PUBLISHING SERVICES OF THE KOREAN BIBLE SOCIETY: Its Birth and ConceptKBS Publishing Services sounds new, but it is simply another way of

expressing our commitment to serve our friends and colleagues the best we

can to support their mission. Our increasingly globalised yet diversified

societies make it even more challenging to meet needs of Bible readers, and

demands for streamlined services linking pre-publishing, production, and

supply, and better customer support have never been greater. In recognition

of such requirements, KBS Publishing Services seeks to address them through

its four main services: Creative Services, Production Services, Supply Services

and Customer Support Services.

27

People’s needs and requirements for Scriptures are changing and becoming more diverse,and the role of pre-publishing in the entire Scripture publishing cycle has become moreimportant than ever. It is therefore the goal of our Creative Services to assist our missionpartners create Scriptures that are more attractive and affordable for the audiences theyare serving.

Creative Services

By studying the changing needs and wants of Bible readers, we hope to develop newtypesetting and resources that will help readers understand God’s Word easily, and to designcovers and layouts that will appeal to them. At the same time, we will make every effort toensure that these new features are offered to readers at the most economical costs. Throughsuch endeavor, we hope God’s Word may be placed onto the hands of greater number ofpeople, and that they may engage with God’s Word in their daily lives.

Production Services

GOOD QUALITY at AFFORDABLE PRICES has always been the goal of our Scripture productionservices. To ensure smooth and efficient Scripture production, we have established our ownbindery, Bible Korea in 2001. Since then, it has served as the backbone of our Scriptureproduction to make available God�s Word to small and big communities all over the world.Bible Korea is equipped with facilities and skilled workforce, and has the capacity of producing30,000 Bibles daily, and up to 9 million Bibles annually. And the 140 production line andmanagement staffs team up to keep production efficient and quality control seamless. Bible Korea has successfully relocated to Paju, a city strategically developed as the bookpublishing and printing industrial center of Korea in September 2009. Its relocation isexpected to streamline our production services and to generate synergistic effects throughimproved networking with the book publishing, printing, and binding companies.

30

BIBLE BINDING BEGINSby trimming printed sheets according to theirsizes. When cut to desired sizes, they arethen folded to form what we call a signature.

31

MACHINES KEEP RUNNINGThe folded signatures are gathered by their page order, sewn together, and are formed as bookblocks. At the same time, a separate process takes place to make Bible covers - cover materialsare cut to sizes, and the word, �Bible� in various languages is embossed onto the cover.

32

Then comes the process called casing where the book block and the cover are bound together tobecome a complete Bible. These Bibles go through the quality inspection upon completion, andare either shrink-wrapped or packed into special cases or plastic bags to get ready for shipment todifferent parts of the world.

33

Supply Services

As a Bible Society, we are fully aware of the impact our Scripture supply has on the ministryand reputation of our sister Bible Societies. So despite the challenges, we are doing our bestto provide prompt and efficient shipping services so that Scriptures are supplied on-time nomatter how remote the destination or how complicated the delivery process.Our three warehouses offer opportunities to reduce cost by producing Scriptures in advanceand storing them for dispatch-on-demand. In case of unanticipated requests to hold shipment,Scriptures can be safely kept in our warehouse at their best condition. Now that Bible Korea has relocated to Paju, we plan to move our warehouse to the samepremises soon. The proposed move is expected to serve as the grounds for enhancing thesupply services of KBS through its increased warehousing capacity and cost reduction throughmaximum automation.
