If your office is considering binding documents, reports, briefs and proposals you will need to select a binding system. Although there are many different binding systems available on the market, one of the most professional binding systems is called Velobind. This article provides a quick overview of six reasons to consider using Velobind to bind documents for your office. Here they are?
1. Tamper Safe Security: Velobind hot knife binding is by far the most secure binding available on the market. The Velobind binding machine actually takes the binding strip and rivets in place melting the plastic pins into the back of the receiving strip. In order to remove pages from a document bound with Velobind you actually have to cut binding strip apart using a razor blade tool. Without an expensive machine to rebind the document users can not edit the document without it being very obvious. For this reason many lawyers and government offices choose Velobind hot knife systems to bind their briefs and sensitive documents.
2. Copy Safe Design: Unlike other punch and bind systems, documents bound with Velobind will not open flat on a desk or table. This is an important feature for documents that are of a sensitive nature and should not be photocopied. The design of Velobind allows documents to be easily read. However, pages from the document are difficult to copy using a photocopier since it is difficult to lay them flat on the scanner. When you combine this feature with the tamper safe design of Velobind, no other binding system is more secure.
3. Professional Appearance: Documents bound with Velobind offer a clean professional appearance unlike any other binding style on the market. The Velobind binding strips run along the spine of your document neatly framing the spine of the document while concealing any evidence of the holes punched in the document.
4. Durability: Velobind is one of the most durable binding styles available on the market. This binding style offers a completely flat design that makes sending documents through the mail a breeze. Additionally, documents bound with Velobind will not be damaged if something heavy is set on them. The binding spines on documents bound with comb binding, wire binding and spiral binding can become deformed if compressed. Velobind does not have this problem.
5. Document Sizing: Using a Velobind system three it is possible to bind documents as thick as 3 inches (approximately 750 sheets). This makes Velobind the only binding system capable of binding documents over 2 inches. For companies that bind extremely large documents, reports or briefs this makes Velobind a natural choice. Velobind binding strips are also available in a number of different lengths for binding landscape documents, letter size documents and Iegal size documents.
6. Supply Cost Savings: One of the main benefits of owning a Velobind binding system is the limited supply inventory that is required for this binding style. Unlike other binding styles which require a separate box of binding supplies for every size of document that you intend to bind, Velobind binding spines come in just three thicknesses. One spine binds documents up to 1 inch, another up to two inches and a third is designed to bind documents up to 3 inches. This means that companies can save both money and space traditionally taken up by binding supplies.
Choosing the right binding system to fit the needs of your organization can be a very difficult task. There are almost a dozen different binding styles available on the market all with their individual strengths. However, one of the most popular binding styles available today is spiral coil binding and it is growing in popularity every year. This article provides six reasons why companies choose spiral coil for their reports, presentations and proposals. Here they are?
1. Flexibility: Spiral coil binding is literally the most flexible binding system available on the market. The flexibility and ability for the spiral coils to remember their shape make it an ideal solution for documents that will be frequently handled or sent through the mail. Twin loop wire elements can become deformed and plastic comb elements can crack or break if bent or crushed. Documents bound with color coil elements do not have either of these problems.
2. Rotation: Spiral coil bound documents allow users to lay documents completely flat on a table or rotate pages 360 degrees for easy copying and note taking. This feature makes spiral coil a popular choice for binding notebooks, calendars and training manuals.
3. Color Choices: Spiral coil binding spines are sometimes called ?color coil? because of the variety of available coil colors. Spiral coil is currently available in more than sixty colors making it possible to match coil to almost any company logo or color scheme. The huge variety of specialty colors makes spiral coil a popular choice for graphic designers, schools and for scrapbooking.
4. Length: Spiral coil is one of the only binding options available in custom lengths without incurring significant costs. Both plastic combs and twin loop wire are available in longer or shorter lengths. However, these options have to be custom made and cost significantly more than standard elements. Spiral coil can be ordered in longer or shorter lengths without incurring custom order charges. In fact the cost per inch for custom sizes of coil does not generally change when ordering custom lengths.
5. Available Sizes: Spiral coil binding spines are available in sizes ranging from 6mm up to 50mm. This means that coil can be used for documents that are as small as a few pages and for documents up to 450 pages thick. Although all of these sizes are available it is important to note that large size coils are somewhat difficult to work with (picture trying to put a slinky on the edge of a book). Spiral coil is much easier to use with books that are less than 1 inch thick.
6. Cost: Spiral coil binding elements tend to be inexpensive. This is especially true of smaller diameter coils which start at less than five cents per spine. Specialty colors of spiral coil can sometime cost a little bit more than the standard colors. Still, the cost per book for spiral binding is one of the lowest of all available binding styles.
Together, these six points provide a compelling case for choosing spiral coil binding to assemble your documents, reports, presentations and proposals. If you are looking for a binding system or are exploring the different binding styles available on the market, spiral coil binding is certainly worth taking a look at.
