Details & specifications
James Burn CoverPunch Automatic Cover Punch
The James Burn CoverPunch is an automatic punch built for covers and heavier stocks in production binding. In James Burn's punching line it sits between the lighter-duty Easypunch and the higher-volume Docupunch Plus and AlphaDoc mk4. Shops choose the CoverPunch as a dedicated automatic cover punch and heavy-stock paper punch - the production binding punch step that prepares covers before Wire-O binding. Mid-State Litho sells and supports the CoverPunch as an authorized James Burn International dealer, with delivery, installation, and operator training included. Contact us for current pricing, lead time, and a punch-pattern review for your binding workflow.
What the CoverPunch does
The CoverPunch automates punching for covers and heavier stocks ahead of mechanical binding. It is the cover and heavy-stock punching step in a production workflow - wire-bound books, manuals, calendars, and presentations - feeding punched covers downstream to a Wire-O binder. It is purpose-built for the heavier sheets that a general-purpose punch struggles with. For punch patterns, sheet capacity, and throughput, see the on-page specification block or contact us; we do not publish numbers we cannot verify.
