TBB Grows Beyond Books with Scodix Digital Embellishment

TBB Grows Beyond Books

TBB has been printing books since the mid 17th century, with titles sold in bookshops across more than 60 countries. But customers kept asking for something more like covers and jackets that stood out on the shelf. With Scodix, TBB found the stable, reliable technology to answer that pressure, and has since used it to move beyond books into small series labels and boxes.

A Legacy Business Under Pressure to Innovate

Before installing Scodix, TBB had to rely on outside companies to add any kind of special finish to its book covers and jackets. But the pressure from customers was constant: bring something new, something innovative, to make books more attractive on the shelf.

TBB’s search for a solution came with one non-negotiable requirement: the technology had to be stable and reliable. That’s what led the company to Scodix.

One Press, a Much Wider Product Range

Since installing Scodix, TBB has been able to offer its customers a much wider product portfolio, which includes small series of labels and boxes, work that customers and new prospects have specifically asked for.

TBB now sees this as a real growth path: not just books, but a future digital production line covering labels and boxes as well.

Building a Long Term Technology Partnership

TBB stays in permanent contact with Scodix, staying current on new technologies, applications, and machine improvements. As long as Scodix keeps the core of the machine stable and robust enough for industrial use, TBB sees real potential to add another machine down the line.

In combination with TBB’s own processes, Scodix has already enabled new effects that customers genuinely appreciate.

The Result: New Effects, New Product Lines

As TBB summarizes, “Thanks to Scodix, we are able to provide our customers a much wider product portfolio, and this is also potentially the future of the company  to create another digital line of production.”
