Why should I Use Pre-Punched Paper?One of the more time-consuming parts of the binding process is punching the pages of your document, especially if your punch can only handle a few sheets at a time. However, did you know you can save a lot of time – and a bit of money – by using pre-punched paper? You can and chances are, there’s paper that’s perfect for your particular binding device. Here are five reasons to use this type of binding supply.1.) To save time. Saving time is a priority for most people especially if you have a heavy workload. If your workday is already busy, taking the time to punch a lot of pages for a bound document can be a nuisance. Using pre-punched sheets can solve that problem for you. You can run it through your inkjet or laser printer as well as your photocopier, so your pages will be ready to bind much more quickly. That way you can move on to other projects and not get hung up in the binding process.2.) To save money. It’s totally possible to save some cash by using pre-punched paper. For one thing, if you own a standalone binding device such as a plastic comb opener or a GBC ZipBind spine closer, you won’t need to purchase a hole punch, let alone an entire binding machine. That can save you hundreds of dollars right there. Also, these supplies are perfectly punched so you won’t have to throw out any pages that weren’t punched properly.3.) There’s paper for just about every binding method. There are a lot of pre-punched supplies available, so there’s probably some to use with your machine whether it utilizesplastic combs, twin-loop wire, color coils, or ZipBind spines. If you’re using a wire binding device, there are sheets that can be used with both 2:1 and 3:1 pitch machines. There are also supplies that have been pre-punched for use with VeloBind devices and three-ring binders.4.) Choose the best size and color for your document. Another great thing about pre-punched paper is that it comes in a variety of sizes and colors. Available sizes include standard letter-size (8.5″ x 11″), half-letter (8.5″ x 5.5″), and legal-size (8.5 x 14″), as well as 11 x 17″ and A4. As for colors, just about every shade in the rainbow is represented. Whether you like blue, purple, pink, yellow, green, or gray, you’ll find just the right color for your document.5.) Get the right weight. Finally, this type of paper comes in numerous weights. The most common is 20 lb. bond, which is the weight usually used for everyday printing and copying. Heavier weights such as 28 lb. and 32 lb. are also available, and are great for when you want your pages to be a bit more durable. You could also use the thicker weight sheets as covers for your documents, although there are pre-punched covers you can also purchase. (And, honestly, they’ll make your document look a lot better.)Now that you have five reasons for using pre-punched paper, can you imagine going back to punching your pages yourself? We didn’t think so. Get some pre-punched paper now and get ready to save time and money while also producing beautiful books!

Do you have a glossary of coil binding terms?Coil binding is a popular document finishing method that can be used for reports, proposals, anthologies, and more. In order to bind with coils, it’s usually necessary to use a coil binding machine. There is a lot of terminology associated with these machines, so it’s a good idea to become familiar with it before you try binding your documents. Here are the main terms you should know: Binding capacity. Nearly every type of binding machine has a specific binding capacity. This refers to the maximum number of pages each document can have. So if your coil binding machine has a 200-page capacity, that means your documents can be up to 200 pages long.  Coils. Coils are plastic binding implements that can be used with books containing 440 pages or less. These supplies are sometimes referred to as “color coils” because they are available in dozens of colors. Most coils are 12” long, which makes them suitable for letter-sized documents. Coil inserter. A coil inserter is a machine that’s designed to insert coils into your documents. These machines don’t usually come with a punching mechanism, so you’ll either need a modular binding machine or pre-punched paper. Crimping pliers. Crimping pliers look just like a regular pair of pliers. They’re used at the end of the binding process to trim and curl the coil. This helps secure the binding so the coil won’t spin out of your document. Some coil binding machines come with crimping pliers and they can also be purchased separately. Disengageable dies. Some coil binding machines and punches come with disengageable dies. These dies can be engaged (or disengaged) so you can produce different hole patterns for various sizes of paper. Machines with disengageable dies usually have an open punching throat to accommodate different sizes of paper.

