Trade Design Inc. Expands Perfect Binding Capabilities with Investment in the Wohlenberg City 5000
Trade Design Inc., a leading trade bindery serving commercial and web printers, is pleased to announce a significant expansion of its perfect binding services with the addition of a Wohlenberg City 5000 perfect binder equipped with a 16-pocket gathering system.
This strategic investment strengthens Trade Design’s ability to meet growing customer demand for high-quality, high-volume perfect-bound books while maintaining consistency, durability, and turnaround times printers require in today’s competitive marketplace.
The Wohlenberg City 5000 is recognized throughout the printing and binding industry for its precision engineering, production efficiency, and exceptional binding quality. With its 16-pocket configuration, Trade Design can accommodate more complex book builds, longer runs, and tighter schedules—making it an ideal solution for publishers, catalog producers, and commercial printers alike.
“Our customers rely on us to be an extension of their production floor,” said Ryan Deal, Vice-President of Trade Design Inc. “By investing in the Wohlenberg City 5000, we’re expanding capacity while ensuring the highest level of quality and reliability for perfect-bound books. This allows us to support both short- and long-run projects with greater flexibility and speed.”
The expanded perfect binding services complement Trade Design’s existing mechanical binding offerings of Twin Loop Wire-O and Plasticoil, reinforcing the company’s role as a full-service trade bindery partner. The new equipment enhances Trade Design’s ability to offer PUR and EVA adhesives to ensure customer perfect binding requirements are met. The expanded perfect binder will be able to handle a wide range of book formats, paper
stocks, and trim sizes while delivering a clean, professional finishing that meets the demands of modern print production.
Trade Design Inc. continues to invest in advanced equipment and skilled craftsmanship to support its mission of helping printers succeed through dependable finishing solutions.
