binding system
The AccuBindPro thermal tape binder offers your customers a combination of simple, low-cost binding, strong binds and professional
looking results. Positioned as a reasonably priced, highly productive
binding system with an economical cost per bind, the AccuBindPro is
ideal for binding business reports, publications, manuals, proposals,
workbooks and more. It performs great on all these document styles
since they are normally copied or printed on various bond
copy/duplicating paper stocks (high gloss or laminated papers are
not best suited for thermal-adhesive binding). Virtually any business
or organization that produces documents would benefit from using
an AccuBindPro, including corporations, quick printers, small businesses, schools and non-profit organizations. When a prospects
demands of overall presentation and binding strength matter most,
even end users binding only a few binds per week can justify the purchase of an AccuBindPro. However, that process of justifications
gets even easier when production requirements become moderate or
heavy. It is important to note that a document's positive first impression is vital to an end user and the AccuBindPro helps to insure that
result.
Sell Quality Results
As you most likely know, there are numerous office level binding
systems that can cost from several hundreds of dollars to many thousands of dollars. Low production volume can sometimes force an
organization to focus on binding equipment that is less expensive,
but the trade-off is more labor is required to bind the document, several steps are added and the end result is not often complimentary to
the image that the user would like to portray. Various binding methods are available in this price range: GBC comb, spiral coil, wire
coil, thermal cover and even thermal tape binding.
If a purchase decision is made on pricing alone, the AccuBindPro
could be considered (at $4,695) in a different product category than
the cheaper aforementioned binding methods. However, you must
remember that quality sells, and end users that might previously have
only considered a low-priced product should not be overlooked.
They will understand the importance of a quality appearance and
how one-step binding makes operation smoother and easier and less
labor intensive. And, though they may not buy many binding strips
at the beginning, remember that as they grow and production needs
expand their demand for binding strips will also expand…especially
when great results are so easily achieved.
Don't Punch Anymore!
In most competitive mechanical binding systems in the low to mid
volume binding arena, two separate functions are required, and many
times this requires the purchase of two separate pieces of equipment.
The mechanical binding processes that use combs and spiral coil
require a machine to punch the paper and another to insert the spine
