There are various kinds of binding machines suitable for different kinds of binding currently on the market. It is important to select the style of binding machine that suits the requirements. Different types of binding machines include comb, coil, velobind, tape, and double loop wire, thermal binding and padding.
Since each method of binding provides a different looking document as the end product, it is important to decide on the look of the document before buying a machine. Also, check the amount of binding that would be done per day. A smaller volume binder is enough for only a few books a day, while an electric punch may be used if the volume of the books bound per day is extremely high.
The least expensive is the plastic comb binding as compared to other kinds of binding. However, double loop binding provides a professional look in the end product. Also, plastic comb binding is the most popular forms of binding since the plastic combs used in the binder are extremely durable and also can be re-used. Double loop binders can be used if the documents are to lay flat and wrap around for easy reading. In double loop binding, the pages are bound securely so they won’t fall. Hence, it is important to consider things as such when purchasing a binding machine.
Another popular type of binding is the coil binding. This involves a coil that is a continuous PVC filament formed into the shape of a spring. Coil binding is otherwise popularly known as the spiral binding. Some binders also produce a combination of comb and wire binding. Such machines are known as the combination binding machines.
For sleek, slim styling, books that can lay flat for easy filing and mailing, velobind is the best option, as velobind practically locks the pages together. Perfect binding can be used for low-volume pad binding or a low-volume bookbinding. Perfect binders use hot glue to bind the papers together.
