overview
PBM5000 booklet production, configured for the work.
Explore the current Plockmatic PBM5000 family for inline booklet production. Compare staple and stitch versions, format flexibility and finishing requirements alongside the press you plan to use.
Plan portrait, landscape and suitable two-up booklets as complete products.
booklets with more format choice
Use the PBM5000 family for brochures, catalogues and other folded publications. Start with the finished page size, page count and stock combination, then work back to the required sheet and booklet-making configuration.
Application illustration; not a production sample.
35-sheet or 50-sheet systems
PBM5035 variants handle up to 35 sheets, and PBM5050 variants up to 50 sheets of 80 g/m² paper—up to 140 or 200 booklet pages respectively. Heavier and mixed stocks change the practical capacity.
Application illustration; not a production sample.
staple, stitch & finish
choose how the booklet comes together.
Match the binding method and finished appearance to your application.
staple and stitch versions
PBM5035/PBM5050 use two staple heads. The s variants use two to four stitch heads and offer additional production possibilities. Choose the model rather than assuming every capability is common to the family.
Application illustration; not a production sample.
squarefold and face trim
The manufacturer lists squarefolding and face trimming in the standard finishing module. A square spine changes the booklet's appearance, but it remains a stitched or stapled booklet rather than a perfect-bound book.
Application illustration; not a production sample.
press integration
specify the complete finishing line.
Connect the booklet maker, interfaces and press around the work you want to deliver.
compatible Ricoh production presses
The current manufacturer page lists Pro C7500 and Pro C9500 family connectivity. Confirm the required interface, press options and exact system combination before finalising the layout.
Application illustration; not a production sample.
prepare a representative booklet
Include the real cover and text stock in a production sample. Check trim, fold, spine, page order and staple placement at the planned thickness—not just an empty-paper demonstration.
