If you’re shopping around for a coil binding machine, you may want to take a look at a coil binding machine. Why? There are a lot of reasons why I consider coil binding to be one of the most superior book binding formats out there. Before I explain why I personally like coil binding, let me go over exactly what makes up a coil binding machine.
Coil binding machines, frequently called spiral binding machines, use a special plastic PVC coil to bind and hold sheets of paper together. This binding format is very similar in appearance to the lined spiral notebooks you can buy at the store for school purposes. The only difference is that PVC coil binding is available in multiple colors and doesn’t easily bend or break.
Coil binding comes in two different hole patterns, commonly referred to as the pitch. These are 4:1 pitch and 5:1 pitch. A 4:1 pitch is 4 holes per inch, which ends up being about 44 holes along an 11″ side of paper. A 5:1 pitch is 5 holes per inch and ends up being about 55 holes along the 11″ side of a sheet of paper. Between these two hole patterns, I find 4:1 pitch to be more popular. This is because it can be used to bind more sheets of paper.
4:1 Pitch Capacity: 2 to 230 sheets of paper (1/4″ to 1 1/4″ of paper)
5:1 Pitch Capacity: 2 to 152 sheets of paper (1/4″ to 13/16″ of paper)
The binding format you use ultimately depends on your own personal preference. I personally like both. A 4:1 pitch has a more spaced look where 5:1 pitch has a tighter look. Both can be used to bind reports, presentations and books. You will find, however, that 4:1 pitch coil supplies are more readily available online and locally.
These machines are all manual punch machines with an electric coil inserter. I personally think an electric coil inserter is a must-have accessory on a coil binding machine. Some entry-level machines don’t include an inserter, which means you will have to manually spin coils through the punched holes.
I really like coil binding because the spines look nice, the pages turn easily and pages can even be wrapped a full 360 degrees. I have used cookbooks bound in coil and I love the face that the pages wrap around and the books even lay flat for easy reading.
Coil binding is available in a wide variety of colors and diameters. If you need to bind books smaller than 11″, you simply cut off a little more coil when crimping the ends of the coil closed. It is simply a very versatile binding format. Here is a vide demo of a coil binding machine in use:
As you can see from this video, coil binding a book takes just a minute or so. It is easy to do, the machines typically hold up well and they can be used at home, in the office, at a school or in a church. Coil binding is both function and professional.
Did I mention that coil binding is extremely durable? You can drop coil bound books, step on them, stack other books on them and the coil will retain its look. The same can’t be said for comb binding or wire binding.
The Akiles CoilMac ECI PLUS is a top-quality coil binding machine that will give all your manuscripts, reports, notebooks, proposals and other documents a sharp, professional look. The Akiles Coilmac ECI PLUS coil binding machine is a popular book binding machine choice among large corporations, colleges, churches, print shops, schools, law firms, court houses, government agencies, accounting offices, publishers and other organizations due to its reliability, functionality and output capacity.
By using the Akiles CoilMac ECI PLUS to bind the pages of a document into a spiral bound book all the individual pages are secure, easy to turn through, and show your target audience that you take your business seriously.
The Akiles Coilmac ECI PLUS coil binding machine is very simple to operate and can produce as many books in an hour as the operator can run through it. The Akiles Coilmac ECI PLUS has two sections that are used to prepare and bind the documents. The first part that is used is the paper punch, and the second part of the binding machine is the coil feeder.
To bind the documents into a spiral bound book, the user first sets the stack of document pages in order on to the hole punch section of the book binding machine. The operator then simply pulls down on the lever, piercing the pages. The hole punch leaves a series of oval-shaped holes in a 4:1 pitch along the margin of the pages. Once the holes have been punched through the document the binding machine operator runs the complete document through the coil feeder. The coil feeder briskly applies the metal or plastic coil through the holes in the pages, binding the pages together into a sturdy, professional looking spiral-bound book.
