Training & Qualification


	(Abstract from Career Articles)

	Bookbinders and Bindery Workers
	Most bookbinders and bindery workers learn the craft through on-the-job training. Inexperienced workers usually are assigned simple tasks such as moving paper from cutting machines to folding machines. They learn basic binding skills, including the characteristics of paper and how to cut large sheets of paper into different sizes with the least amount of waste. Usually, it takes 1 to 3 months to learn to operate the simpler machines but it can take up to 1 year to become completely familiar with more complex equipment, such as computerized binding machines. On letterpress equipment, as workers gain experience they advance to more difficult tasks, such as embossing and adding holograms. As workers advance, they learn to operate more types of equipment.
