Hatfield-based FP has spent the last three years targeting higher quality, value-added products – particularly the bespoke market.

During this time, it has upgraded its foil printing, embossing and die cutting facilities with the new StitchLiner being introduced to replace a standard stitch/fold/trim line.

The StitchLiner features fully automated makereadies and works from flat four-page sections.

It runs at speeds of 5,500bph, has an icon-based LCD touchscreen and job memory storage for quick job changeover. 

Managing director of the £1.25m-turnover company Andrew Lancaster said: "We have a lot of runs between 1,000 and 2,000 and it is important to change these jobs over very quickly and the touchscreen makes that so easy."

Seventeen-staff Falkland, which was formed in 1976, produces a wide variety of work including business stationery, short-run magazines and promotional print.