How do I bind a document using spiral coil binding?Spiral coil binding (also known as Color coil or plastic coil binding) is one of the most popular and fastest growing of all coil binding styles. Documents bound with spiral coils lay flat and the pages can turn 360 degrees around the flexible PVC coil spine. Coil binding is fast and easy and offers a wide variety of colors to choose from.1.Select the proper size of color coil binding elementAs with other coil binding styles, your provider of coil bindings should be able to give you suggestions for the appropriate size of coil binding to match your document.It is important to not use a coil binding that is too small for your document as production time, appearance, and the functionality of the document will be greatly affected.Appearance is always a good indicator of the fit of the coil binding.Coil binding is also available in a variety of pitches; make sure to match your coil binding to your punch.Most common pitch for coil binding is 4:1 (or 4 holes per inch)Also available is 5:1 and 6mm, 3:1 is a much less common size2.Starting the Color Coil BindingMany coil binding machines have a spine forming channel, this is a useful feature to help create the contours of the coil binding and aid in the initial insertion of the coil bindingBegin to spin the coil binding onto the punched document by hand. It is a good idea to spin the coil binding on at least an inch.After the coil binding is started, hold the coil binding by the rubber rollers. Apply gentle pressure to the coil binding against the roller.3.Crimping the coil binding elementWhen the coil binding is spun onto the document, the excess coil binding needs to be cut and crimped using coil binding cut and crimp pliers.When using the cut/crimp pliers, always use them in your right hand with your thumb next to the red dot.Make sure that the prongs on the cut/crimp pliers are in contact with the coil binding and squeeze.This will cut of the excess coil binding and fold the coil binding over to keep it from uncoiling.Trouble shooting:Coil binding not inserting into documentMake sure that the pitch of the coil binding matches the pitch of the holes.Coil binding too small for document.Large diameter coil bindings (such as 1 ¼” and above) are difficult to insert in the best of conditions. Try an oval hole punch.Coil binding not folding over when cutMake sure that the coil bindings are in your right hand with the dot facing up. If not, the pliers will cut and crimp the section of coil binding that you want to cut off!Make sure that both of the prongs of the cut/crimp pliers make contact with the coil binding. This can be somewhat difficult on 6mm and 7mm coil bindings due to the small diameter.Notes and suggestions:Auto cutter/crimpers are available in single or double configurations. They can be tedious to set up, but save a lot of time for longer production runs.If possible, do not use coil bindings for documents over 1 ¼” thick. The document does not function the way that coil binding is intended to. The increased thickness of the coil binding and the weight of the book cause the pages not turn as freely.Another common configuration of a coil binding inserter is a wheel. The wheel can be faster for experienced users, but it is more difficult to learn. Smaller volume users typically have more success with the roller style of inserter.Coil binding is sold by the inch, so it is possible to get coil binding in 9” lengths for top spines and eliminate waste, or 18” lengths for 11 x 17 documents. Coil binding is the best method of binding when you have non-standard spine size needs.Coil binding is available in over 60 colors, by far the most of any binding style.

