Overview

Collators and gatherers are essential machines in the printing and binding industry, designed to organize and assemble printed sheets or pages into a specific order. Collators generally handle individual sheets, while gatherers work with folded signatures. These machines improve efficiency and accuracy in preparing booklets, catalogs, and other multi-page documents.
