The
Fala Group, a full-service direct marketing company, opened its doors in
1916 as the Fifth Avenue Lettershop and later changed the name to Fifth
Avenue Lithographic Associates. Since then, Fala’s success has been
built on pioneering breakthrough technologies and believing in
"superior work and a superior working relationship". The Fala
Group of Melville, NY consists of Fala Direct Marketing, Inc., Fala
Graphics, Inc., Fala Sorting Services, Inc. and Fala International
Mailing Services, Inc.
As
one of the nation’s leaders in on-demand processing, Fala processes
over 50 million feet of paper per month at its state-of-the-art laser
personalization facility. They have added GBR Systems Corporation’s
Mathias Bäuerle GmbH Multimaster CAS folder to optimize their on-demand
processing.
The
demand for short set-up times and quick job turnaround has become
critical in bindery solutions. The CAS folder’s computer-controlled
technology meets this demand. It has automatic fold plate set-up and
stores in memory 60 custom and seven standard fold types. With the CAS
folder, there is a large display panel, the operator scrolls through
icons to select the fold units for the fold type, enters the fold panel
lengths, and hits the set-up button. The fold plates automatically move
into position according to the computer data entered. From parallel, to
cross fold, pharmaceutical, and other intricate fold types – all can
be recalled instantly by push button with absolute precision.
"With
the CAS folder, set-up time is 75% quicker than other folders."
states Phil Castellano, manager of mechanical operations. He emphasizes
that they can change folds up to 12 times per shift. "You don’t
need to shut down the entire operation to change a fold so there is 95%
less downtime than other folders." Another major advantage of the
CAS folder, according to Joe Sylvestri, manager of laser
personalization, is their ability to handle forms more readily for their
customers. "We can handle many different types of applications and
folds from booklets to gatefolds to barrel folds to slit and nest
folds," said Sylvestri. He explains that their confidence in the
CAS folder’s quality of folds allows them to take on any unique
project.
