Here at Paperstone, we have a huge range of binding machines, including click binders, manual and electric comb binders, strip binders, thermal binders, wire binders and multifunction binders.

While each machine is used to professionally and cleanly secure a selection of pages, they way that they bind and the type of comb they use will be different.

Popular uses for binding machines include creating instruction booklets, organising important legal documents, compiling teaching materials, and preparing dissertations.

To choose which kind of binding machine you need, it’s useful to start by considering how often you will be using the equipment. This will help you decide whether you need a simply entry level device, or a heavy duty, high-powered machine with more functions. 

If you have a small project that is a few pages long, a manual binder may be better, whereas if you need to tackle a large number of lengthy documents, an electric binding machine will be more efficient. 

It’s also useful to think about whether you’ll need a large machine with A4 binding capabilities, or a smaller A5 binder.

Each binding machine will have its own punch capacity, and bind capacity. These will both be shown in numbers. 

A binding machine’s punch capacity describes how many sheets of paper it can insert holes into at one time, while its bind capacity indicates the number of sheets it can secure in a single session. 

These figures will be vital to note when choosing a machine perfect for your project. 

All of the binders we offer are from well known and trusted manufactures, including fellowes, GBC, and 5 Star.
