Unibind provides one of the most professional options for binding your documents, reports, presentations and proposals. In fact, there is no other binding system available on the market the provides the versatility and professional look that you can get with Unibind. However, understanding what Unibind binding machine might be right for you can be somewhat difficult.

All Unibind binding machines have a few things in common. They all have the ability to detect the steel in the Unibind spines and automatically turn themselves on. They also all have a timer that will activate the machine for the appropriate binding time. They all have visual and audible binding indicators and also have the ability to bind multiple documents at one time. However, not all Unibind machines are alike and it is important that you are able to choose the correct machine for your needs. This article is designed to help you understand the features that you need to look for when choosing a Unibind binding machine. Here they are…

1. Heating Units: The primary thing that sets apart the different Unibind binding machines is the number of heating units that are included. You can get Unibind machines with as little as one heating unit and as many as ten heating units. Each heating unit is operated individually and can bind multiple documents at one time. Depending on the number of documents that your organization needs to bind, you will need to decide how many documents that you would like to bind at one time.
2. Cooling Racks: Depending on the Unibind binding machine that you choose, there will be different numbers of cooling racks mounted to the machine. The Unibind XU138 includes a one heating unit and one cooling rack. After your books are finished you will need to set them into the cooling rack to allow them to cool. It is important to make sure that you have adequate space to cool your documents while you bind them. If you choose a Unibind binding machine that does not have a cooling rack then you will need to purchase separate cooling racks for your documents.  [The PhotoBook Creator also has a cooling rack.  This machine is recommended for customers whose main object is to produce a modest number of photo books.- Daniel Roberts]
   
3. Document Thickness Compatibility: Unibind spines and covers are available in sizes up to 36mm. Most of the smaller Unibind binding machines can handle these large spines. However, the largest Unibind machines are not designed to bind the largest books but instead are designed to meet the needs of users who bind hundreds of small documents. If you need to bind extra large documents you are going to want to select one of the smaller Unibind units on the market.

These three features are important in choosing the best Unibind binding machine for your needs. Check out the choices and compare the features
