Flash 60" Flower Activity Table - Thermal Fused Laminate

Thermally fused laminate is also called thermally fused Melamine or low pressure laminate. In this process heat and resin are applied to Melamine paper to bond the papers together, and the bonded paper is glued to the table or counter top board. This type of laminate can be produced in higher volume than high pressure laminate, and is more economical. It is somewhat less resistant to wear than the high pressure laminate, since it is composed of a thinner layer. Desks, shelving, inner areas of cabinets and items such as point of purchase display devices are made with this laminate.

Flash 48'' x 72'' Kidney Activity Table - High Pressure Laminate

High pressure laminate is the most durable type of laminate. It uses a high pressure press process to bond several sheets of paper together. The pressed paper is usually glued onto the table or counter top using a PVA glue. Desks and other work surfaces are common uses for high pressure laminate. Formica and Wilsonart are common brands of high pressure laminate sold in the U.S.

Martin Yale Paper Folding Machine – A Good Value

Looking for a machine that can help you fold paper but don’t want to spend a lot?  You can get a low-priced folding machine that really increases the productivity in your office, church, school, mailroom, or non-profit organization.  Some systems can cost thousands of dollars, but you can find a good machine for under $2,000 that can fold over 8,000 sheets in an hour.

Martin Yale 1217A AutoFolder Folding Machine

The Martin Yale 1217A Medium-Duty AutoFolder Paper Folding Machine is a great choice and is considered a medium-volume machine.  Available at Magnolia Office for around $1,200, it is rated to operate at a speed of 10,300 sheets per hour, but it is not recommended to run it at that speed for long.  If you do, the machine will tend to wear more quickly and reduce its operation life.  If you need to fold volumes of 10,000/hour or more on a consistent basis, you should use a machine that is rated for higher-volume than the 1217A.

Some of the great features of this machine are an output conveyor system, jam prevention feature such as a reversing switch and removable tables.  It also can fold large paper up to 12” X 18”, which many similar-priced machines cannot do.

The machine can handle paper with weights from 16 lb. to 135 lb. index.

It can fold six type of folds: letter, half, z-fold, double parallel, right-angle and baronial.  It is also adjustable for the first fold within a fold range of 2″ and 11 ½, and for the second fold 1 1/2″ to 5 3/4″.  This gives you the ability to do custom folding.

The fully-adjustable paper guide allows you to fit the paper size you need, and the built-in conveyor produces a nice, fanned output that is easy to handle.   This folder does not work well with glossy paper, however.  If you need to fold glossy stock, you should look at an air-feed folder.

Tips on Designing Your Office

Opening a new office? Or perhaps you are relocating or re-decorating your current offices. There are many factors to consider in putting together your office.  Check out these tips and great advise.

Furniture and Design

Furniture for the office is part of the total work environment that creates an ambiance for your workplace.  What is furniture?  It is basically a term that describes objects that are movable and made to support various activates of people such as sleeping, preparing food, sitting, and working.

Color and design can positively influence the office mood

When it comes to working, most people today work indoor jobs in an office environment, and their workspace can be extremely important – not only for function and comfort, but also for the general way it makes you feel.

The décor of your office is known to influence your mood and emotions, and can have an effect on your energy.  Good office design can have a positive emotional value, and can increase the mood and productivity of people who work there.

Lighting, wall design and color, clocks and furniture are all part of the make-up of the decorative art of interior design.

Choosing your office furniture can be a challenging but fun task.  Office furniture should blend well with the general theme of the office, and can be made of many materials such as wood, fabric, metal, plastic, leather vinyl and polyurethane.

Boss Executive chair - Vinyl with polyurethane arms

Polyurethane is a polymer that is used for seating products and has a strong, durable quality that is easy to clean and inexpensive.

A good interior designer can help with guiding your vision of how you want your office to appeal to both employees and also visitors and clients.

Furniture has enjoyed a long history, dating back to the Neolithic period – from 3100–2500, where stone furniture has been found.  Probably not the most mobile, but it was furniture!

There are many styles of furniture to choose form.  Their themes are based on history, geography and culture.

Some of these styles include Classical, which stems from about 2550 BC to 80 AD. These pieces tend to be highly decorative and inlaid with precious metals, stones, and include detailed pictures and designs.

Some people prefer the style of Early modern European furniture.

Baroque Style Table

*

*

This style draws its features from European Middle Ages.  Much of the furniture was made from heavy, oak, and was large and heavy.  This style also encompasses designs such as Baroque, which is characterized by opulent, detailed dramatic designs, infused with scrolling and vegetal ornamentation.

Classical Style Workspace

*

A design style from a more recent time is Art Nouveau, which came about in the late 1800s to early 1900s and its forms are inspired by natural items forms and structures.  Much if the designs are taken from plants, flowers, birds, as well as natural landscape forms and curved lines. The idea is furniture that harmonizes with the natural environment.

Art Nouveau style Desk

*

Asian style furniture is also widely diverse design that stems from a rich history of many countries and use of materials.    Designs from China, Pakistan, Japan and Indonesia are the best-known.

Early American Style

The early American design style comes from North American settlers and is borne out of necessity.  Pieces tend to be made of hardwood, some of fruit of nut-bearing trees such as walnut and cherry, and often simple and functional, with little decoration.

