Pelican are the fastest printer in manchester

Date Added: 12:17 PM, 27 July 2010

Pelican Press are truly the fastest printers in Manchester. When asked by a large Accountancy group to produce a marketing pack for them in just 5 hours we were up to the challenge.

The project involved two perfect bound books, one 60 pages the other 56 pages, both with a matt laminated cover, a die cut folder and a 20 page saddle stitched booklet, the quantities were small (less than 20) but the quality had to be the best.

Artwork was recieved at 12 noon and proofs were uploaded to the client within the hour, the folder was litho printed, laminated and die cut from an existing forme. The covers for the perfect bound books were printed first on an Indigo 5500, this was followed by their text pages, all collated in page order. The saddle stitched job was printed last.

Finishing was completed on Horizon binding equipment and delivery was via our van to central Manchester, the complete job being delivered at 4:40pm.

Chief Executive Ian Crow comments

"Although this isnt typical of all the work we produce at Pelican we are increasingly being asked to produce more and more work within 24 hours. We cannot offer this service without our people and equipment.

Our people are used to handling such demanding lead times from Customer Services through production to the final delivery, they accept it as part of the service we now offer. Our investment in the latest Indigo press allows litho quality work to be produced extremely quickly and our wide range of finishing kit allows us to delivery jobs right and on time"

Pelican now has a dedicated night shift on their Indigo press meaning most short run orders are turned around in 48 hours.

Wiro Binding Installation for Manchester Printing Company

Date Added: 18:00 PM, 19 May 2010

Pelican Press has invested again; purchasing an automated wiro (or wire-o) binding line to complement our perfect binding line. The £30,000 investment is part of an on-going plan to bring more services in-house. Chief Executive Ian Crow comments:

" Wiro binding has been a process that has always taken a long time. We have always worked with excellent suppliers, but their business has always been feast or famine. In the lead up to Xmas it is almost impossible to get a wiro job placed due to calendar production and similarly during the late summer when school diaries and notebooks are often produced.

By bringing the process in-house we can control the job and give our customers faster turnarounds on this sort of work. The set up on the binder is in minutes, allowing us to swap between jobs very quickly. We are producing lots of short run report and brochures on our Indigo digital press and being able to wiro bind them so quickly is great for the customer. It is a great cost effective alternative to perfect binding, especially on small quantities.

We can also do much longer runs having recently completed 21000 A5 Directories in a week. The investment in wiro binding brings total investment in new services in the last 12 months to over £350,000, including the installation last July of our Indigo 5500."

We can wiro bind from A6 to A3 with books up to 25mm thick and offer a wide range of coloured wires and alternative binds such as half canadian. We can also cut half moons and add calendar hangers too.

The only Manchester Printer with Perfect Binding In-house

Date Added: 08:47 AM, 14 May 2010

At Pelican Press we claim to have a lot of "first and only" services in Manchester (such as our Indigo 5500 digital press) but ten years ago we were the first printing company in Manchester to install perfect binding and ten years later we are still the only Manchester Printer to offer this service.

In fact we are the only printer in the North West to offer the service and over the years our team of perfect binding experts have produced job after job of high quality perfect bound work.

Our perfect binding line is working as well as it did on the first day we used it. It is ideal for run lengths up to 20,000. We have 18 feeders; meaning we can bind 144 pages plus a cover in one pass and we can produce 12-15,000 books a day.

The system applies two types of glue to the book. A spine glue is applied to the spine(!), this glue is super strong and we give a guarantee that your book will not fall apart; the glue is applied evenly giving a great looking finish to your book. A side glue is applied to the cover so that the cover sticks to the first and last text page and allow a hinge to form to open the book.

The perfect binding process is fraught with technical problems, not just in the binding. Thought needs to go into the layout of the job in pre-press and how the job is printed, especially what type of inks and coatings are suitable.

That is why we do not take on any trade work. All the work we perfect bind is printed on our Heidelberg 10-colour and 5-colour printing presses. We can control the quality from start to finish meaning you get a fantastic product at the end.

Manchester Printer offers more Services

Date Added: 14:09 PM, 06 May 2010

Pelican Press, a leading Manchester Printer, is expanding its range of services to give customers a complete one stop experience.

Chief Executive Ian Crow comments

"The Manchester Print scene has been decimated with over 10 of our competitors ceasing trading in the last 18 months. In talking to our customers they are all saying they need a Manchester based Printing company who has a wide range of services and is stable. We hope to demonstrate with our recent investment in Wire-o (wiro) binding and Indigo digital printing that we are here for the long term and offering a great range of services to our  customers.

Pelican Press has always had a repuatation for offering a lot more than the basic service a lot of Manchester Printers usually give. We were pioneers in offering perfect binding and laminating in-house along with our modern long perfector presses and 24 hour service. Now there isn't much we cannot produce in house, meaning customers get great prices and great service".

Pelican Press has invested in a Renz Wire-o (or wiro) binding line capable of producing 5000 books per day and is the only commerical printer in the North of England with an Indigo 5500 digital press producing leaflet, flyers, business cards and brochures to fantastic litho quality.
