About Mazina

What is the Mazina™ Brand?

Mazina™ is a family of products that includes Hinged PhotoPages with Flexbind® technology for press-printed books.

What is FlexBind® technology?

The FlexBind® process integrates a unique hinge into quality, archival digital papers producing a digital sheet product that is ready to print.

Mazina® Hinged PhotoPages combine the patent pending FlexBind® hinge with various digital stocks to produce a range of sheet sizes and formats for press-printed products.

After being imaged the unique hinge allows finished bound volumes to lay flat to display full panoramic spreads. Mazina™ FlexBind® papers, with superior toner adhesion and the strength and durability to hold up to demanding book applications, give the digital printer a “head start” on producing a superior product.

What’s the significance of the Mazina™ name?

Mazina, the name we have chosen for this fine line of innovative print media and book making products, is respectfully borrowed from the language of the Anishinabe. Also referred to as Ojibwe and Chippewa, Anishinabe is the name The People call themselves. It means, Original People of the Woodland. Mazina is their word meaning book.

The Anishinabeg (plural) revere nature, The Creator, ancestors, tradition, family and storytelling. They have lived and continue to live in the sacred lands surrounding the Great Lakes of North America during centuries upon centuries of continuous occupancy.

Mazina products are dedicated to recording, preserving and sharing works of lasting art and memories now, and for future generations. Mazina media combine the creativity of the human spirit with state of the art digital imaging, publishing and paper making technologies to produce enduring books of great beauty, importance and meaning.
