Included among the 60+ services covered in the new report are:

• Packaging prices (e.g.: shrink wrapping and letterhead boxes)
• Creasing & scoring charges
• Collating charges (hourly and per thousand)
• Machine collating charges (off-line)
• Coil, Wire-O, GBC & tape binding
• Drilling (off-line and digital on-line)
• Padding fees (NCR and standard size pads)
