Bound documents last longer than unbound documents. Modern binding processes are done mostly with machines rather than manually, to ensure efficiency and low time consumption. Binding machines have manual punch and electric punch. Manual punch is usually used for small- and medium-volume jobs, whereas the electric punch is used for medium- and large-volume jobs. There are various types of electric binding machines, such as wire binding, book binding, coil binding and many others.

Presentation effect, production speed, and number of pages per bind will determine which binding technology is best suited for a particular application. Most feel that the electric binding machines give more efficient and higher-quality binding. With a plastic coil binding machine, the electric coil is inserted in the machine, which speeds up binding and saves time, while the cutting and crimping mechanism secures both coil ends simultaneously. This machine has an electric drive and one lever to punch and bind the document. We can also find the same kind of process in electric velobind machine models. But this machine is generally used by the beginner for low-volume jobs. Other kinds of electric binding machines use the same procedure for binding documents.

As market trends change, the binding technology also changes, producing better quality binding supplies and equipment, where the binding machines can deliver an outstanding quality in a limited amount of time. Before buying the electric binding machine of your choice, be sure to do the proper research necessary, so that you will end up investing in the longest-lasting and most reliable machine out there.
