Press release submitted on behalf of Standard
Standard Finishing Systems, a leading distributor of print finishing solutions, has announced that Finishing 360, their annual event for print service providers in the U.S. and Canada, will be held at Standard’s National Demonstration and Training Center in Andover, MA, on May 20th and 21st, 2026.
Finishing 360 brings visitors from across the country to Standard’s state-of-the-art demonstration center to experience a comprehensive lineup of the latest Horizon print finishing solutions. During the two-day event, Standard offers hands-on, personalized equipment demonstrations as well as high-level tours of their complete finishing line.
This year, attendees can expect to see the latest and most popular finishing solutions from Horizon including the HSF-50 High-Speed Sheet Feeder, the BQ-300 Perfect Binder inline with the HT-300 Three-side Trimmer, the SPF-2000 Bookletmaker, the CABS 4000 Perfect Binding System, Horizon’s iCE LiNK PostPress Management System, and more. In addition, Standard will be working with partners across the industry to present integrated finishing solutions for roll-fed and cut-sheet production including the Horizon SmartSlitter inline with a digital cut-sheet press, the Horizon AFV-564SF Folder inline with an EMT unwinder, processor, and cutter, and the Horizon StitchLiner Mark V Saddlestitcher inline with a Tecnau Unwinder u50i and Cutter c7 and a Palamides Gamma 502 HO Automatic for stacking and banding.
Visitors to this year’s Finishing 360 will also be invited to attend exclusive previews of two new solutions for large-format perfect binding and folding direct from the Horizon factory in Japan. This will mark the first previews of these solutions in the U.S. or Canada. Attendees will also be able to learn about Standard’s service support options including service contracts, parts, preventative maintenance, trade-in opportunities, and technical support. Finally, Finishing 360 will feature a specially catered lunch, raffles, and giveaways for all attendees, and a local barista will be onsite each day to serve up made-to-order craft coffee, espresso, and more.
“While our National Demonstration and Training Center is always open for guests, Finishing 360 is a great opportunity for printers to visit Standard to see the latest finishing solutions from Horizon in an interactive setting where they can consult with our team of finishing experts directly during our live demonstrations,” said Paul Steinke, Director of Sales at Standard. “We look forward to seeing new and returning visitors from across the country on May 20th and 21st!”
