When shopping for a Velobind or SureBind binding machine, customers often call wanting to know the difference between the four machines that are made for each binding style. Really, the differences are fairly simple and understanding them is essential in choosing the correct system for your needs. Here is a brief overview of the difference between the different machines:
1. The Velobind / SureBind system One (the Velobind System One binding machine is also referred to as the GBC v800pro) is the lowest priced hot knife Velobind system on the market. This binding machine has a manual punch that can punch a maximum of 20 sheets per lift. The Velobind and SureBind system One binding machine can bind documents up to 1" thick (approximately 250 sheets).
2. The Velobind / SureBind system Two binding machine offer an electric punch that can punch a maximum of 22 sheets per lift. It offers a slightly shorter cycle (approximately 10-12 seconds to bind) and it can bind documents up to 2" thick (approximately 500 sheets).
3. The Velobind / SureBind system Three binding machine offers a foot pedal operated heavy duty electric punch that can punch a maximum of 25 sheets per lift. It offers a faster cycle on smaller documents (approximately 8 seconds for documents up to 1 inch) and a slightly longer cycle for larger documents (approximately 18 seconds for documents over 1 inch). The Velobind / SureBind System Three binding machine includes a built in debinding feature and is the only binding system on the market that can bind documents up to 3" thick.
4. The Velobind System Four Bind is a standalone electric binding head that operates in much the same way as the Velobind System three. It includes a built in electric debind feature and can bind documents up to 3 inches thick. The System Four binding machine binds documents up to 1" thick in approximately eight seconds and binds documents over 2" thick in between ten and twelve seconds. Many users who elect to buy the Velobind System Four binding machine use their Magnapunch or other modular punch for increased productivity. This allows one individual to punch documents while another binds.
All of the Velobind / Surebind binding machine systems above have the ability to bind documents that are 8.5", 11" and 14" long using the appropriate binding strips. These systems are all hotknife binding machine systems utilizing 11 pin strips that are riveted into place using heat for a permanent, secure and tamper resistant bind. These binding machine systems are not compatible with the smaller desktop Velobind units on the market.
