Wire/Comb Binding (Manual) | Office documents, presentations, reports | Manual operation (no electricity required) ▲ 120 sheets capacity (exceeds industry standard 100 sheets) ▲ Adjustable spine width (0.25" to 1") | Cost-effective, portable, produces professional results. ISO 9001 certified durability (plastic/metal construction). | Labor-intensive, slower binding. Limited to wire/comb binding only. |
Thermal Binding | Thick manuals, books, archival docs | Thermal adhesive (ASTM D638 strength) 100 sheets capacity Automatic feed system (reduces manual labor) | Neat, professional finish. Versatile spine colors (e.g., black, white). | Requires heat source (120V power). Setup time: 5–10 minutes per job. |
Coil Binding | Reports needing 360° rotation | Spiral coil (1/2" to 1.5" spine) 200 sheets capacity (ISO 8302 pre-punched alignment) | Flexible, durable binding. 360° page rotation (ideal for manuals). | Expensive coils. Bulky spine may complicate storage. Requires pre-punched pages. |
Staple Binding | Thin documents, temporary use | Heavy-duty staples (ASTM F2213 compliant) 50 sheets capacity Quick operation (10 seconds/document) | Inexpensive, ultra-fast. No pre-punching required. | Not professional-grade. Pages can separate over time. |
Electric Binding | High-volume offices, frequent use | Electric motor (120V power) 150 sheets capacity 30% faster binding vs manual ▲▲ | Reduces operator fatigue. High throughput (ideal for bulk jobs). | Higher upfront cost. Requires power source. Noisier operation (43 dBA). |
Manual Punch | Pre-punching for other binders | Adjustable hole positions (0.25" spacing) 20 sheets capacity ISO 5350 precision alignment | Versatile for multiple binding types. Low cost (under $50). | Laborious for large volumes. Requires coordination with other binders. |
