McCain Bindery Systems is an American based manufacturer of quality custom bindery, press, and textbook sewing equipment. From initial planning to final construction, McCain offers the expertise and knowledge to construct long lasting equipment that ensures efficiency and increased profitability.

McCain’s Saddle Stitchers provide durable performance with optimal efficiency. These machines are designed for easy setup, loading, adjustment and low maintenance. They are ideal for the saddle stitching of magazines or books by using a series of staples to hold multiple sections together.

Saddle Stitchers are custom built precisely to customer specifications, and can be scaled up or down to meet production requirements. The Model S2000 Saddle Stitcher is rated at a mechanical speed of 13,000/hr, and is capable of ±.002” accuracy. It can also be used in conjunction with the Model 4-45 center knife trimmer, capable of a maximum finished size of 11 ¾” x 9 3/8”. These systems are engineered specifically for graphic arts, post-printing, newspapers, and bindery operations that require exceptionally high speeds, reliability, and consistency.

To support these systems are authentic replacement parts, a responsive field and repair service, and on-site installation and training. McCain possesses years of experience producing advanced bindery systems. The McCain team uses state of the art machining centers to manufacture and assemble parts to the highest standards, thereby ensuring the reliability of your unit.
