Custom Printing

Mercersburg Printing offers a full range of in-house printing services on state-of-the-art offset and digital presses as well as wide and large format printers to ensure 100% customer satisfaction.

We operate a highly advanced Heidelberg printing press with automatic plate loading and registration technology (Prinect Inpress Control). This press is one of only a few of this type in the country, and it allows us to achieve high-quality process printing for our clients.

Our digital printing capabilities are constantly being upgraded which allows for quick turnaround on smaller quantity items.

We can print on a variety of stocks to meet your needs. We also offer many specialty printing techniques including Soft Touch™ aqueous and UV coatings as well as multi-level embossing/debossing.

Our in-house capabilities include a wide format printer that allows us to produce larger items such as signs and banners. We are capable of printing and specialty-cutting/routing your designs on a wide variety of materials.

Finishing

After printing, your project enters our Finishing Department. In-house finishing options include diecutting, foil stamping, folding, scoring, lamination, binding, collating, and cutting and trimming.

Bookbinding

Mercersburg Printing offers a full range of binding options including Perfect Binding, Saddle Stitching, Spiral Binding, Comb Binding and Loose-Leaf Binding. Glue types available for Perfect Binding include EVA and the newer PUR. While EVA is still an excellent binding material, PUR has become our preferred binding agent for perfect-bound materials. EVA is a hot-melt material that does not adhere to pages as completely as does PUR. Even after the material is first applied and cured, EVA can become brittle or pliable in extreme temperature conditions. In contrast, the PUR molecular structure, coupled with the application process, allows it to be driven into the spine, thus creating a more durable bond. Another advantage of PUR is that less material is required than EVA. Using less binding material yields perfect-bound edges that are more square than can be achieved with EVA.