What features should I look for when buying a coil binding machine?Spiral coil binding is one of the most popular binding styles available on the market. The flexibility along with the huge number of colors that are offered in coil binding supplies make it a favorite binding style for all types of organizations. Perhaps you have seen coil binding somewhere in the workplace and are considering it for your organization. More than likely, it will be an excellent choice for your needs. However, here are six things that you need to know before you rush out and buy a coil binding machine:1.Although coil binding supplies come in diameters up to 50mm for books that are as thick as 2”, spiral coil binding documents that are larger than 1” can be very difficult. Binding books with large size coil is somewhat like trying to put a slinky on the edge of a book. In addition to the coil being very large and difficult to handle, the spine of the book will also have to be curved so that the path for the coil is rounded to match the diameter of the coil. This can be pretty tricky and time consuming if you don’t have special tools for inserting the coil.2.Almost all spiral coil on the market are designed for a 4:1 pitch coil binding machine. This simply means that the hole pattern used has 4 holes per inch. Coil is also available for 3:1 pitch binding patterns and 5:1 patterns but is not nearly as common. Generally, it is best to stick to the standard 4:1 pitch hole pattern unless you have a compelling reason to use a different pattern. Most coil binding machines punch round holes for the documents. However, some coil binding machines punch oversized oval holes to make inserting larger coils easier.3.Spiral coil is available in almost any length imaginable up to 36” in length. This makes it the ideal choice for binding large size documents. If you are planning on using coil to bind large size documents you will need to make sure that you coil binding machine has an open throat and preferably fully disengageable dies. This will allow you to set your machine up to make sure that you don’t have a half hole hanging off the edge of your paper.4.Standard spiral coil binding supplies come in 12” lengths for 11” documents. The extra length is cut off during the coil crimping process. If you plan on binding documents that are shorter or longer than 11”, you want to give yourself at least a half inch and preferably an inch to make sure that you have enough coil to cut off during the crimping process.5.You will notice that many spiral coil binding machines have a set of rollers on the front or the top of them. These rollers are used to help spin the coil through the holes on the edge of the document. True manual binding machines that do not have these rollers require you to spin the coil onto the book by hand. For short runs, this shouldn’t be a problem. However, for higher volume applications spinning the coil onto the book could become very tedious. For this reason, it is usually best to buy a machine with an integrated coil inserter or buy a standalone inserter to go along with your punch.6.In order to make sure that the coil doesn’t spin back off your documents after they are bound you will need to crimp the ends of the coil. A special pair of coil crimper pliers is usually used to cut off the end of the coil and bend over the end of the coil so that it won’t spin off the book. Using the pliers can be a little bit tricky and take some practice. Keep in mind that the red dot on the crimpers is designed to face up towards the ceiling and you should be able to get the hang of it. If you do it right, the end will be bent over. If you do it wrong, you will simply cut the coil off.

What should I know about Spiral Coil Binding?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. 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. 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. The cost per book for spiral binding is one of the lowest of all available binding styles.

How can I make a spiral notebook without a machine?Who needs an expensive binding machine? If you are doing a small number of documents, you can easily get away with doing the binding by hand. Here are a few tips on how to make a spiral bound book without a machine.1. Why Spiral Coil? The first thing you will have to decide when you are doing your own machineless spiral coil binding is if spiral coil is truly the way you want to go. Spiral coil has a lot of advantages, such as the books you bind in this style can wrap around completely, which is great for functionality. These types of books are also very durable, utilizing as they do (in most cases) four holes per inch of paper, with a spine that winds through all of the pages. This help to ensure that pages won’t tear from your documents, and if you add a laminated cover and or pages, you are looking at a booklet that will stand the test of time and that can be handled by a lot of people and stay together. This is why you often see large and busy restaurants using the spiral coil system for their menus.2. What Type Of Coil? In general, you will have much better luck using plastic coils rather than the metal types that you often see in school notebooks. When you start looking around at different spines, you will notice that there are a few different types out there. For one, there is the standard plastic coil that wither can be inserted by hand or by a machine. If you go this route, make note that you will be a lot more successful if you purchase some crimping pliers to make sure that your spine stays put. Winding the spine by hand is certainly doable, but if you value your sanity, you don’t want to find yourself hand-winding a large number of books. GBC makes what is called the Proclick spine, which can be found in several different colors and sizes, and importantly, can be easily reopened and closed if you need to take pages out and replace them. GBC also provides a system they call ZipBind, which are fairly similar to ProClick in that they are also easily editable. Last but not least, there is a company called Komtrak that makes what they call the Inspiral Info-Bind that easily winds through properly punched paper and features a plastic clip that goes in the end of the coil binding spine and makes sure that the spine stays in place and makes the booklet easily editable as well.3. What Kind of Paper? If you are truly committed to machineless binding, you will have to find paper that has already been punched in the style of binding that you have chosen. If you are using a standard size coil, you will want to order paper that had been punched in a 4:1 pitch ratio. This is what you will find the most readily available, and you may even be able to find reams of this type of paper at your local office supply store. Some of the other styles mentioned above use paper that has been punched in different, sometimes proprietary styles. Just make sure that your hole pattern matches the pine you are using, and the rest is cake.

