The machine will be featured on Unibind's stand at Ipex, where the company will look to push it strongly.

TPW bought the UK's first machine, in a deal which also enables Unibind to have its handbooks produced entirely in the UK.

TPW managing director Rob Pryer said: "Unibind's bespoke work has always been finished in Belgium, while we printed it over here. Having the machine means the Unibind's handbooks can be entirely produced in this country.

"The great thing is we can also target out own customers. There is really no minimum so we can handle anything. A lot of customers, particularly corporate and education, could not guarantee the kind of minimums we needed before."

TPW has recently moved into its own facility in Billingshurst, having previously been based in Horsham. The company, which celebrates its twentieth year in 2010, has 15 staff and a turnover of £1.5m.
