Beyond the Staple: Choosing the Perfect Bencher for Your Event
There are many benchers available on the market, but before you begin selecting, it’s important to identify what matters most to you. At Cohen Printing, we believe that the quality of the finish should be the first thing you consider since this is an event and not a promotional item.
The Quality You Can Expect (Our Standard)
Unlike standard benchers you may find elsewhere, all of our products are finished with a professional, book-style binding.
-
A Cleaner Finish: Most benchers on the market are held together with industrial staples or wrap-around tape. We have eliminated those. Every bencher we sell features a smooth, clean spine for a more polished appearance.
-
What You See Is What You Get: We believe in “no surprises.” The photos on our site are a 95% exact representation of our actual product.
-
A Professional Build: Our specialized binding process creates a sleek, flat spine. It feels more substantial in your guests’ hands and sits beautifully on your event tables.
Which Bencher Is Right for You?
Language Combinations: Do you need Hebrew and English? Hebrew, English, and Transliteration? Hebrew with Transliteration only? Or a Hebrew-only bencher?
Tradition: You can also choose between Standard or Chabad benchers to best suit your specific tradition and preferences.
