After a significant last few years of growth in products like diaries and calendars, instantprint has unveiled a £250,000 investment in the RENZ INLINE 500, a state-of-the-art, fully automatic punching and binding line designed to accelerate and elevate its wire-bound product offering.

Built for industrial-scale output, the RENZ INLINE 500 combines precision German engineering with operator-friendly automation to deliver up to 2,000 wire-bound products per hour. The upgrade significantly increases instantprint’s capacity to fulfil demand for professional-quality bound books, presentations and calendars at speed and scale. Customers will now be able to get more of the books they want printing on faster turnarounds.

The RENZ INLINE 500 handles formats up to 500mm wide, punches through up to 4.5mm thickness, and binds up to 15mm wire in a fully automated sequence. With its Quick Size Adjustment (QSA) system and touch screen-assisted setup, the line enables lightning-fast format changes—cutting downtime between jobs to as little as five minutes.

“This investment in the RENZ INLINE 500 strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality wire-bound products at scale delivering higher volumes and faster turnarounds than any other major UK printer.” said Jon Constantine-Smith, Head of instantprint.

This latest upgrade marks another milestone in instantprint’s ongoing technology and sustainability roadmap. Following a recent £8 million expansion into large format, the RENZ INLINE 500 reinforces the company’s commitment to speed, quality and eco-conscious production. As with all instantprint operations, the line uses FSC-certified paper and recyclable packaging.
