Book binding is still a widely used practice in organizing
literature and documentation, yet thanks to technology,
there are now new and more efficient ways to accomplish it.
With the current binding machines available on the market,
anyone can produce multiple pages of literature with one
desktop machine. However, since there are so many types of
book binding styles from which to choose, it depends upon
what presentation style you want to project for your
document. For businesses, presentation of reports,
articles, records, spreadsheets and various types of data
should not only be easily accessible, but must maintain a
professional image.
A binding machine binds the sheets of a document by
aligning the pages together, and depending on your chosen
binding style, you can have documents hole punched, glued
or held together by a form of wire or plastic holders.
Three types of popular binding machines to consider are
thermal, comb and wire binding. A thermal binding machine
uses heat and a special glue to create booklets. Documents
are placed into a pre-made thermal case cover, and then
into the binding slot. Then the binder heats glue strips to
the edge of the documents to a certain temperature. After
the glue cools, the documents are already bound into a
cover and the booklet is ready for use.
Comb binding machines are an inexpensive and innovative way
to bind creative presentations and documents. Comb bound
documents allow the document to "lay flat", and also has
the advantage of being rearranged. The plastic combs can
also be detached and reused. The basic principle behind a
comb binder is that the documents are actually aligned and
electronically hole punched together, and a plastic "comb"
is attached to the edge to bind the booklet together. These
allow a little more versatility, since there is more of a
variety of comb holders to use. You can also set a
different number of hole punches for the booklet style.
Lastly, the Wire binding machine works much like the comb
binder, and is widely recognized for its most common
use-notebooks. The wire binder uses a spiral loop holder to
run through multiple holes punched along the side of the
papers. Some times the machines will usually have a wire
closer, and come with the option of using either the Double
loop style, or a Spiral O style for wire binding. A Double
Loop has teeth that fit into each hole on the booklet, and
is usually made with metal wire. It's a sturdier than a
Spiral O, which uses a single spiral wire, that can be made
from either metal or plastic.
The need for equipment that can make your time more
productive to keep up with the constant demands of a busy
work schedule is essential. Binding machines make it easy
to create your own presentable and easily readable
documents right from your office.
