FINISHING
Each offset printing press is associated with an articulated finishing and packaging system that, in a completely automatic way, allows the printed products to be handled in many different ways: from the simple standard bundles formation to the creation of complex products consisting of a main product containing up to three inserts, or personalized copies for subscribers – produced by CSQ every night in tens of thousands of copies – or even “hybrid” products made pairing and stitching products coming from the offset presses and covers printed on coated paper in the digital printer.
