What is collate in printing?

Collating is a process in printing where multiple copies of a document are arranged in a specific order. This can be done manually by physically sorting the pages or by using a machine that automatically arranges the pages in the correct sequence. Collating is often used for creating multiple sets of documents such as reports, presentations, or booklets. It helps to ensure that each copy of the document contains the same information and is in the intended order. Collating can save time and improve efficiency in handling large printing projects.
