If you're looking to bind your company's booklets, documents, and presentations, a Fellowes binding machine can help you achieve your goals quickly and easily. Fellowes, one of the country's leading office machine manufacturers, has a fantastic variety of binding machines to choose from. Whether you're looking for a basic comb binding unit or something more elaborate, read on to find out how to choose the right Fellowes binding machine.

  1. Choose your binding style. Fellowes makes machines that are designed for three different types of binding. Depending on your needs any one of the three styles could be a good fit for your organization. Here is a quick overview of the three types of binding machines that Fellowes makes.
    • Plastic comb. This is a popular binding choice with many organizations because it's economical and simple. Comb binding is great for presentations and reports, and you can bind documents containing up to 500 pages with this method. Fellowes offers a variety of comb-binding machines in every price bracket whether you're looking for a machine for personal use or one for your busy workplace.
    • Wire. If you need a stylish look for your document, wire binding is a fantastic choice and Fellowes' Quasar wire binding machine can help you achieve this look effortlessly. Up to 130 pages can be bound with this binding method. Wire binding is also very durable and offers great security for your sensitive documents.
    • Thermal. Ideal for reports and other documents up to 700 pages long, thermal binding gives your project the look and feel of a real book. The easy-to-use TB Series offers the latest in thermal binding technology so anyone can create a great-looking product.
  2. Determine how often you'll be binding.Fellowes binding machines are designed for three types of use: personal, small office, and large office. If you're an individual who plans on only binding a couple of times per month, a personal machine such as the Starlet 90 comb binding machine is a good selection. But, if your office is planning on binding more documents more often, choose a heavy-duty machine such as one from the thermal binding TB Series. The Quasar 500 comb binding machine might also be a good selection - after all, it can quickly bind documents containing up to 500 pages.
  3. Make a wish list of your desired features. Now that you know the style and frequency of your binding, you can think about what features you want in a binding machine. Perhaps you're looking for an electric machine that's easy to use - if so, the Electric Pulsar E 300 machine might be just the ticket. Or you may be looking to increase productivity with a satellite system that allows multiple users to punch and bind simultaneously, or you need a machine that's easy to use, can bind multiple items at once, or contains a chip tray to allow for fast clean-up. No matter what you're looking for in a binding machine, Fellowes has the machine for you.
  4. Get binding! Not only does Fellowes produce some of the best binding machines available, they offer a wide selection of binding supplies to go along with your new purchase. Be sure to purchase plastic combs, report covers, filler paper, and index tabs to get started with your machine. Also, check out Fellowes' binding starter kits.
