The printed materials have an off-center cross-fold which defines a longer part and a shorter part and an outermost page and an innermost page of the newspaper. The newspaper also includes an adhesive closure for securing the off-center cross-fold. The adhesive closure contacts a short part of the outermost page of the newspaper and a long part of the innermost page of the newspaper. A method for producing a newspaper is also provided.

Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus includes a winding unit configured to wind a continuous sheet, a binding unit configured to bind the continuous sheet that is wound and stacked by the winding unit, and a first cutting unit configured to cut the continuous sheet that is bound by the binding unit in a state that the continuous sheet is wound by the winding unit.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for collecting a printed copy is disclosed. A collecting cylinder is operable in a non-collect mode and a collect mode. A cam collect is coupled to the collecting cylinder. The collecting cylinder is switchable between the non-collect mode and the collect mode by a relative rotational movement between the collecting cylinder and the cam collect.

Abstract: A print control apparatus and a print control method perform optimum page layout processing in accordance with properties of output apparatus capable of book bind printing. The order of sheets and the order of sides are obtained as book bind print setting information from the type of printer capable of book bind printing or paper discharge orifice or the type of finisher, then based on the obtained setting information, the page layout upon book bind printing is determined, and print data transmitted to the output apparatus is generated in accordance with the determined page layout.

Abstract: A delivery apparatus for folding machines having a folding apparatus FA and a delivery apparatus DA, comprising a delivery fly 3 for receiving signatures S1, S2 and S3 folded by the folding apparatus FA, a conveyor C for operating the delivery fly 3 at a predetermined speed ratio and receiving the signatures S1, S2 and S3 from the delivery fly 3, a gear drive 1 having a plurality of gear ratios provided between the folding apparatus FA and the delivery fly 3 for transmitting power to the delivery fly 3, and changeover means 2 capable of selectively changing over the gear ratio of the gear drive 1, so that the operating speed of the delivery fly 3 can be set to a plurality of speed steps with respect to the operating speed of the folding apparatus FA.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming books comprising pages of coated paper interspersed with pages of newsprint paper. The book is formed by providing a moving web of coated paper, providing a plurality of moving webs of newsprint paper, printing the moving web of coated paper with inks of a plurality of colors including printing within identified coupon areas, selectively perforating the moving web of coated paper around the printed coupon areas, subjecting the moving web of coated paper to a heatset operation to set the inks on the web, printing the moving webs of newsprint paper with at least one color ink, and associating the moving webs of coated paper and newsprint paper in a pasting, folding, and cutting operation to form a plurality of books each comprising a plurality of pages of coated paper interspersed with a plurality of pages of newsprint paper and adhesively bound together along one longitudinal edge of the book and each including detachable coupons on at least some of the coated paper pages.

Abstract: A parallelepipedal storage container is formed of at least two-sections. Each section is foldable to separate the section into a central base wall and two side walls. The adjacent base and side walls can be oriented at right angles to each other. The storage container is formed by mating the sections so that the side edges of the side walls on one section are disposed adjacent the side edges of the side walls of the other section to form edges of the storage container. The sections are secured together using a tongue and groove connection to mate the sections along respective edges. Three and four section containers can be formed.

Abstract: A returnable case which is assembled or disassembled in use for transportion of the packaged freight, comprising the respective pairs of rectangularly formed major frames (16) and minor frames (18) mounted in the vertical direction along each of longer and shorter edges of a skid (14), respectively. One or a pair of guard members (20) are horizontally, removably attached on the top of the frames, and a pair of headers (30) are disposed along either side along which a pair of frames are mounted. All components of a disassembled returnable case are packed in a space having a height of not exceeding that of the headers.

Abstract: Folding apparatus for signatures having a given format includes at least a first longitudinal folding device, a plurality of cylinders arranged in succession thereafter and followed by at least a second longitudinal folding device. Also included are a cylinder section having a base frame, and two cross-fold systems operatable independently of one another and integrated in the base frame. Each of the cross-fold systems has cylinders for guidingly carrying signatures having a given format, the signature-carrying cylinders being of such diameter as to have an outer cylindrical surface extending over the circumference thereof adequate for carrying one behind the other at one time at least two of the signatures having the given format.
