Unibind XU138

Looking for a great lighter-duty thermal binding
machine that won't break the bank? Here are four of the best available.

Perfect Bind T-30

Perfect Bind's T-30 is a thermal binding machine that brings you high
quality at a reasonable price. This machine is able to bind books up to
on inch thick, an also gives you the option of binding multiple booklets
at a time up that total up to one inch in thickness. So simple to use,
all the user has to do is to place the document into the T-30 and wait
less than a minute. When the buzzer sounds, you will know that your book
is bound. When the process is finished, place your book in the
convenient cooling rack, and move on to the next book. The Perfect Bind
T-30 works great with just about all available thermal utility covers,
thermal book covers and glue strips. Hard cover cases can be used too,
but it may take two cycles to get the best bind.

Pro-Bind 1000

The Pro-Bind 1000 may be a compact and lightweight machine, but it
performs like a heavyweight in all of its applications. The PB 1000
gives you all of the power and punch of its big brother, the Pro-Bind
2000, in a slightly smaller size. The 1000's one inch throat makes it
perfect for lighter duty applications, and you'll still be able to use
this great machine to bind several books at once. Binding hardcover
books is a breeze as well. Just run them through two cycles, and then
crimp them in Pro Bind's safe and easy to use crimper. The PB 1000 warms
up in a quick three minutes, and gives you visual and audible signals
when the cycle is finished. A handy standby feature reduces your power
consumption. All this makes the PB 1000 a great choice for a smaller
office, a home business or for any and all self-publishers.

Fellowes TB 450

The TB 450 is a high capacity unit that would be a great fit for a small
to medium office setting. Binds books up to 700 pages, fast and easy
and in one step. Designed with three separate binding cycles of 30, 45
and 60 seconds, which allow you to adjust for all of the different book
widths and spine types. The TB450 is warmed up and ready to go in a mere
3 minutes, and a handy green light lets you know when the machine is
ready to go and when the cycle is complete. The TB 450 comes with an
adjustable cooling rack, internal clamps that hold your books in place
during binding, and a starter kit to get you up and running in no time.

Unibind XU138

The single-heater UniBind XU-138 can bind up to 8 books per cycle.
UniBind's inimitable steel covers automatically activate the machine's
heating element, so operation is a breeze. The XU-138 hasa simple
lighting system that shows red during binding and green when the job is
done. Easy to use and fast, the XU-138 is great for offices where speed
matters, and that want a professional and attractive finished document.
The XU-138 works with SteelCrystal, SteelMatte, and SteelBook covers, as
well as SteelBack binding supplies.
