TapeFix is a new way to secure insert collections, which it claims will make the production of advertising freesheets simpler and cheaper.

The system replaces the wrapper, holding the collections together. It can also be used as an inexpensive alternative for inserting supplements as part of the newspaper production process.

Another show development will be the expansion of the Polypacer polybagging machine, which now processes bundles in the DIN A4 to A5 range of formats.

Ferag will also be showing MiniSert, a modular inserting line that enables smaller newspaper manufacturers to slowly and cost-effectively automate the inserting process.
