report show that 48% of respondents were planning to invest in finishing equipment, and 40% are investing to drive efficiency improvements.

Inline Finishing

Differentiate your product hugely and create stronger customer loyalty

Inline Finishing means your customers will benefit from already-finished print products, shorter production deadlines for more complex print products and a ‘one-stop shop’ offering everything from a single source.

For smaller printers and in-house print departments, reducing the amount of work that is outsourced gives greater production flexibility and control. (A good example of this are W2P systems, providing a steady but unpredictable flow of digital short run on-demand jobs, which cannot be outsourced and have to be completed in-house.)


Essentially, the more aspects of a print job you can control internally and offer on-demand, the greater your growth will be and the more customer loyalty you will generate.
