Your Opinion Please! The Quickcorner Machine.


This week we're looking for your feedback on a product which we are relaunching to see if it's something that is of interest to you all. The product is a previous winner of the FATG innovation awards and boasts a great list of compliaments from the US market and an increasing growth in take up.

The product comes in 5 different types. The first, of which there is a video below is the standard model. Heres the blurb...

"The QUICKCORNERTM STANDARD machine is the backbone of the QUICKCORNERTM product line. Simple, reliable, adjustable and cost effective. The operator simply loads a number (250) of corners into the feeder. The operator places a frame into the machine where a pair of optical sensors start the process. The machine feeds the corners forward and under the corner of the frame, then folds and staples the corner to the frame. Turn the frame three times and it is finished"

It really is that simple and effective and moreover....fast. Think about how time consumng it is at the moment to fold and staple loads of corners?

The Second machine is the Tandem machine

"The QUICKCORNERTM TANDEM machine automatically attaches two corners at the same time. The operator simply loads a number(250) of corners into the feeder on each machine. The operator places a frame into the machine where a pair of optical sensors start the process. The machine feeds the corners forward and under two corners of the frame, then folds and staples the corner to the frame. Turn the frame one time and it is finished"

Then theres the Quickcorner Hot melt Gluer.

The QUICKCORNERTM GLUE machine is an addition to the QUICKCORNER product line. Simple and cost effective way to attach corners to a metal or plastic frame. The operator simply loads a number(250) of corners into the feeder. The machine feeds the corners forward and under the corner of the frame, then folds and glues the corner to the frame.


And the most popular model in the US right now. The Glue and fold machine. Theres a video of this one below too

The QUICKCORNER FOLD & GLUE MACHINE folds and glues your shipping corners, ready to slip on to your frame and staple in place. The operator will simply load a large stack of corners into the machine, push the start button and let the machine do the work. The corners come to you pre-stripped and ready to load. One machine will run about 1,400 corners per hour. Just think, no operator breaks, no pay raises, no sick days or benefits to pay. Most important, no carpel-tunnel injuries.



And finally V wedge machine.

The QUICKCORNER V-WEDGE machine is a new addition to the QUICKCORNERTM product line. The V-WEDGE lets you install corners on most profiles. Simple, reliable, adjustable and cost effective. The operator simply loads a number (250) of corners into the feeder. The operator places a frame into the machine where a pair of optical sensors start the process. The machine feeds the corners forward and under the V-WEDGE and the frame, then folds and staples the corner to the frame. Turn the frame three times and it is finished.

What we'd like is your feedback on these machines. The pricing is yet to be advised, however, what we're really trying to gauge is if this is something that would help you out in these tough times?

Brand New - Mounting Blocks!

As new products go for innovation and simplicity we can't fault the new mounting blocks from "Mount-It".

Mount it blocks are contemporary solid wooden blocks for you to pressure mount or double sided tape your images to. The blocks have heatsealed edges and 100% coating to both the face and the reverse in a great contemporary black colour.

We came across this product when recommended to us from the guys at Drytac/Hot Press. An ideal product to add to your arsenal of contemporary picture hanging and great for sign makers, printers, photographer and framers alike, so its a real cross-industry product.

The blocks come with hanging holes on the reverse to be used for landscape or portrait hanging or simply used free standing.

For added impact the blocks come in a very well put together presentation box, which is unbranded for your use to present to your customers.

It comes in a variety of different sizes available to buy now on our website here. However, these prices are RRP. Contact me (tim@tabmasteruk.com) for trade customers and pricing.

See our You Tube video below for a full detailed description of the product, but i'm sure you'll agree its something that can give you the WOW! factor!
