Details & specifications
Mid-State Litho is an authorized James Burn International dealer serving Michigan and the Great Lakes since 1984. The WOB5000 is a semi-automatic Wire-O binding system built for production wire binding in commercial binderies and in-plant print-finishing departments. It closes wire consistently at volume, where a manual closer slows you down. As a high-capacity 110V system priced at $54,557, it sits at the production end of the wire-binding line, and it fits into a full James Burn punch-to-bind workflow we also stock: the DocuPunch Plus, EasyPunch, and CoverPunch for the punching step, the EB5000 wire closer, and the WOB5000 reception conveyor for stacking. Our factory-trained technicians deliver it, install it, train your operators, and keep it running, so you are not waiting on an out-of-state service call when a deadline is on the line.

James Burn International Wire Binding, Sold and Serviced by Mid-State Litho
As an authorized James Burn dealer, we carry the wire-binding and punching line: the WOB3000 and WOB5000 binders, the EB5000 wire closer, the DocuPunch Plus, EasyPunch, and CoverPunch punches, and the AlphaDoc mk4.

Building a Wire-O Binding Line: Punch, Bind, Close, Stack
A production wire-binding line is a sequence of steps, and we stock the machines for each one. Punch with the DocuPunch Plus ($39,950), EasyPunch ($24,705), or CoverPunch ($27,410). Bind with the WOB3000 for lighter or intermittent volume, or the WOB5000 for production runs. Close with the EB5000 wire closer. Stack with the WOB5000 reception conveyor. The main decision for most shops is WOB3000 versus WOB5000, and it comes down to your run volume.
