Samples
A sample of each tip-on must be received at
least 30 days prior to the commencement of binding. If a sample
is not received within this specified timeframe then Hannanprint
NSW reserves the right of refusal.
Hannanprint NSW reserves the right to specify packaging
requirements for tip-ons upon receipt of the sample.
Hannanprint NSW reserves the right to request a minimum
of 1,000 samples of any tip-on for testing purposes prior to the
commencement of binding.
Production Points to Consider
The tip-on unit requires a closed edge / spine
on multi page products.
Additional make ready time is required.
Thick products such as booklets and sachets may affect
the trim quality of the book.
Tips-ons such as sachets containing loose product
(coffee, tea bags, lotions, etc.) must be packaged in accordance
to the guidelines under Delivery / Packaging / Presentation. Failure
to present product in this way may incur production slow downs and
extra charges.
Unusual tip-ons which are bulky (i.e.; generally more
than half the thickness of the product being inserted) or vary in
thickness in relation to the product in which they are being inserted,
may have adverse affects on any or all of the following:
- Packaging / Transport
- Book Presentation
- Quality of the finished product
Hannanprint NSW recommends that these issues be taken
into consideration to avoid unacceptable finished products.
Products must not stick together either due to printer's
ink, electrostatic charge, punching or perforation. They must not
have any bent edges or corners, creases or misaligned spines. These
all have serious adverse affects on the feeding capabilities of
the tip-on units.
Sachets must have at least one straight edge. This
will determine position orientation.
Sachets containing trapped air will adversely affect
quality.
Positioning
Tip-ons units are not 100% accurate for precise,
consistent positioning throughout the run.
Hannanprint NSW advises that the ideal position for
a tip-on is in the centre of the page. Where more than one tip-on
has been booked for the same publication, the tip-ons must
not be positioned directly above one another.
If the product is knocked to the foot
then the tip-on is applied to the left
hand page.
If the product is knocked to the head
then the tip-on is applied to the right
hand page.
A tip-on must be positioned a minimum of 20mm from
any edge of the carrier product.
Pre-punched stickers must be a minimum of 30mm from
the edge that runs parallel to the spine of the carrier product.
Excess adhesive is not permitted to emerge.
A tip-on may go into a saddle-stitched
or perfect bound publication and may be treated as a secondary process.
Different conditions apply.
