subject: Great Binding Options From Gbc [print this page] General Binding Corporation is an office product kingpin and with good reason. The company's been in business since the 1940's and it really offers some of the best, most reliable, and innovative binding systems available in North America. Here's a quick look at what document finishing options are available for your office from GBC.
* Plastic combs. This is one of the most commonly used binding methods because it's affordable, easy, and it can bind documents containing more than 400 pages. GBC manufactures both the combs and machines needed to utilize this method. Some of the best devices available for this type of binding are the CombBind C430 and the C800pro.
* Twin-loop wire. If your documents really need to look professional, twin-loop wire spines are a great choice. It's an attractive method that's frequently used by marketing firms, publishers, and so on. GBC makes hole punches and wire closers such as the powerful TL2900 that can help you bind with wire and produce fantastic-looking books.
* Color coil. Want a little color in your world? Use color coil spines. These materials are available in just about every hue you could ever want, from basic black to fuchsia, gray to gold. They can also bind up to an incredible 440 pages. Devices such as the CC2700 can help you give your documents that extra splash of color they need. The company even makes coil crimpers so you can finish off your work perfectly.
* Velobind and SureBind. This method is what you should use when your documents require a strong bond but you still want to be able to edit them later. You can also use it if you want a totally permanent bond. Velobind strips can bind documents that are more than 2 inches thick, making this a great method for those lengthy reports and proposals. GBC has a great lineup of Velobind and SureBind machines to choose from if this method interests you.
* ProClick and ZipBind spines. Both of these two types of spines will not only add a touch of class to your document, it will allow you to make changes to it later. That's because they can be re-opened at a later time. Most GBC comb binding machines are compatible with ZipBind spines because the spines require the same 19-hole punching pattern used when working with combs. However, there's a whole series of ProClick equipment available, including the powerful Pronto P3000 that can bind a 100-page book in just 6 seconds. ProClick spines can even be used by hand, making them very versatile.
* Paper and covers. Finally, GBC has a wonderful selection of paper and covers you can use to give your document the great look it deserves. Some of the paper is even pre-punched so you can use it immediately with your CombBind or VeloBind machine. Also, depending on the cover you need, chances are GBC makes it. They have a vast array of covers including ones that are opaque, translucent, customizable, and so on. There are even thermal binding covers available.
General Binding Corporation really lives up to its name. The company not only offers an incredibly large amount of document finishing devices, it even makes the supplies you'll need to get the job done. To make your documents look great, why not take advantage of what GBC has to offer?