How do I use my coil crimpers?Coil binding is a great way to bind your documents and make them look professional. Punching holes in your document and inserting the coils is easy. Some people do however have trouble with the final part of the process: crimping the coil. Crimping entails trimming the ends of the coil and turning the ends in so the coil won’t spin out of your book. Doing this can be tricky so here are a few tips that can make it easier: 1.Your crimpers will have a dot on one side(often red). You need to make sure that the dot is always facing up. If you try using them and the dot is facing down, you’ll just end up cutting the coil and not crimping it.2.Hold your book so that it’s parallel to the floor and ensure that the coil is facing you. Begin by crimping the right side of the coil as close to the edge of your document as possible. You should give the crimpers an additional squeeze to ensure that the coil is completely bent over.3.Now you can flip the document over and crimp the other end of the coil. Flippping the book over is necessary because you need to make sure that the end of the coil is turned in, not out.

What Coil Binding Supplies should I have?1.Color coils. Obviously to use your new device you’re going to need some binding elements. Color coils come in many different lengths with the most common ones being 11” long for letter-sized documents. You can choose from a number of different thicknesses ranging from 6 to 50 millimeters. (The thickest ones can bind documents that are more than 400 pages long.) These supplies also come in dozens of colors including some fun hues such as neon green and electric blue.2.Coil crimpers. One item you must have to successfully bind your documents with your new machine is a coil crimper. A crimper can either be handheld or a machine, but you need one to trim and turn up the ends of the coil so your book will stay bound. (It should be said that there are also crimpers that are an integrated part of some machines.) If you choose to get the handheld variety, you might find them difficult to use at first, but you’ll get the hang of it pretty quickly.3.A selection of covers. Your documents are going to need covers if you want them to interest readers. (They’ll also help protect your documents.) You’ll find that there are a lot of different types of covers on the market including ones that are holographic, feel like leather, and so on. Some of the most popular are made from clear plastic so you can display a customized title page. And if you’re environmentally conscious, there are recycled covers available. A lot of covers can be punched with your binding machine to make everything easier.4.A binding workstation. Some of the binding machines you can buy these days are pretty large. If you bought one of them, you might discover that you don’t have enough space for it on a counter, table, or desk. Or maybe you want to be able to roll the machine out of the way when you’re not using it. If so, a binding workstation is a great solution. These workstations are often outfitted with casters and they provide space for your device. There’s often storage area for your supplies as well.

What supplies do I need to bind my documents with comb bindings?Plastic comb binding is easy, affordable, and it can help you produce great-looking documents. However, before you can use this binding method, you’re going to need to have some things to get started. Check out what you need to start binding with plastic combs.Paper. One of the most important things you need to get started with plastic comb binding is your paper. Chances are you’ll be using 8.5” x 11” (letter-size) paper for your document which is just fine. Most of the available machines can handle this size. You can use white 20 lb. bond or you could used colored paper. If you want to use different sizes of paper, such as legal-size (8.5” x 14”) make sure your machine can handle it. (We’ll talk about binding machines in a moment.) If you want to save time, you can purchase sheets that have been punched for use with comb binding machines.Covers. Using the right covers is an important part of producing a professional-looking document. For one document, you’ll need a front and back cover. There are many different types of covers to choose from including leatherette, regency, recycled poly, and even holographic ones if you want to give your work a unique look. Covers come in a variety of thicknesses and colors such as black, red, blue, and so on. Clear covers are particularly helpful because readers will be able to see the title of your document. They also look great.Binding combs. If you’re going to use a bookbinding machine, you’re definitely going to need plastic binding combs. As you’re probably aware, most combs are about 12” long for use with letter-sized documents. The combs come in different thicknesses so you can bind short and long documents. (The thickest combs can bind up to 425 pages.) Different colors are available as well. There are some combs that are made for use with legal- and half-sized sheets if you want to avoid using letter-sized paper. However, if you want to work with those combs, you need to look for a machine with a couple of special features. Which brings us to….The machine. Finally, you’re going to need to select a machine. The most basic elements of a device are the paper punch, comb opener, punching handle, and punching dies. Most machines can handle letter-sized paper. That said, you should look for a machine with disagreeable punching dies and an open throat so you can work with different sizes of paper. Some optional features that can make your job easier include a comb selector, adjustable depth of punch settings, and so on. Make sure you check out the device’s punching and bookbinding capacities before buying anything. You want to make sure you get a machine that can work with your supplies.

