subject: Five Great Things About Unibind Binding [print this page] If you've never heard of Unibind before, there's a lot you should know about it. This is a very popular, elegant thermal binding method in which you place your document inside a special cover before placing it on the machine. One it's placed on the machine, the steel in the cover's spine will be activated and melt the glue, creating a strong bind. It's one of the most innovative binding methods currently available and it can be used to create beautiful, eye-catching documents. Here are five great things about this binding method...
1.) Your choice of covers. One of the best things about Unibind is the sheer variety of supplies available. There are several types of covers you can use depending on your needs. For starters, there's something called the Steelback spine. This spine allows you to create your own customized covers. Then there's the Steelbook hardcovers which will make your document look like a professional hardbound book. Photobooks can be used to create your own photo albums and other creative documents such as artists' portfolios. And there are even more covers you can choose from. These supplies can bind books that contain over 300 pages and there are different colors and sizes available including letter-sized (8.5" x 11") and half-letter (5.5" x 8.5"). If you want, you can even order customized covers that display your company's name, logo, and/or colors. (Just be aware that it can take upwards of three months to get your customized supplies because they come from the company's headquarters in Belgium.)
2.) It's fast. Unibind is one of the fastest document finishing methods you can use and not just because the machines only take about 90 seconds to warm up. It's possible to completely bind your work in less than a minute, no matter how thick it is. Also, you don't need to punch your paper before binding your book, so this is one method that can help you save time while also giving you great results.
3.) You can bind multiple documents at once. Another great thing about this type of binding method is that it's one of the few around that will allow you to bind more than one document at a time. For example, the smallest Unibind machine, the XU138, can bind eight books at once. However, the largest device, the ST1025, can bind up to 50. And what's really amazing is that whether you're binding one book or dozens, it will take the same amount of time.
4.) You can edit your documents. There aren't a lot of binding methods that allow you to edit your work at a later date, but Unibind does. Plus, it's incredibly easy. You just need to place the book back on the machine, wait for the glue to reactivate, and then add or subtract pages as necessary.
5.) It looks great. Finally, the best thing about Unibind is that it will make all of your documents look fantastic, especially if you use one of the hardback covers, such as a Steelback. Everyone will be impressed by your work and you'll be able to take pride in it.
Unibind is very popular and after reading this list, it should be easy to why. This method is fast, easy, very innovative, and it will make your documents look their best. So start binding with Unibind today!
