Unibind Essentials By Jeff McRitchie At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

If you have ever wondered how the Unibind binding system is different from other binding systems or you have simply wanted to learn more about this method of binding documents, this article will answer many of your questions.

The Unibind binding machine works in conjunction with a steel spine and special glue. To bind documents, you insert your pages into the Unibind spine cover and put the entire cover on the machine. The machine is designed to respond to the presence of the document and will begin to heat up and bind the document permanently. You can bind more than one document at a time up to the width of your heating element.

Unibind offers a variety of spines and covers to allow users to customize their reports, manuals, presentations, and more. Some of the options include:

* Steelback spines come with paper covers to ensure easy handling while you bind. These steelback spines are colored and allow you to use your own covers for the front and back of your document.

* Steelcrystal covers use an integrated steel spine and a clear cover. This format allows you to use protect your documents while using your own text and illustrations on the front and back of your printed pages.

* Steelmat covers use an integrated steel spine and frosted cover. As with the steelcrystal covers, you can customize the text and illustrations on your first and last pages. These covers give an air of elegance to your documents.

* Steelbook hard covers create attractive, high-quality documents quickly and easily. The hard covers have an integrated steel spine embedded in them. These are available with solid colored covers or a variety of window options.

* Unibind photobooks are like Unibind steelbooks, but are available in landscape orientation with windows and alternate finishes. These are ideal for premium real estate marketing materials, portfolios, and the like. Unibind photobooks come in landscape letter size (8 ½" x 11"), 8"x8", 5"x7", 4"x6", 8"x10"x, and 12"x12".

The Unibind system works well for documents ranging from only a handful of pages to those up to about an inch and a half thick. However, it is essential to choose the correct size of spine for your project. If you must guess, it is better to err on the side of a spine that is slightly too big than one that is too small.

Because the supplies for this system come in an array of different colors, you can customize your manuals, portfolios, and presentations to precisely match the logos of your company or those of your clients' companies. Some of the color options available include dark blue, dark green, graphite, aluminum, bordeaux, and, of course, black and white.

One of the biggest advantages of this type of bookbinding system is how quickly it works since it allows you to bind more than one document at a time. The XU138 model allows users to bind eight documents at a time. Other models can bind significantly more at one time. Surprisingly, binding one document takes the same amount of time as binding eight or more.
