The five-day 10th All in Print China came to a successful close on October 16.

Throughout the exhibition, the BindEx Machinery booth welcomed customers and industry partners from China and around the world. Some stopped to observe the machines in operation, while others examined sample books and discussed production processes in detail. Many visitors also came with specific production requirements, working alongside our engineers to review machine configurations and solutions.

Although the five days have come to an end, every face-to-face conversation has given us a deeper understanding of our customers' actual needs and the growing demand for flexibility and efficiency in digital print finishing.

Part 01 | One Exhibition, A Closer Look at Real Production Needs

At this year's All in Print China, BindEx Machinery showcased a range of print finishing solutions for digital softcover, hardcover and saddle stitching under the theme "Boundless Bookmaking · Infinite Finishing Possibilities."

Four new products made their global debut and attracted considerable attention at the booth:

STARDOCK – Fully Servo-Driven Digital Case-in Machine

KNIGHT – Digital Saddle Stitching Line

PIONEER – Digital Glue Application and Perfect Binding Integrated Machine

EDM 60e Pro – Three-Knife Trimmer

In the era of digital printing, orders are becoming increasingly fragmented, and Book of One production is becoming increasingly common. Customers are looking beyond machine speed to focus on flexible production capabilities:

• How quickly can machine settings be adjusted when changing book sizes or case specifications for hardcover production?
• How can quick changeovers be achieved when continuously trimming books of different sizes?
• How can manual intervention be reduced when handling short-run, multi-variety saddle stitching orders?

These were among the recurring topics discussed at the booth.

STARDOCK focuses on quick job changeovers and precise case positioning in hardcover production. KNIGHT is designed for digital saddle stitching applications, accommodating the needs of multi-variety production. PIONEER integrates glue application and perfect binding processes, providing a new solution for preparing book blocks for both softcover and hardcover production. EDM 60e Pro focuses on flexible trimming, meeting the demands of Book of One production.

As the machines continued running, discussions became increasingly in-depth. Many conversations took place right beside the machines and sample books, extending from the production details of an individual book to the planning of entire print runs.

Part 02 | From Exhibition Hall to Factory: A Closer Look at Our Manufacturing and Complete-Line Capabilities

During the exhibition, BindEx Machinery also hosted an International Open Day at its Pinghu manufacturing facility, inviting customers to visit the factory and gain firsthand insights into our product range, manufacturing processes and machining capabilities.

A live production demonstration featured the TENSOR Book Block Making Line, GALAXY 5500e Digital Perfect Binder and EDM 60e Three-Knife Trimmer in an integrated production setup. From roll processing and book block preparation to perfect binding and final trimming, the demonstration presented the complete roll-to-finished-book production process.

Through both booth discussions and factory visits, customers gained a better understanding not only of individual machine performance but also of BindEx Machinery's overall capabilities in equipment manufacturing, process integration and complete production line applications.

Part 03 | Behind Every Machine Is a Printer's Production Plan

The questions raised at our booth were closely connected to real production needs:

• "How does the setup process work when changing to different book sizes?"
• "What is the actual production capacity when handling mixed jobs with multiple specifications every day?"
• "Can labor input be effectively reduced in hardcover production?"
• "My orders involve small batches and a wide variety of titles. Is this solution suitable for my production needs?"

All these questions point to the same industry shift: printing companies are demanding greater flexibility from their print finishing operations.

For customers, a machine is never just a piece of equipment. It directly affects delivery schedules and labor costs, while also determining a company's ability to handle different types of orders.

That is why we place great importance on understanding each customer's actual production environment. Rather than simply listing machine functions, we focus on identifying their needs and discussing suitable equipment and process solutions.

During the exhibition, the BindEx Machinery team had in-depth discussions with customers from China and overseas, gaining further insights into the practical requirements of different markets.

Part 04 | From On-Site Discussions to Real Business Partnerships

During this year's All in Print China, BindEx Machinery achieved orders and business cooperation opportunities in both domestic and international markets.

Behind every partnership was a process of getting to know the equipment, discussing production processes, confirming requirements and moving toward cooperation.

Some customers first visited our booth to learn about our products and returned later for more detailed discussions. Others came with clearly defined production objectives and spent time reviewing process details with our engineers beside the machines. Some initially inquired about individual machines before exploring complete print finishing solutions.

These in-depth conversations translated into tangible results throughout the exhibition.

Our customers' recognition of our equipment and solutions is an important motivation for us to continue improving our products and services.

Although the exhibition has ended, our cooperation continues. BindEx Machinery will maintain close communication with customers, follow up on their requirements and provide ongoing support.

Part 05 | 50 Years of Experience, Still Committed to Making Every Book Better

2026 marks the 50th anniversary of BindEx Machinery.

Fifty years represent the accumulated experience of a manufacturing company, built through continuous adaptation to market changes and ongoing improvement.

From traditional bookbinding equipment to today's perfect binding, hardcover, saddle stitching and trimming solutions for the digital printing era, technologies and production methods have evolved. What remains unchanged is our commitment to equipment quality and manufacturing craftsmanship.

This year's All in Print China has given us new insights into emerging market demands and opportunities for cooperation. It has also reinforced our belief that the future of book production calls for more flexible equipment, more efficient processes and manufacturers who truly understand their customers' production needs.

The exhibition may be over, but innovation and cooperation continue.

We sincerely thank everyone who visited the BindEx Machinery booth and our manufacturing facility, as well as all our customers and partners. We would also like to thank every member of the BindEx team whose hard work made this exhibition possible.

Fifty years mark the journey we have taken. Now, we move forward to the next chapter.
