According to managing director Philip Sudwell, the folding machine, which comes just months after the company achieved ISO 14001, is being used to handle the company's short-run work, predominantly mailing and digital.

Park Lane's new purchase complements an existing MBO B123 folder, which handles the company's long-run work.

The new buckle folding machine also includes an A56 mobile stream delivery.

Sudwell said: "The new folder is ideal for the quick turnaround jobs of upwards of a few hundred copies. A great benefit of having the two MBO machines is that the cross-fold unit can be used on both."

Formed in 1991, Wiltshire-based Park Lane Press moved to its current 1115sqm premises in Corsham in 1999. The company employs 20 full-time staff.

Although the company claims to be able to handle "anything and everything", short-run section work and longer-run mailers account for most of Park Lane's business.
