subject: Unibind Binding Machines And Supplies - An Introduction [print this page] When it comes to binding your documents, you have a lot of options available. From plastic comb to thermal binding, the options are almost limitless. However, if your office or organization needs an easy binding method that's also professional-looking, you should check out the lineup of Unibind machines. Unibind is a company that is based in Belgium and they manufacture both binding machines and supplies. This article will introduce you to the machines that Unibind produces and fill you in on what kind of supplies they make. That way you can decide if this is the best binding method for you.
* Unbind spines. The first thing you need to know about Unibind is that it is a thermal binding method. Unibind spines have a U-shaped steel component that gives your booklets a secure binding after the adhesive in the spine has stuck to the pages and then cooled. Unibind makes a wide range of spines and covers, ranging from the Steelbook hard covers that give your documents the look of a hardcover book to SteelCrystal covers that are great for reports and presentations. If you'd like to create your own covers, you can do so with Unibind Steelback spines, which allow you to get creative. And, if you want to preserve your memories or produce a book of photographs, Unibind Photobook supplies are worth a look. Unibind supplies are available in sizes up to 36mm and can handle as many as 360 sheets of paper.
* Unibind XU138. This is the most basic machine that Unibind makes. However, it is far more advanced than a lot of the other binding machines out there. With the XU138, you can bind up to eight documents at once. This machine has one binding and cooling element, so it is great for small volume users.
* Unibind XU238. If the XU138 doesn't have a big enough binding capacity for you, then the XU238 might be a good choice. It can bind up to 16 documents at once because it has two heating elements. It also requires no warm-up time so you can get straight to work.
* Unibind XU338 and XU638. These machines have larger binding capacities than the XU138 and XU268. The XU338 can bind up to 24 items at once and is a good choice for small and medium-sized offices. Meanwhile, the XU638 can bind up to 48, so it is great if you'll be using your machine frequently and need something with a large binding capacity. However, the XU638 lacks a cooling area, so if you get this machine, make sure you also get the Unibind BookStand so your documents have a place to cool off.
* Unibind ST1025. The Unibind ST1025 might just be the machine you're looking for if you need a reliable, professional binding machine for high volume applications. This unit has ten binding elements that let you simultaneously bind up to 50 documents. (There are nine cooling compartments.) This machine even has a built-in storage unit in which you can store up to 2400 binding covers. This system is an awesome choice if space is limited but you still want a machine that can bind a lot of documents quickly. The machine even has casters so it can be easily transported.
One of the best things about Unibind machines is that they are super easy to use. To bind with a Unibind machine, all you need to do is place your item in the machine. That's it. The machines are fully automated and provide a perfect bind every time. Now that you know all about Unibind, you can make an educated decision about whether this is the right binding method for you. Good luck and happy binding!