This is a video demo of the Akiles CoilMac ECI Plus coil binding machine:
The Akiles Coilmac ECI PLUS book binding machine has a rugged metal frame and an industrial grade roller motor. This solid construction ensures that it will provide years of reliable use, giving you more bang for your binding machine buck. The hole punch features a super strength punch mechanism with exclusive “Precision Guiding System” Blade Set that has a 20 sheet stack capacity to handle thicker books. The insertion roller on the Akiles Coilmac ECI PLUS is a full length heavy-duty electric coil inserter with a double roller mechanism to make coil inserting faster and easier.
The CoilMac-ECI PLUS book binding machine is the product of Akiles Products, Inc. Akiles is a leading manufacturer of quality book binding, book making, and accessory equipment in the Binding and Laminating Industry.
The Akiles Coilmac ECI PLUS book binding machine has a heavy duty, high volume design that is able to bind books more rapidly than similar coil binding machines. The oval shaped holes in the paper, combined with the double roller system, will speed up insertion time by 50%. The two sections of the machine can be separated so you can use the punch and inserter side by side with two people operating it, one punching the other inserting. This enables you to get through more books faster if you’re up against a deadline, or have a larger order to bind.
With all the different binding machine formats floating around out there, it is a little tough to know which one you should use. I have over 10 years of experience using pretty much everything out there and I have to say that comb, wire and coil binding are still my favorites. Of these three binding formats, each have their own pros and cons that I would like to explain in this article.
As mentioned earlier, I really like comb, wire and coil binding machines. These three formats also happen to be the most widely used today. These binding styles each go by a variety of different names:
Comb Binding (AKA) – 19-Ring Binding, Plastic Binding, School Binding
Coil Binding (AKA) Spiral Binding, Spring Binding, Plastic Spiral Binding, Color Coil Binding, 5:1 Binding, 4:1 Binding
Now that we have established the different names attached to these binding formats, I would like to cover why you may want to use these binding formats.
Comb Binding – If you are looking for a binding machine purely for binding and organizational purposes and you don’t care what the end results look like, this is the binding format for you. Comb binding is by far the cheapest method of binding books, reports and presentations. The machines are cheap and the supplies are about as inexpensive as they come. Having used dozens of different comb binding machines myself, I have to say that this is probably the easiest binding format out there.
Comb binding involves 19-hole punched paper (on the 11″ side of letter-size paper). Once paper has been punched, place a comb on the machine’s comb opener. Open the comb and slide the comb’s fingers through the punched holes and close the comb element. That’s really all there is too it.
Comb binding elements themselves come in a wide array of colors and are usually available in quantities of 100 per box. Comb binding elements allow you to remove and re-add pages. The elements can be re-used multiple times before they wear out, which is ideal for those of you who are into recycling.
Wire Binding – If you bind things for professional purposes, let’s say in a business environment, wire binding may be the best format for you. This binding style utilizes loops of wire, often referred to as twin loop wire. Each of these twin loops is inserted through punched holes (usually done on a wire binding machine). The look is very professional and very classy.
Wire binding comes in 3 different hole patterns. The least common is 19-ring wire, aka Spiral-O wire. This format involves 19 total holes along an 11″ sheet of paper and is designed to work with the same hole pattern as coil binding. Holes are rectangular in shape.
The other 2 more popular hole formats are 2:1 pitch (2 holes per inch) and 3:1 pitch (3 holes per inch). While both common, the 2:1 pitch is probably slightly more popular. Two-to-one pitch holes are slightly rectangular in shape, where 3:1 pitch holes are square (sometimes round).
The biggest downside to wire is that it cannot be re-used and can potentially bend if hit or dropped. Wire binding comes in a variety of colors and is one of the most popular “business” binding machine formats”
Coil Binding – If you need a binding format that is almost indestructible and is perfect for long-term booklets, reports and presentations, coil binding is just what you need. This format uses binding elements that look like coils, often referred to as spirals. Coil binding is made from PVC plastic, which makes them really tough. I had someone tell me once that they accidentally ran over a report that fell onto their driveway that was coil bound and it came out of the incident unscathed.
