Fed up with unwieldy ring binders, stapled documents or clumsy wirebound books?

The Bindomatic Document Finishing systems will give you a sleek, flat professional binding with many attractive options.

Presentation

 

They say "Don't judge the book by its cover" but everybody does.

The Bindomatic Binding System leaves you to concentrate on the content and after all, that is your expertise, isn't it?

 

 

Convenience

 

Your Bindomatic system is always ready to use and don't need any setup or special preparations to do its job.

Just insert your freshly printed document into a Bindomatic cover, put it in the machine, wait for the beep and it is done.

The Bindomatic process is free of mess, and is quick and easy for your operators to use. Punch-binding is a much slower process which creates paper waste as a result of the punching operation.

 

 

Accuracy

 

Here are some of the reasons why Bindomatic covers are so strong.

1. The thickness of the solid adhesive is uniform the entire length of the spine and the cover is scored four times.

2. The longitudinal edges of the adhesive are attached to the cover ensuring that all papers melt into the adhesive.

3. Our covers are the first pre-folded thermal covers in the world. The covers are folded back on themselves during the production process so that the bound document hinges open the first time on the outer scoring line.

4. Use of 100% Cotton Bookbinding cloth. Laminated with the adhesive, on the top of the strip. During the binding process, the cloth reinforcement flows into the adhesive. After cooling, the cloth, the adhesive, and the cover stock fuse together to form a superior spine.

5. The new scoring method produces a sharper, bookline spine that improves the appearance of the bound document.

6. During the binding process, the cover "squeeze" the paper at the outer scoring lines which further improves the appearance of the bound document.

 

 

Speed

 

It takes only about 60 seconds to bind one or several documents on a Bindomatic thermal binding system, regardless of the thickness of the document! In contrast, a 'punch-bound' document must first be punched in sections small enough to fit into the punch machine, then manually fed onto a plastic or wire comb. The thicker the document, the more time it takes to bind. In addition, thermal binding allows several documents to be bound simultaneously, thereby making a dramatic saving in staff time and cost. Again in contrast, punch-binding is a labour intensive operation where each document has to be bound individually, thereby dramatically increasing staff time and cost.

A simple example of this would be a binding exercise involving 12 documents of 30 pages each. With a punch-binding time estimated at 2.5 minutes per document, the time saving would be as follows:

Punch-binding
12 documents x 2.5 minutes/document = 30 minutes total binding time

Bindomatic
12 documents bound simultaneously = 1 minute total binding time

If this were a daily exercise, the savings over 12 months would be 7,540 minutes!

 

 

Editing

 

Editing Bindomatic documents is a very simple process.

This makes the process particularly well suited to reference books, where pages containing dated information need to be replaced.
