Horizon VAC-100A Suction Collator
The Horizon VAC-100A is a highly regarded 10-station suction collator designed for reliable production across a wide range of stocks.

Horizon SPF-200A Bookletmaker
The Horizon SPF-200A receives the collated sets directly from the VAC-100A and automatically stitches and folds them to produce professionally finished booklets.
A major feature of the SPF-200A is its large 10.4-inch colour touchscreen, providing intuitive operation, straightforward job setup and quick changeovers between different booklet formats.

Horizon FC-200A Fore-Edge Trimmer
Following stitching and folding, the booklet passes automatically into the Horizon FC-200A fore-edge trimmer.
The FC-200A accurately trims the open edge of the booklet, providing a clean and consistent finished product.
Key Features
- Automatic fore-edge trimming
- Programmable setup
- Accurate and consistent trimming
- Fully integrated with the SPF-200A

Squarefold Finishing
The final stage of the system is the Squarefold unit, which transforms the traditional folded spine into a professional square-backed finish.
Square-backed booklets have the appearance of a perfect-bound publication while retaining the speed and economy of stitched booklet production.
This produces a flatter, more substantial and higher-quality finished product, particularly suited to:
- Brochures
- Catalogues
- Manuals
- Programmes
- Corporate publications
- Instruction books
- Short-run digital publications