Coil binding supplies come in a wide range of colors and diameters, however, you should be aware that there are 2 different hole patterns. One is 4:1 pitch (4 holes per inch) and 5:1 pitch (5 holes per inch). Both of these hole patterns look good. The style you use depends on the look you prefer and how much paper you need to bind. The more common 4:1 pitch can bind more paper than 5:1 pitch.
While there is a little bit of a learning curve with coil binding, it is easy to pick up and the process is pretty quick, especially if your coil binder is equipped with an electric inserter. The biggest advantage of coil binding, other than its durability, is the fact that coil bound pages can be completely wrapped around a full 360 degrees. Pages lie flat for easy reading. This is probably why coil binding is so popular for instructional booklets, cookbooks and manuals.
Best Brands
Who makes coil, wire and comb binding machines? To date, there are over a half-dozen different reputable manufacturers. These are the ones that I feel confident you will enjoy using:
Proposals, manuscripts and reports all have one primary function-they are supposed to impress stakeholders, decision makers and prospects. The condition in which you present these documents speaks just as loudly as the information and data contained on the pages. So unless you think your target audience is going to be impressed with your awesome stapling or paper clipping skills, you need a book binding machine. More specifically, you need the Akiles Coilmac ECI binding machine.
The Akiles Coilmac ECI is a coil binding machine that will give all your important documents a professional, “we actually care about our business,” appearance. It binds the individual pages together to create an organized book.
The Akiles Coilmac ECI coil binding machine is commonly used by large corporations, churches, print shops, schools, accounting offices, publishers and other organizations to organize and bind their documents into sturdy books. The binding equipment contains all the pages in order, so there is no fear of losing important information due to page fall out. The coil binding also makes pages easy to turn so it reduces tearing or damage to the book.
The Akiles Coilmac ECI coil binding machine functions using two parts that are very easy to operate. The first part is the paper hole punch, the second part is the coil feeder. To bind books the user first places an ordered stack of documents from the book into the hole punch section. The user then pulls the lever down on, piercing the pages leaving a series of oval-shaped holes in a 4:1 pitch along the margin of the pages. After all the pages have had holes punched, the binding machine operator runs the complete stack of pages through the coil inserter which rapidly feeds a metal or plastic coil through the holes, binding the pages together. And just like that, the user has a sturdy, professional grade book instead of a bunch of pages that look like a high school research paper.
This is a video demo of the Coilmac ECI:
The Akiles Coilmac ECI book binding machine is ruggedly built to provide years of solid use. It can punch a stack of 20 sheets at a time, and has an industrial grade roller motor. The insertion roller on the Akiles Coilmac ECI is designed to be high friction and have long durability to make coil inserting more fast and easy. This solid construction means you’ll get years of use out of this machine, making it a good purchase decision.
The CoilMac-ECI book binding machine is the product of Akiles Products, Inc. Akiles is a leading manufacturer of quality book binding, book making, and accessory equipment in the Binding and Laminating Industry.
The Akiles Coilmac ECI book binding machine is designed to bind books together more quickly than other binding machines. The oval shapped holes in the paper, combined with the double roller system, will speed up insertion time by 50%. You also have the option of use the punch and inserter side by side, so two people can operate the machine at a time. This is a handy time saving feature when you’re up against a deadline.
Print shops are always in need of good, efficient binding equipment. This tends to happen when you’re in the business of creating and selling notebooks, notepads and other types of bound stationery. As a result, the Martin Yale J1811 padding press has always been a popular piece of binding equipment for print shops, publishing houses and offices that just like making their own notepads.
The Martin Yale J1811 padding press is a quality binding tool that works well for small or large print shops. This padding press is extremely simple for a user to operate and is designed to handle most small padding jobs, such as making carbonless forms, note pads and scratch pads. The Martin Yale J1811 creates these different types and sizes of stationery by holding the pages firmly in place while a binding adhesive is applied to the spine of the paper stack, creating pads that are up to 5 ¾ inches high and 17 ¾ inches wide.
