Copy Center: Definition of Services



Copying

We use five high-speed, digital copiers, two of which are high quality color copiers. Some of the features of these copiers include back-to-back copying, collating, stapling, booklet formatting, transparencies, reducing and enlarging, etc. Walk up service is available for short runs. For long runs we have a 24-hour service, however for special projects please allow more time.

Color Copying

We produce high quality color copies on both a Bizhub Pro C500 and a Minolta laser printer. All color copies are printed on 70# Cougar White at no additional charge, unless other paper is specified. This can often be a walk up service, however please allow extra time for large runs.

Binding

  • Spiral - We use a GBC punch and bind system with plastic combs. We are able to bind up to a 2 inch (appx. 450 sheets) book.
  • Glue Binding (Coverbind) - This service is offered upon request and supplies must be ordered.

Paper Cutting

We have a commercial size paper cutter. We can cut up to 500 sheets of paper at one time. We are able to cut up to an 11 x 17 sheet of paper.

Punching

We use a drill punch with a wide range of options, such as size of holes, spacing of holes and number of holes to be punched. We can also drill soft back books, reams of paper, reports, etc.

Tabbing

The tabbing method is usually used for closure of brochures and flyers sent through the U.S. Postal service. Stapling is no longer allowed. We can tab up to an 11 x 17 sheet of paper. Only one tab is needed if your mailing opens at the top, however if it opens at the bottom, it requires two tabs.

Stapling

Our copy machines have a stapling feature that can be used on 30 sheets of paper or less. We have a heavy-duty stapler that can staple up to 60 sheets of regular weight paper. We also have a saddle stapler and bookletmaker for booklets.

Collating

We offer machine and hand collating. There is no quantity limit on collating.

Padding

Padding is a glue type process where we are able to cut paper into a specified size and pad it together to make notepads. We also use this process for carbonless forms. This is not a walk-up service since it takes several hours for the glue to bond to the paper.

Folding

We offer several types of folding. The largest size paper we are abe to fold is 11 x 17. These are the most common folds that we use.

  • Z Fold (Accordian) - This fold is generally used for letters and mailbox stuffers. This is considered a standard fold.
  • Regular Fold (Letter) - This fold is generally used for brochures and mailers. There is a one-time set-up fee of $5.00 for this fold.
  • Half Fold - This fold can be used for table tents, booklets, etc. There is a one-time set-up fee of $5.00 for this fold.

The time required to complete folding is appx. 30 minutes per 1000 pieces based on a standard set-up.

Lamination

We are able to laminate up to a size of 11 x 17 inches. Walk up service is available depending upon the number of pieces needed to laminate.
