A good comb binding machine is a must-have
device if you want to make your documents look professional. However, it
can be challenging to find one that will fit within a small work area.
Don't fret because they are out there. Here are three of them:
The Fellowes Star. The Star is a compact
comb binding machine that can help you quickly bind your documents. This
device has the ability to punch up to 10 sheets of paper at once and it
can bind work that contains up to 150 pages. The Star will work with
combs that are up to 3/4" in diameter and it has a comb selector so it's
easy to determine which one is best for your document. This machine has
some really great features that make it easy to use. For one thing, it
has a vertical punching mechanism and a rotary edge guide so you'll be
able to punch accurately placed holes in your paper. The punching handle
is on the right side of the device for easy access. This machine also
has a comb storage tray so you can keep your supplies in one place.
Also, the Star will fit just about anywhere because it has approximate
dimensions of 3" (height) x 18" (width) x 10" (depth). This device is
backed by a 2-year warranty.
The GBC CombBind C55. The
C55 is GBC's smallest comb binding device and it's great for both home
and office use. This device is lightweight (weighing in at a scant 8
pounds) and it has a built-in carrying handle so you can take it with
you. The C55 doesn't have especially good punching or binding
capacities: it can only punch 5 sheets per lift and bind books that are
up to 90 pages long. However, it's still a great device if you regularly
work with short documents. This machine features a rotary dial so you
can open combs and it has a contemporary look. Also, the C55 is
affordable so it's a good choice if you're on a budget. This machine
comes with a 1-year warranty.
The Akies OffiBind.
Akiles is known for making durable binding equipment and the OffiBind
is definitely sturdy so you can get a lot of use out of it. This is also
the most versatile machine on this list for a couple of reasons. First,
it can handle combs that are up to 2" in diameter so you can bind work
that's up to 425 pages long. Second, this device has an open punching
throat and three disengageable dies so you can work with paper of
varying sizes. (The Star and C55 will only work with letter-sized
paper.) And don't forget that the OffiBind is nice and compact, so you
can have a powerful comb binding machine without needing to give up a
lot of space. The OffiBind is also affordably priced and its warranty
lasts for 1 year.
All three of these comb binding machines are perfect for small
work areas and they're good for various needs. Take a look at these
devices today to see which one if right for you.
