Book Binding Machines

Binding is a way to bind pages together through various processes. It is a method wherein printed sheets are put together to form books, magazines, catalogs, folders or directories. It can be a valuable tool when creating a presentation or submitting any important documents. It is also a way to ensure that the documents are not assembled in a haphazard manner, and also helps in locating the documents easily whenever required.

In recent years the whole binding process has become more automated. It is not time-consuming, as the work can be finished just with the touch of a button, giving a quality output and also allowing for other adjustments to be done. These machines can run with little or no human help, and work with more efficiency and speed. A suitable binding method or machine can be chosen from the several methods currently offered, depending on the purpose of the document, need for durability, best appearance, and cost.

Some of the most popular kinds of binding methods and machines are comb, coil, wire binding (popularly known as spiral binding), thermal binding, stitched binding, perfect binding and case binding methods. There are a few machines that can be used for particular kinds of documents or binding process. Velobind is the best option for sleek, slim styling, and books that can lay flat for easy filing and mailing as it locks the pages together.

Double-loop binding machines make books that lay flat and wrap around for easy reading, adding a professional look to the documents. Plastic comb binding is the most popular form of binding, as these plastic combs are durable and can be re-used.
