Binding equipment refers to tools and machines used to assemble and secure pages together, creating a finished book or document. Common types of binding equipment include binding machines, staplers, and coil binders. These devices help ensure that pages stay in order and are easy to flip through. Different binding methods can be employed depending on the desired outcome. For instance, thermal binding uses heat to secure pages, while spiral binding involves coiling a plastic or metal spiral through holes punched along the edge of the pages. Each method offers unique benefits for various projects.
