Have you been looking for a bookbinding
method so you can put together your documents right in your office? If
you have been, you should give some consideration to plastic comb
binding. Here are five great reasons why....
Cost. One of the best reasons to go with
comb binding is that it's one of the most cost-effective document
finishing methods currently available. In fact, if you go with another
method (twin-loop wire, thermal, etc.) you'll probably end up spending
twice the money as you would with comb binding. Both the machine and
supplies are so much cheaper. And, in a lengthy era of budget cutbacks
and falling profits, it's more important than ever before to save some
money.
Ease of use. Not everyone
has used a bookbinding machine before so it's always a good idea to get
one that's really user-friendly. Comb binding machines in particular are
really easy to use. So much so that sometimes a new user is able to
operate a device without any instruction. There are even some units that
have a step-by-step instruction guide printed right on the device.
These machines are so easy to use that everyone in your workplace will
be a pro in a matter of minutes.
Availability.
Plastic binding combs and machines have been around for quite a while
so they're not likely to go anywhere just yet. In fact, the supplies
needed for this document finishing method are very easy to find, so you
can get your supplies and put your books together in just a short amount
of time. You won't need to sit around waiting for your order to arrive
or drive around town trying to find the right comb - you can just grab
what you need and start working.
Variety.
One reason why comb binding is so popular is that there's a terrific
selection of combs and covers. Combs can be up to 2" thick and bind
documents containing more than 400 pages. There are a number of colors
to choose from as well. (You can even use GBC ZipBind covers with your
machine for a different look.) As far as covers go, you can use just
about any cover you want from plain cardstock to clear plastic,
holographic to regency. You can also bind documents smaller or larger
than letter-size (8.5" x 11") as long as your machine has an open
punching throat and disengageable dies.
Great results.
Documents bound with a comb binding machine look great and can be used
for business meetings, school assignments, marketing plans, and just
about anything else you can think of. Also, plastic combs allow the
books to lie flat which makes them easy to read. You can also re-open
the comb to edit the document if necessary.
These are five great reasons to choose plastic comb binding. It's
one of the most versatile bookbinding methods available and you'll find
it to be affordable and user-friendly. You'll be able to produce
documents for different needs quickly and in your own office. Consider
using plastic comb binding for your document finishing need so you can
get started.
