Plastic comb binding is one of the most popular forms of paper binding today. Plastic combs are durable and can be re-used. Plastic combs are widely used by schools and businesses, and are also easy for home use.
Purchase options include comb binder machines with an electric punch or a manual punch. Manual punches are mainly used for small to medium-volume jobs, and electric punches are used for medium to high-volume jobs.
Plastic comb binders first punch the holes in the paper. The binding comb is then inserted in the binding machine. The comb binder's handle is pulled, opening the combs to allow placement of the paper through the combs. When the plastic comb is closed, the paper is bound together.
Plastic comb binding machines punch 19 holes along the 11 inch side of a paper. Plastic combs can bind anything from 3/16 inches (12 sheets of standard 20 pound paper) to 2 inches (425 sheets of standard 20 pound paper). Order your comb binding machine today!
