Why Buying Used Print Finishing Equipment Beats Buying New

When it comes to investing in print finishing and bindery equipment, the question every print professional faces is simple: do I buy new or used?

At Binding Store Ltd, we’ve helped hundreds of businesses grow their capabilities with both new and second-hand machines. And the truth is, for many customers, buying used is the smartest choice you can make.

1. Immediate Cost Savings

A brand-new Morgana DigiFold Pro might set you back £50,000+, whereas a lightly used model could be purchased for less than half that. Those savings can be reinvested straight back into your business — whether it’s expanding your services, hiring staff, or boosting marketing.

2. Avoiding Heavy Depreciation

Just like cars, new machines lose value the moment they’re installed. By buying used, you skip the steepest part of the depreciation curve. If you decide to upgrade later, your resale value will be far stronger.

⚙️ 3. Proven Reliability

The best-engineered machines — from brands like Morgana, Renz, Rilecart, and Uchida — are designed to last. Many presses and bindery machines comfortably run for decades when maintained properly. A used unit that’s been serviced, refurbished, and tested can be just as reliable (if not more) than something fresh off the factory floor.

️ 4. Full Support & Training

At Binding Store, every used machine is supplied with:

  • Comprehensive servicing before delivery

  • Professional installation

  • Operator training

  • Ongoing technical support & spare parts

That means you’re not just buying equipment — you’re investing in a long-term partnership.

5. Better for Sustainability

Why scrap a perfectly good machine? Extending the life of professional print finishing equipment reduces waste and supports a more sustainable print industry. Many of our customers actively choose used for this reason alone.

Real-World Example

One of our long-standing customers purchased a Morgana Autocreaser from us over 15 years ago. Not only is it still running strong, but when they needed advice and parts recently, we were there to support them. That’s the Binding Store difference: service that lasts longer than the warranty period.