Modern Style Chair by Global Furniture

The Modern style of design was developed in the first three quarters of the 20^th century.  Post World War II design ideologies such as Art Deco and Bauhaus, and is represented by very little or no decorative pictures or inlay, but sparse, simple style with function and accessibility as the theme.  Gone was the ornamental detailing of the traditional European styling, and instead was a bearing simplicity of geometry.

The famous Nohuchi Table

Polished metal, smoothed wood, fiberglass and plastics comprise visually light pieces in a minimalist style.

Eco Design is based on the production of furniture that uses less and less resources and has less environmental impact than non-eco-design furniture.  For example, many pieces are made with

recycled and renewable materials.

The Booklet Maker Solution – Make Books In-House

What do you do if you have booklets that you need to print and distribute on a regular basis, but don’t want to spend the money to bind them?  Outsourcing at the printer can be very costly – especially if you have to do a lot of books and fairly often.  There are great solutions for making booklets under 100 pages in-house.

A COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION – GET A BOOKLET MAKER

Booklet Makers can save your organization time and money because you will be able to make booklets on demand, and the equipment will pay for itself.  No more hassle if the printing company takes too long or prints it the wrong size.  Everything is under control inside your organization.

Booklet Makers are basically machines that take your printed sheets which are book-formatted, and automatically fold and staple the sheets to create a booklet.  You can also create pamphlets and other material.  Some booklet makers use wire stitching instead of staples.

MBM Booklet Maker Jr.

MBM BOOKLET MAKERS

There are several makes of booklet makers on the market.  One very reputable company is MBM. This company is also known for its Triumph paper cutters and DestroyIt paper shredders.

MBM makes several Booklet makers, from low to high end.  The smallest and lowest-volume model is the Bookletmaker Jr., which is a semi-automatic table top unit and can make a booklet up to 40 pages (10 sheets of paper).  It centers the paper and staples, and the operator must depress a handle to staple and fold the booklet.  This machine is suitable for offices that need only a few small booklets on an occasional basis.

MBM Sprint 3000 Booklet Maker

For the higher-volume offices, MBM makes the Sprint 3000, a floor model which can handle booklets up to 100 pages (25 sheets) of from 5 1/2″ x 8″ to 11 1/2″ x 17 1/2″, and can process up to 1,500 sets/hour.  With two stapling heads, it jogs, staples and folds in one automated step.  There are four stapling positions to choose from, and it has a powered exit conveyor for the booklets as they emerge.

For that professional touch, you can get a face trimmer for the Sprint 3000 and Sprint 5000 Booklet Makers, which cut the face of the pages into an even surface.  Everyone will think your booklets were done at a print shop.

FORMAX BOOKLET MAKERS

Formax is another very good manufacturer that offers a low volume semi-automatic table top booklet maker called the FD 160.  The reliable Formax FD 160 is great for low volume needs in churches, schools, print shops and offices.  It staples and folds up to 12 sheets of paper (20 lb bond), which produces booklets of 48 pages.  To operate, you insert the sheets, press down the stapling handle, and the FD 160 does the rest.  It has motorized rollers that fold then elect the finished booklet.  The FD 160 can make up to 420 booklets in an hour.

Formax FD 160 Booklet Maker

It is lightweight and portable, and has self-centering adjustable paper guides, with a steel construction for durability.  It takes paper from 10.25in. – 18.5in. L x 7.75in. – 11.75in. W.

You can see a video of how it works here:  http://www.formax.com/160_Video.htm

President Obama Holds Town Hall Meeting with LinkedIn CEO

Yesterday Sept. 26 2011 President Obama held a Town Hall meeting with LinkIn CEO Jeff Weiner, and LinkedIn and community members to discuss job creation and putting America back to work.  The meeting was held at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley, CA.

President Obama gave a brief introduction about some of the problems the U.S. is facing and the importance of the passing this bill.  He answered questions from the audience for about 50 minutes.

Jeff Weiner pointed out during his introduction that in the U.S. today,

14 million people are unemployed

25 million people either unemployed or underemployed

There are only 3.2 million available jobs

President Obama said that the American Jobs Act will not only help in the short term to put people back to work, but the repercussions from that will help to grow the economy as a result.  He stressed that we need to continue to spark the innovation of entrepreneurs and invest in basic research and science – some of the things that built this country.   He also indicated that if we do not make sure our children are properly educated, we will fall behind.

Putting people back to work now as opposed to next year was also the main short-term objective.

The president summarized that the American Jobs Act could help do this by creating jobs for people working in infrastructure work and construction, and giving more tax incentives to small business which will allow them to hire people.  President Obama said that the funding for these things is already paid for, by reforming the budget – eliminating out-dated and wasteful areas and re-routing the funds to the Jobs Act.

In stressing that the most important thing we can do right now is to pass the Jobs Act, he pointed out that Economists estimate this will result in an increase GDP (Gross Domestic Product) close to 2%, and will increase employment by 1.9 million people.

He also mentioned that since he has been in office, they’ve cut taxes 16 times for small business, easing their financial burden.

Another benefit mentioned was making it easier to refinance or obtain a mortgage. Mr. Obama reassured the audience that Medicare and Social Security will remain in place, and that the government will continue to enforce consumer protection and safety regulations as needed.