What colors of plastic combs are available?For a long time, plastic comb binding were available into only two colors: black and white. While this made it easy for people to decide which comb they would use to bind their work, it also meant that documents were missing that finishing touch. Unless your company logo is black and/or white, you couldn’t choose a comb color that would complement it. Luckily, that has changed and combs are now available in a number of different colors. MyBinding.com is proud to stock combs in the following colors: navy blue, maroon, brown, royal blue, red, green, gray, yellow, hunter green, and steel blue. We also carry clear plastic combs which pair nicely with clear binding covers. Our combs are generally available in diameters ranging from 3/16” to 2”, so you can bind work that’s up to 425 pages long. Most of the combs are 11” long so they can be used with letter-sized paper.We also offer custom imprinting on our plastic combs. Imprinting allows you to display whatever you want on a comb: your company name, the title of your document, etc. If you’re interested in ordering some custom combs, just let us know. We can be reached at 1-800-944-4573 and sales@mybinding.com. We are more than happy to offer you a free quote.

Can I use wire with my comb binding machine?Over the years, a number of customers have asked me whether they can use twin loop wire with their plastic comb binding machine. These customers often don’t want to have to buy a brand new machine but like the look and feel of twin loop wire binding. However, the answer to their question isn’t as simple as it seems. You see, they actually do make twin loop wire that is designed to work with the plastic comb binding hole pattern. With that said, if you want to use these wires you are going to need a way to close the wires. Let me explain a little bit more…There is a product that we carry called Spiral-O Wire. This wire has 19 loops and is designed to work with the hole pattern from a plastic comb binding machine. Spiral-O Wire is sometimes called Wire Combs or Ibico Wire and was originally designed for use with some of the older Ibico binding machines. A number of the older Ibico plastic comb binding machines also included a twin loop wire closer on the front of them to allow users to use both plastic combs and wire. This 19 loop wire was designed for this purpose.As the Ibico brand has been phased out by GBC and all of the older Ibico plastic binding machines have been replaced with new models, they no longer have the twin loop wire closer on the front of them. This presents a problem in trying to use these spiral-o wires since you can’t use the wires without a way to close them. The only option left is to purchase a Twin Loop wire closer. However, since twin loop wire closers are not incredibly cheap this option usually only appeals to users who have larger electric plastic comb binding machines. Otherwise, it is often advisable to simply buy a low end 3:1 pitch twin loop wire binding machine (the supplies are cheaper).This being said, if you have one of the older Ibico binding machines that has a wire closer included you are in luck. The Spiral-O binding supplies that we carry will work perfectly with your machine and you will be able to use both plastic combs and wire depending on your needs. These Spiral-O binding supplies are available in Black, Silver, White, Blue and Red and in sizes up to 1″ in diameter.If you aren’t sure what type of wire binding supplies that you need to work with your machine simply give us a call. Our trained sales representatives will be glad to help you find the correct supplies for use with your machine.

What is Metal Wire Binding?What is Metal Wire Binding? Metal Wire Binding or spiral binding uses a spring like spiral or wire to bind your documents together. Books that have been metal wire bound can be opened with a 360 degree rotation. We have metal wire bound supplies available in a range of colours including black, white, blue and a silver option. Learn more about metal wire binding in our blog post.What is Metal Wire Binding?So what is metal wire binding? Metal wire binding spines are a preferred option if you want to have the ability to open your bound books at a 360 degree rotation. This can be an excellent space spacer on your desk as you can fold the book from back to front. Metal Wire binding is commonly used for notebooks or art books from A4 to A3 sizes. The metal wire is inserted and twisted through punched holes in the paper sheets. The spiral wire holds the book cover and pages together in a professional manner.The specially designed metal wire means that there is no stress added to the spine when the bound books are open. The flexible spine allows you to open the bound book and lay it on a desk without the book closing on you. Compared to other binding methods, this is where the metal wire binding method stands out.