Operating the Martin Yale J1811 padding press is extremely simple. The operator begins by adjusting the clamping clips on the padding press to provide ample room to insert the stack of paper to be bound. After the stack of paper has been jogged and aligned, the stack is placed on the work area of the padding press. The clamping clips should then be adjusted and locked into place to firmly hold the stack of paper to the padding press. Binding adhesive is then generously applied to the spine of the paper stack, and left to dry for 10-25 minutes. The time the adhesive takes to dry can vary based on how liberally it was applied. The new notepad can then be removed and divided into smaller pads if needed.
The Martin Yale J1811 padding press is made of durable metal, so it will provide years of use, and purchasers will easily recoup the costs of buying one. Another benefit to the operator is that all the settings can be adjusted by hand. No additional tools are necessary.
The J1811 padding press is manufactured by Martin Yale Industries, a US manufacturer of office and mailroom equipment. Martin Yale Industries was founded in 1940, and their over 68 years of experience shows in the designing, engineering, and manufacturing of their quality office products.
The Martin Yale J1811 padding press is easy to use, and does what it needs to very well. It’s a good piece of equipment to have around for your print shop, or if your company wants to save money by recycling scrap paper into note pads. You can purchase a Martin Yale J1811 at an affordable price at Office Zone. And be sure to purchase the adhesive and the brush, or else you’ll end up with a pricey paperweight. You can find our entire selection of padding presses here.
Comb binding continues to be one of the most popular book binding formats used today. There are many reasons for this. Let me list off just a few of those reasons:
Price - Comb binding supplies are THE cheapest available today. You can buy a box 100 1/4″ diameter supplies for just a few dollars. Even wire and coil can’t compete with that rate. Not only are the supplies inexpensive, but the machines are affordable as well. You can find our comb binding machines here and comb binding supplies here.
Look – Many people like the look of comb binding. It is very unique and has been used for decades, developing a certain appeal to many people.
Availability – Comb binding elements are one of the most available supplies available. You can find the online, in brick & mortar stores and much more.
Colors - Comb binding supplies come in a wide range of color, including red, green, blue, brown, black, clear, white and much more.
Adding / Removing – Comb binding elements are extremely easy to re-open, allowing you to easily add and remove pages.
Recycling – Comb binding supplies can be re-used over and over again, making it possible to bind multiple books for years using the same element.
Comb binding is commonly used to bind booklets, reports, presentations and other documents. The two most common types of comb binding machines are electric and manual comb binders. Manual comb binders are generally used for low to medium-volume binding and electric machines are used for medium to high-volume binding.
So how do you actually use a comb binding machine? This guide will show you how to comb bind a booklet in 8 easy steps.
How to Use a Comb Binding Machine
Step 1. Set up the comb binding machine prior to use. This may involve adjusting the margin depth (how far the holes are punched in the paper), side margin guides (where the holes punch in the paper left to right) and the selectable punching pins (If equipment, will allow you to disable specific holes). There isn’t usually too much involved in setting up the comb binding machine.
Step 2. Take the paper you plan on punching and gather it into a stack. This is a personal preference, but I like to keep the cover and the back cover separate.
Step 3. Take about 10-20 sheets (depending on your machine’s punching capacity) and begin punching each stack of paper. If using a manual punch, pull the punching arm. If using an electric punch, press the punching button or foot pedal. This process usually only takes a few seconds. Repeat this process until all the paper has been punched.
Step 4. Take all your paper and jog it together, aligning the edges. This can be done manually by tapping the paper on a table or by using an electric paper jogger (found here). This will make it easier to insert the combs.
Step 5. Place the comb element you will be using on the machine’s comb opener. Open the comb by pulling or pushing the comb opening lever. Most electric comb binding machines still have a manual comb opener.
Step 6. Once the comb is open, insert the open fingers of the comb through the punched paper. Be sure you get all 19 fingers through each of the 19 punched holes. Also be sure the fingers make it all the way through the holes. It is easy to accidentally mist a few pages.
