Buying Binding Machine Need 5 Steps


If you are in need of binding machine, something you feel confused must be how I can buy a real good binding machine. After all you may a layman who totally doesn’t know how to tell its quality. There are many types of binding machine and each type would differ in price, binding method, capacity and a lot of other things. Which format should you use in home or office? I try to help answer that question in this article.

1. Document Protection Principle
Binding should protect them from damages and appearance of documents. Choosing a binding machine to use for your report or paper, however, is not as simple as just picking any binder you can find in the market. 

2. Decide What Kind of Document?
Decide whether your document needs a traditional finish, a book-style finish, a contemporary finish or a finish with some metallic appearance. Then, base your choice on this decision.

3. How Will The Machine Be Used?
If the binding machine would be used at home or in a home office, and not regularly at that, then a simple and affordable binding machine would generally be recommended. Larger offices that demands more binding jobs would need some complex and electrical binding machine unit.

4. Binding Machine Types
After you’ve answered all the questions and have eventually determined what kind of binding machine you need for your documents, then it is time for you to consider your options. There are a lot of binding machines available today and each of them has their own set of strengths and weaknesses.

Glue binding is probably the most recognizable type of binding technology. It is the type of binding that one usually sees in blank notebooks. Coil binding machines are available in table top and floor standing models.
- Offers a unique and contemporary finish to documents
Can bind documents of up to approximately 1 inch in thickness
Ideal for low volumes of binding and generally used by organizations like schools and churches

Comb binding machine
They work very similarly to wire binding machines are capable of punching 25 sheets of paper at one time, and insert a plastic comb binding through the pages. These are ideal for small publications, and are operated with a food pedal. The advantage of electric comb binding machines is that they are more affordable than wire binding machines.

Wire Loop Binding Machines
Wire loop binds appear like a combination of coil bound and plastic comb bound documents. This is because wire loop machines use wires in double loop design. Once inserted into the document, this wire loop will then be closed by the machine or a separate closer.
- Offers a clean and stylish premium metal finish
- Bind documents of up to 1 inch in thickness
- Ideal for binding presentations, manuals and sales materials

They work by crimping pages together with glue, producing the most professional, “book” appearing publications, and are capable of producing up to 3,000 bound documents per hour. They start at $600, so if you’re only producing a small number of thin documents, they may not be your best option, but are ideal if you need to produce a large volume of documents quickly.
