ANDOVER, MA – Standard Finishing Systems, a leading supplier of post-press and paper handling solutions, has announced that they will be showcasing their Horizon and Hunkeler finishing equipment at PRINTING United 2025, the annual event hosted by the PRINTING United Alliance.

Standard’s 5,000 square foot exhibit space at PRINTING United will host over 20 individual post-press finishing solutions from partners Horizon International and Hunkeler with a focus on advanced automation in perfect binding and trimming, saddlestitching and bookletmaking, folding, die cutting slitting and creasing, and roll-fed finishing. Standard will feature their newest solutions, like Horizon’s BQ-300 Perfect Binder and SPF-2000 Bookletmaker, alongside popular solutions such as Horizon’s BQ-500 Perfect Binder, HT-300 Three-side Trimmer, HT-1000V Three-knife Trimmer, StitchLiner Mark IV Saddlestitcher, RD-N4055 Die Cutting System, AFV-566FKT Folder, CRF-362 Creaser/Folder, SmartSlitter, and more. The BQ-500 Perfect Binder, capable of producing up to 800 books per hour even during variable production, will be equipped with case binding accessories at the show to demonstrate how easily print service providers can switch between perfect binding and case binding preparation. Standard will also feature the roll-fed Hunkeler/Horizon Roll-to-Saddlestitch combination solution featuring the Hunkeler UW8 Unwinder and CS8 Cutter inline with Horizon’s StitchLiner Mark V Saddlestitcher. The Roll-to-Saddlestitch solution will include Horizon’s HSF-50 High-Speed Sheet Feeder which seamlessly switches from cut-sheet feeding up to 45,000 sheets per hour to bypass mode for roll-fed production. Finally, several Horizon solutions at the show will be connected to iCE LiNK, Horizon’s cloud-based bindery control system that gives print service providers more insight into the efficiency and productivity of their binderies.

Each finishing solution on display will be production-ready with live demonstrations for PRINTING United attendees throughout the duration of the event. Standard will also be partnering with printer OEMs on a series of pre-printed roll-fed and cut-sheet applications that will be running live during the show so that attendees can see how Hunkeler and Horizon finishing pair with digital print solutions and to highlight finishing’s role in the print production workflow.

“We’ve built a reputation at PRINTING United for the variety of equipment we display and the quality of the live equipment demonstrations in our booth, and we look forward to building on that reputation this year in Orlando,” says Paul Steinke, Director of Sales at Standard. “Once again, Standard will showcase the very latest in automated finishing solutions from our partners at Horizon and Hunkeler to help attendees find the equipment they need to make their businesses more efficient, productive, and competitive.”

Standard Finishing Systems will be located in Booth #3930 at PRINTING United, which will be held October 22nd-24th at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.
