A Little About Rapid Bind
In 1977, our company began with only two people and few pieces of used bindery equipment in 1,500 square feet of rented space. Today, we are a leading bindery serving the Pacific Northwest. Rapid Bind, Inc. now has more than forty employees, operates two shifts and utilizes 34,000 square feet of clean, efficiently organized space in Portland, Oregon.