Step 7. Release the comb opener, allowing the comb’s fingers to naturally recoil back into their natural position.
Step 8. You have just finished comb binding your first book. You are now ready to repeat the process (if needed).
This is where you can find everything you need to start comb binding:
So there you have it! While it may seem a little intimidating at first, comb binding books is actually pretty easy. If you still have questions, please feel free to contact one of our comb binding specialists by calling 1-800-543-5454.
Are you looking for an inexpensive way to bind your documents, while at the same time trying to avoid comb, wire, or coil binding? If so, a binding style to consider would be the thermal binding. In particular, the Fellowes Helios 60 would be a great choice to start with. This review will show you why this machine has risen quickly as a great option in the thermal binding genre.
Fellowes is one of the most familiar brand names around the office, ranging from shredders, laminators, mouse pads, to comb, wire, and thermal binders. The Helios 60 is one of their newest additions to the office environment and it is gaining in popularity quickly. Why is this? Listed below are a few of the main reasons it is a recommended product.
- Large binding capacity. With the ability to bind up to an amazing 600 sheets, the Helios 60 outperforms pretty much every other binder on the market. Comb binding only goes up to 425 sheets. However, if you don’t need up to 600 sheets, yet you still enjoy thermal binding, the Helios 30 is also available, which is very similar in design and purpose. You can find more information about the Helios 30 here.
- Simplicity. Binding has never been easier with the Helios 60 thermal binder. Thermal binders work like sophisticated ovens. After a brief 4 minute warm up time, your machine is ready to go. Simply put your documents into the thermal binding covers and then place into the machine. The machine will melt the glue from the covers and bind your covers securely and without any mess. Covers range in size and color. Here is a link to view our selection of Fellowes thermal binding covers.
- Modern design. The sleek, new design from Fellowes allows the Helios 60 to fit in any office or home setting. Featuring the capability to fold flat, it can be easily transported or stored away. It also comes equipped with a LED control panel, auto shut-off to prevent overheating (or accidental burns), document thickness detectors, and audio and visual indicators which will signal when the machine is ready for use, as well as when the job is finished.
- 2 year warranty. This is a very generous warranty for a binding machine. Most binding machines only come with a 90 day warranty. This machine doesn’t really have any consumable parts, and is in general a simple machine, but having a comfortable 2 year warranty brings peace of mind knowing your machine is built to last.
Again, if you need a very simple, affordable binding machine, the Helios 60 is one that will be a great asset to your office or home business. It is also a great option for school reports. You can find more information about the Fellowes Helios 60 thermal binding machine here:

There are many types of binding available today, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. While most are fairly simple to operate, the one that seems to hold that “mystery” or “confusing” effect is the Velobind machine. You’ve seen them here and there, and you’ve always wondered what they do, but you haven’t actually seen what they can do. This article will explain the benefits that come with this style of binding, as well as a tutorial on how they work.
How They Work
Like most other binding machines, the first thing you need to do is punch the holes. Simply insert the paper into the allotted punch location and the hard part is over. Most Velobinders operate the punch with either a foot pedal operation or a simple touch of a button, and the Velobind System III can do both.
Most machines will be able to punch up to 15-25 sheets of paper. Once your punch is made, you will need to manually insert your binding strip into each hole. After that, snag the back portion of the binding strip and place it into the posts. Many Velobind machines come with a pin that shows you exactly where to place your binding element for the next phase. Simply line it up with that pin and lay your paper flat on the machine. When you’ve completed that part, lift the heating bar and lower it onto your paper. At this point the machine will do the rest. It will heat up and melt the posts off and cut off any excess.
- Durable and solid bind. Velobinding is very popular for law offices and construction companies for this reason. It would be most unfortunate to have any vital information for your client or an important building schematic lost because of the binding not holding properly. That problem is eliminated with the Velobind machines.
- Large capacity. Velobind soars when it comes to being able to bind large documents. With the ability to bind up to 3″ thick of material, these machines are on a level all their own. Comb and Coil binding only bind up to a little over 2″ thick.
