Mid-State Litho is an authorized path for Hunkeler continuous-feed finishing (Standard Hunkeler) in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Hunkeler Generation 8 systems convert digital roll output into stack, booklet, fold, perfect-bound, and related web formats for high-volume digital print, direct mail, and book production. We sell, specify, install, train, and support Hunkeler equipment across Michigan and the Great Lakes.
This brand page indexes the live Hunkeler Gen8 and related continuous-feed solutions we list. Related hubs: continuous feed solutions, digital presses and inkjet printers, and finishing such as perfect binders when the bind path is separate from the web line.
Sizing a Hunkeler line is a web width, application (roll-to-stack, booklet, fold, book block, perfect bind), and press interface conversation. These are configured systems, not shelf SKUs. We will map the modules to your digital press and volume, quote trade-in or line reconfiguration when an older web path still has life, and support install and training. Availability and lead times vary by module. Financing and leasing is available through Mitsubishi HC Capital and LEAF Commercial Capital. Call 1-800-343-4231.

How to choose a Hunkeler continuous-feed line
Four decisions settle most quotes.
Exit format. Roll-to-roll, cut-stack, booklet, fold, fan-fold, or perfect bind. Start from the finished product, not the module name.
Press interface. Match web width, tension, and digital press output to the Hunkeler infeed.
Book vs mail. Book-block and plowfold paths differ from direct-mail booklet and fold stacks. Be clear on application.
Duty and service. Continuous-feed is a production commitment. Plan training, spare cutters, and inspection early.
