An In-Depth Look at the Megabind Plastic Comb Binding Machine
Plastic Comb Binding Machines are available from low volume personal models,to high production heavy duty comb binding machines. There is such a wide variety of machines to choose from that shopping can be frustrating;why can’t someone just make it simple? Well,Buy101 has done the homework for you by providing in-depth product reviews on our most popular products to help you make an educated decision.
First,let’s review the Plastic Comb Binding method,to ensure that this is the binding method you will need. Plastic comb binding is a traditional,economical,and simple binding method that can be done without training. The binding spines,called plastic combs,are made of PVC plastic and consist of a spine of round rings that spread open for sheet inserting. The rings fit into rectangular holes along a binding edge,and a standard 11″binding edge contains 19 holes. Plastic comb binding is the ideal solution for those who need to save money,as well as those who will be binding books that may need frequent editing. Because the plastic combs can simply be opened and closed,multiple times,editing your book is easy. In addition,plastic combs are great for consumers who need to customize the binding spine with printing,as our printing department can customize with printing,and even foil stamp. Additional and custom lengths are available. Sixteen different diameters are available ranging from 3/16″up to 2″thick. Combs are round in sizes 3/16″up to 1″. 1-1/4″and larger combs are oval shaped with 3 locks to hold rings together with the heavy pages. Plastic comb binding is very popular for user and instruction manuals,cookbooks,proposals,children’s books,presentations,and more. Some advantages that plastic comb binding has over other binding methods include that it is a common method,making it readily available from a variety of outlets,it is inexpensive,it can be custom imprinted,it can be easily edited,it has a wide range of sizes and colors available,and allows for perfect registration where the pages align perfectly. Some disadvantages with binding with plastic comb include that there are fewer standard colors that with some other binding methods and that pages cannot be turned a full 360 degrees.
Remember,with any machine you always want to punch scratch piece of paper first to make sure the paper margin is set correctly so that the holes are centered along the binding edge. This is also a good idea to do when first using the machine to help get rid of any left-over oil residue from the manufacturing process.

The Akiles Megabind Manual Comb Binding Machine is perfect for mid-volume usage in the office. It has a binding capacity from of up to 2″,and features easily disengageable punch pins.

It will punch through a total of about 20 sheets (of 20 pound paper) in just one pass,allowing for fewer punches to get your book bound.
