Answer

There are some varied differences between each machine. The V2000-Pro SecureBind Hot Knife System is made by a company called Tamerica. They V2000-Pro Securebindrecently began manufacturing GBC-style Velobind machines. Velobind was originally introduced by GBC.

The V2000-Pro Securebind is a good way to VeloBind a small amount of documents. This machine uses the standard 11-prong Velobind or Securebind strips. It is capable of binding up to 2 inches of paper. The V2000-Pro is compatible with GBC Velobind supplies and may be used to bind both legal and letter-sized documents. The machine has a manual punch and cuts and binds electronically.

The VeloBind V800 model is made by GBC. This is mostly a manually operated machine that punches up to a 1/8-inch stack of paper, and binds up to one inch of paper. This machine uses heat to cut off excess VeloBind prongs and seal the back strip to the 11-prong front strip.

Office Zone unfortunately does not carry GBC SureBind binding machines. However, we can share a little information here about them. According to the GBC Web site, there are some slight differences between Velobind and SureBind machines. The finished documents are nearly the same. There are some small differences in the strip and its functionality, however.

SureBind strips have 10 prongs, VeloBind strips have 11. SureBind prongs are slightly offset, making it compatible with GBC Plastic Binding systems. If you have a document punched with 19 rectangular holes, you can bind it with a SureBind strip for a different look. VeloBind strips are evenly spaced and are not compatible with any other style binding.
