Book Block Solution

Starbook Sheetfolder

Rethinking book production

The Starbook Sheetfolder is our answer to the growing demands of modern book production from a single sheet. The innovative solution processes individual signatures to 4-page signatures, which are precisely glued and shaped into high-quality book blocks – perfectly tailored to automated finishing in perfect binders. Thanks to intelligent automation, the system adapts flexibly to different book formats and page volumes – ideal for small runs and even single copies. The new multicut function also enables the processing of 4-up, 6-up, and 8-up printed signatures, opening up totally new design possibilities. Whether inline with a printing system or perfect binder or nearline with infeed from the pallet feeder: The Starbook Sheetfolder takes efficiency, quality, and flexibility to a new level.

Fewer errors and downtime

The automation of the Starbook book solution optimizes production, resulting in fewer errors and downtime. This in turn results in less paper waste during ongoing production.

With the Hunkeler Starbook book solution, books can be produced close to the end customer, which protects the environment through short transport routes. In addition, there is much less waste.
