The company has bought a new Tauler PrintLam CTIS 105 B1 large-format laminator.

Folio's new PrintLam is a B1 landscape pallet-to-pallet machine, which includes a crane and stacker.

Managing director Andy Bird said: "Our entry into laminating was a natural progression as it complements everything else we do.

"We chose the Tauler because its specification was exactly what we required: not only was it capable of handling B1, it was compact and easy to use."

Folio was formed in 1989 and has been growing rapidly ever since – continually taking over units at its Bristol site as they became available.

The company currently employs 64 full-time staff who work 24/5, plus weekends when demand dictates.

It operates as a specialist print finisher, capable of handling anything from single-figure production up to runs of many millions.
