Spiral Binding Machines

[Guest]

Does anyone have a spiral binding machine?

 

Are they worth the money? Do you know how much the plastic spiral bits cost?

I dont have a machine but i know you can pick up the spiral bits for about 10p each in most stationary shops (needed them for my dissertation), so i would imagine they can be picked up much cheaper by catalogue in bulk. Maybe try Ebay.

Hi We have an old second hand one which is really useful. Just about to use it to do our registers instead of buying themm

[alis2son]

Thats a really good idea, we usually print ours off weekly, but takes a lot of paper, and I have to do them every monday or remember to print them off before i leave on fridays.

I love my binding machine nearly as much as my laminater

 

Combs are fairly inexpensive and available from a variety of stationers.

i use my comb binder all the time do registers medicine and accident books and all the all about me books would be lost without it combs are very inexpensive e-bay have them for sale very cheap

We bought a comb binder from the council brochure for about £50 and use their binding rings that work out at about £2.50 for 100.

 

As Peggy says, it is loved as much as the laminator and is used for the children record books, to make photo books of activites, to display work to parents, make childrens work into books.......... the list is endless.

 

If you have the money, go ahead, you will not regret it

Absolutely! Love my binder, little books, class books, photo albums, books to go home, flap pictures, calendars, school brochures, key word books, silly mix and match people picture books - would be totally lost without it!
