Details & specifications
The MBM SF2 is a wire-stitch bookletmaker that jogs, stitches and folds finished booklets in one pass for print shops, corporate print rooms and education. Mid-State Litho carries it as an authorized MBM dealer. We deliver, install, train your operators and service the machine across Michigan and the Great Lakes.
Where the SF2 Fits
The SF2 is a medium to high-volume wire-fed bookletmaker, running up to 2,300 sets per hour with capacity to 25 sheets or 100 pages and paper sizes from 4.75 by 8.5 inches up to 12.68 by 18.25 inches. Its wire-fed stitching reduces consumable cost versus pre-formed staple systems. If you are choosing a bookletmaker, weigh daily volume, set capacity and sheet size; lower-volume shops may prefer a tabletop sibling.