How to bind A5 Booklets and A3 Documents for home and officeNow you can learn how to bind A5 Booklets! Not all documents are A4 however with a little bit of extra effort documents of various sizes can be bound. You just need to make sure the materials are the right size and that your binding machine is up to the task. Please note the below methods are only for Plastic Comb binding and Metal Wire binding.How to bind A5 Booklets smaller than A4For documents smaller than A4 you will require a binding machine with deletable pins. This is a vital because if there are too many dies punching you can end up with half a hole on the edge of your paper.The first step is to punch a scrap piece of paper cut to the size of the document you are binding. Once punched count the holes on the scrap paper as this will determine how many pins need to be pushed in. For example if you were comb binding and your scrap paper was A5 size and had 15 holes you would need to ensure that the first 15 pins from left to right were pushed in and the remaining pins were disengaged.For a neat punch centre the holes using the margin adjust on the right hand side. If the outside holes are too close to the edges it might be a good idea to remove one more pin and then re-centre.Once the holes are centred along your document it is time to cut down your plastic comb or metal wire so that the loops of the wire or comb match the number of holes on your document. Plastic combs can easily be cut using standard scissors and Metal Wires can be cut using a basic wire cutter found at any hardware store.How to bind A3 Documents larger than A4For documents larger than A4 binding can be a bit trickier but still easily done. All of our Plastic Comb and Metal Wire machines above entry level are capable of binding larger documents (except for our dual machines). If your machine can bind larger than A4 it will have a sprocket on the right hand side.First ensure that all pins are pushed in and punch the document, please note there should be an overhang to the side of the machine. Once the first pass has been done flip document 180 degrees along the punched edge and line up corresponding hole with sprocket so that remaining holes can be punched. Pull out the pins where the holes have already been punched on the first pass to avoid double punching a hole.Count the amount of holes punched and cut either the Plastic Comb or Metal Wire so that you have two equal lengths that fill all of the holes together. If this comes to an uneven number just have one comb or wire with an extra loop.For further information or help with either process please contact us below.

The SUPU CB430 Comb Binding Machine: A Cost-Effective Way to Bind DocumentsThe SUPU CB 430 comb binder is an affordable desktop binding machine that is surprisingly robust. It offers users a wide selection of features, including a substantial punch capacity, disengaging pins, and an adjustable depth margin,  In this review, we'll get to know the CB430 and learn what sets it apart from other entry-level comb binding machines.The BasicsComb binding is one of the most popular traditional binding styles, primarily because it uses affordable supplies and allows bound documents to be easily edited. Plastic binding combs are made up of a series of 27 rings (for letter-sized documents), which correspond to the 27-hole comb binding punch pattern. The rings are inserted into the pre-punched rectangular holes with the aid of a comb opener to create a bound document. Because there is no crimping or closing of the comb binding spine (as there is with binding coils and wire-o spines), a bound document can be reinserted into the comb opener to allow pages to be added or removed without requiring a new spine.The supu cb430 is a manual punch, manual bind machine. It has a 12" maximum punching length with a total of 29 pins, and punches the standard 27-hole pattern for letter-sized sheets. It also has an open punching throat,  All 29 pins are disengageable, which means that you can selectively eliminate holes to accommodate specialty paper sizes. The supu cb430 also allows you to adjust both the side margin (the distance of the holes from the side of the page) and punching depth margin (the depth of the holes from the binding edge - generally closer to the edge for thinner documents and farther from the edge for thicker documents). The maximum punch capacity is 15 sheets per pull (based on 20 lb. paper), and the binding capacity ranges from 3/16" to 2" (approximately 12 pages to 425 pages).The supu cb430  It is small enough to fit on most desktops, and is light enough to be easily transported between offices. Despite its small footprint and low weight, it has an attractive and durable metal casing and is backed by a one-year warranty.In ReviewWith features like fully disengageable pins and an adjustable depth margin, the cb430 is ideal for small office environments with low to moderate binding volumes. It offers more options than most other machines in its class, Though it is not designed for high volume use or production settings, it does have an excellent balance between cost and features, and is one of the more durable machines offered in that pricing level. If you are looking for an entry-level comb binding machine that is packed with features but won't break the bank, then you should definitely take a closer look at the cb430 comb binder.
