When Global Web Finishing combines several or more web finishing elements and components into an operational process with the web press, it is termed “inline” finishing. Inline finishing on web presses likely started around 1970. Historically, some argued that make readies were too long or waste was too high, but that’s just not true today. GWF is completely dedicated to making high output performance on our inline finishing systems simple to master. For example, advancements in the way shaftless technology, monitoring and adjustment is used for advanced tension control throughout all phases of inline operation is just the start in making the least experienced operators look like pros in no time.

Inline finishing is a natural progression for web offset heatset presses printing mid volume run lengths and up for the direct mail or general commercial segments. Ask anyone that uses web press inline finishing at any level and it would be clear that they could not be profitable if they were still cutting and folding in a secondary process.

The big benefit of inline however remains the absolute versatility this manufacturing platform allows, and, from that, the creative capacity for product advancement and development. There are products that simply must be produced in continuous web format.

Advertisements must attract the attention of the purchasing audience, and therefore need to appeal to consumer senses without being offensive. Print ads must be smart and evoke curiosity to compete for the recipient’s time each day.

Global Web Finishing systems provide printers with all the tools necessary to develop your press and business.

Global Web Finishing new inline systems are always offered based on full realization of your needs, both immediate and future. GWF recognizes uptime utilization and increased efficiency must justify your investment.
