The final phase, but by no means the least important, is that of finishing. This allows the product to take shape through a precise series of processes. Cutting, folding, stitching, die-cutting, gluing, numbering, plasticizing, packaging and delivery are all carried out using sophisticated equipment, directly on the premises (a possibility that has become quite rare in the printing industry). Working without the use of external suppliers means considerable savings, both in terms of time and additional costs.
