By 2028 the number of readers in the print advertising market is expected to hit 1.3 billion. Print provides a sensory experience that digital creations can’t replicate, and this shows in its continued popularity. With a market so huge, and the potential for so many eyes to be on your products, what is the best way for booklet makers and other PSPs to set themselves on a path to prepare for future growth?
Being flexible is key to being able to grow. We at Duplo don’t want a lack of flexibility in our offerings to be the reason you can’t get access to the tools you need right now, and still be able to plan for future scaling. That is why we offer such a wide range of modular solutions.
Why opt for a modular solution?
What do we mean when we say we offer modular solutions? If something is modular, it means it’s made up of individual modules that can work both independently and in different combinations with each other. You’ll find modular systems across a wide range of products and concepts, such as furniture, computers, or synthesisers.
The modularity of Duplo finishing solutions are a huge benefit to our customers and partners. Here are some of the reasons why a modular solution can help your business:
- It’s cost effective. If you aren’t able to invest in the most comprehensive system straight away, you can opt for whatever machine is at the best price point for you, in the knowledge that it can be added to as and when you can afford to.
- It’s scalable. Whether you find yourself in a position to grow your business, or circumstances mean that you have to consolidate, modules can be added or taken away to suit your circumstances.
- It’s
If you’re looking to build your business in stages, then modular solutions are the bricks with which you can build.
Why work smarter and not harder?
To work smarter is to “tend to what matters most” and to not allow smaller, less important tasks take up your valuable time and energy. For many businesses, across many industries, this often involves boosting the levels of automation in a process or removing steps entirely to streamline your workflow. In printing terms this could mean taking a process in-house instead of outsourcing, replacing a dated machine that needs to be hand-fed, or investing in a machine that can carry out multiple tasks at once with minimal input from users. For example, our Slitter Cutter Creaser range can provide you with a slitter, cutter and creaser tool not just in one machine, but all in one pass.
Working smarter means less risk of burnout for you and your employees, more control over your processes from start to finish, and the same high-quality results at a lower cost. So, with this in mind, let's take a look at some of the finishing solutions you might want to consider.
