Webcom Receives Recycling Award

Webcom was recently awarded the 2002/2003 Silver Ontario Waste Minimization Award by the Recycling Council of Ontario (RCO). This award recognizes businesses that have demonstrated a commitment to environmental protection by reducing resource energy requirements, waste materials and air and water pollution.

Working with Webcom Just Got Easier

From the production floor to the accounting office, Webcom constantly strives to create the most efficient workflow - one that benefits our customers by ensuring Webcom is working efficiently and cost-effectively.

Discover PDF Book Builder: Webcom’s Flexible PDF Authoring Tool

With the introduction of PDF Book Builder, Webcom offers a web-based publishing tool that helps our customers make the transition from a paper to a digital workflow. PDF Book Builder allows a user to create a new PDF document (for print, CD or web) from an archive (or Digital Library) of PDF documents, shortening the publishing cycle for frequently updated documents.

New Laminator Adds Options and Speed

We’re always looking for ways to deliver improved quality and greater efficiencies to Webcom customers. With that in mind, we have now installed an Autofeeds Heat Seal Laminator.

With this new laminator, Webcom can now provide matte or gloss lamination on both the inside and outside of covers, enhancing a cover’s strength and appeal.

Faster production and reduced waste mean your lamination jobs run more efficiently.

Price Protection Offered on Some Paper Grades

In order to provide economical, high quality options for publishers, Webcom has recently negotiated price guarantees for several of its text papers through December 2004.

Specially priced sheets include Reference Opaque (40lb.), High Value Text (40 lb.), Performance Text (60 lb.), Trade Book White (50 lb.) and Trade Book Natural (50 lb.).

Contact your Webcom Sales Representative at 1-800-665-9322 to find out if one of these papers is suitable for you.

The Right Paper, The Right Partner

Because paper selection alone accounts for as much as 50% of a book’s total manufacturing cost, it is the best way to maximize the value of your project. Consulting with your Webcom Representative early in the planning stages will help you find the best paper for your books _ and the best price for your budget.

For text and cover papers, knowing what attributes you want (i.e. opacity, brightness, finish, caliper, etc.) will help you make the right selection.

Your Sales Representative can also assist you with this information.
