Paper is for reading and electronic documents are for scanning. If you want people to read your proposal, a paper document prepared through a binding machine may be best.
Today, the digital landscape provides a means for efficient business communications. However, concerning business proposals, a paper copy is still an easier read. Focus on providing a print document that serves your customers - and sales process - effectively.

They don't have to scan a computer screen, which tires the eyes faster. The following are types of binding machines you can use to create a first-rate bound proposal.
