subject: Five Great Things About Thermal Binding [print this page] When it comes to document finishing, thermal binding is literally one of the hottest methods you can use. You may be wondering what makes this type of bookbinding so great. If so, continue reading to discover five great things about this wonderful method.
1.) It's fast. Thermal binding is really one of the fastest document finishing methods available. Unlike with plastic comb or wire/coil binding, you don't need to punch your paper nor do you need to insert any combs, wires, or coils. You can simply print your document, drop the pages into the appropriate pre-made cover, and place your book on or in the machine. Within seconds, you'll have a perfectly bound book.
2.) It's easy. Although the idea of working with heat might seem a bit intimidating, thermal binding is actually very easy to do. As alluded to above, it's as easy as insetting your document into your machine and then letting the book cool off. You don't need to punch anything, fight with wire spines, or struggle with plastic combs. Even if you've never made a book before, you'll be able to master the art of bookbinding in just a few minutes. That's how easy this method can be.
3.) It's clean. No one likes to clean up a mess and some of the other current bookbinding methods can really turn your office into a disaster area. From minuscule paper bits to pieces of plastic combs and color coils that result from trimming down your supplies, other document finishing methods can be quite messy. Thermal binding is totally clean thanks to its lack of paper punching and spine trimming. You won't even come into contact with the adhesive in your cover's spine. So not only will your office be clean, you won't wind up with sticky fingers either.
4.) It's elegant. This method really lends itself to the creation of some truly professional-looking documents. Every time you use a thermal binding machine, you'll end up with a perfectly bound book that can have either a hard or soft cover. These covers come in a wide variety of colors and finishes, and some even have windows so you can create great-looking sales reports, marketing proposals, and more. You can even create your own photo albums, as well as make your own covers so your documents can look just as you imagined them.
5.) It's innovative. Finally, one of the great things about thermal binding is the incredible selection of innovative machines that are available. There are a number of manufacturers that produce great machines including ProBind and Fellowes. In fact, Fellowes recently released two new thermal products: the Helios 30 and Helios 60. These are state-of-the-art devices that will impress everyone because they look great and work quickly. Also, Unibind is definitely the premier manufacturer of thermal devices.