Velobind weaknesses
- Laying the document flat. Unlike your Coil binding, the Velobind machines cannot lay 100% flat on the desk. This isn’t a huge issue, however, unless you like to have your hands free when going through your documents or reports. Turning the pages is still easy, however.
- Debinding. Most of the lower end Velobind machines cannot be undone, making your project permanent. So, if you ever need to add or take away pages from your report, you may be out of luck. The Velobind System III, however, does have a built-in debind function that is completely automatic.
Overall, these machines are great for the price, especially due to their durability and longevity. We have a model that’s been in our showroom for over 10 years now and it’s not showing any signs of slowing down whatsoever. The models we carry are from GBC and can be found here:
While GBC is typically not my favorite manufacturer, they have done a great job with these machines.
Officezone also carries all the supplies needed for Velobinding, such as the strips (in multiple colors and sizes), as well as a wide assortment of covers. If you have questions, need to make an order, or would like an official quote, make sure to contact us by phone (800-543-5454) or by e-mail regarding all your binding needs.
1. Will it bind 8.5″ x 11″ paper along the 11″ side?
and
2. Will I need to purchase additional parts such as glue and cardboard for binding?
Thank so much

The Minipad 4000 Padding Press will pad documents up to nine inches wide. However, the MiniPad 4000 padding press is still a popular choice with our customers. It can pad a stack of paper up to 10 inches high (approximately 4,000 sheets of 20 lb. paper). That’s why it’s one of our best-selling items. But for you, we recommend the Superpad Padding Press Notepad Machine. The model can pad up to 18 inches wide. If you are looking for a padding press that is capable of padding thousands of sheets of paper at a time, then the Superpad Notepad Machine padding press is your best option. This high-volume padding can literally pad up to 10,000 sheets of paper at a time.
Do you dread the fact that you have to make yet another trip to Fedex-Kinkos or a similar store to get your binding done? If so, it’s probably time to start looking at getting your own binding machine. Binding machines are surprisingly inexpensive, especially comb binding. When it comes to affordable comb binders, a great model to consider is the Akiles EcoBind-C. It is a low to mid volume range machine. This review will give you some great insight into this machine, as well as help you understand why it will save you time and money.
An important thing to consider, when shopping for binding equipment, is which brand name to go with. Akiles is 100% solid quality and their machines have a great reputation for standing the test of time. Built from all-metal construction, they offer durability and longevity from their most basic models to their high-end industrial binders. They also back up their machines with a great one-year warranty.
A key component to this model that separates it from its competition is a full set of disengaging punching dies. This allows you to select which holes will punch on the paper, thus eliminating those pesky half-punches on the edge of the paper. It also gives you flexibility to bind smaller documents with ease. Most binders in this range will have 1 or 2 disengaging punching dies or none at all.
One thing many people don’t take into account when comb binding is a margin selector. The Akiles EcoBind-C can handle documents up to a whopping 425 sheets. When binding larger documents, it is always a good idea to adjust the margin so that the punch is deeper into the paper. This will prevent your document from coming unbound from the comb.
The modern design also offers a “U” shaped handle, which is perfect for eliminating arm strain. It also features a catch tray for the excess chad (left-over paper). It punches up to 20 sheets at a time (tested…it really does). Many models sport a high punching capacity, but just don’t live up to the hype. Not so with this model. It also has an extended base for your paper. This is great for making sure to punch in the proper place consistently each time.
The Akiles EcoBind-C comb binder (found here) is a good quality machine. I would easily recommend it over some of the more expensive models. You can find our entire selection of comb binding machines here. If you have any questions about comb binding, other models, or binding in general, be sure to contact knowledgeable customer service reps at 1-800-543-5454.
If you’re shopping around for a coil binding machine, you may want to take a look at a coil binding machine. Why? There are a lot of reasons why I consider coil binding to be one of the most superior book binding formats out there. Before I explain why I personally like coil binding, let me go over exactly what makes up a coil binding machine.
