Exactly What I Needed!
On a whim I decided to research how to bind my own materials instead of using a company in hopes of finding a cheaper option. I was a little nervous but after some research decided--why not give it a try? I cannot believe how easy it is! Why didn't I do this sooner?? I read a couple of reviews about how it's hard to get the timing right at first, etc. but I really just ...

seriously reconsider
I am using the thermal binders from the same company. The pages won't stay in.

First Home Binding Machine
It's a pretty nice machine! It's a little large for home use, I expected there to be a size difference between the 30 and the 60, but this was not a correct assumption, looking back. I'm using it to bind 81lb card stock and other paper that isn't traditional printer paper and it takes some finagling. You actually might need to use a larger thermal binding strip to catch...

Highly recommend - but with reservations
Overall I'm extremely happy with the purchase. I've only used it for binding reports of up to 30 pages so I can't speak to its capabilities for larger projects. But for bindings of 20 to 25 pages this machine is practically perfect. Super easy to use and excellent results. Under 15 pages is more of a challenge because the spine for report covers aren't easy to manipu...

Does the job
I recently purchase this machine to bind annual financial statements for the companies I work for. This machine performed exactly as expected. It does a good job and the price was very good. I was able to produce a professional looking quality product. I was very happy with the machine's performance

Professional Presentation Covers
Thermal Binding is the most professional presentation yet. We have binding machines with the combs; the binding with the slip on spine; duo-tangs, you name it, we've tried it and there is no better product out there for a impressive presentation. With a variety of sizes available to accommodate any size presentation this is the best system yet. Much faster than the punc...

My Thermal Binder Did the Job!
My Thermal Binder was easy to operate and helped me produce a great-looking product in very little time. I will not hesitate to use it for the next project.

The ideal was good and I was excited to purchase this product because I wanted to use it to put together my genealogy documents but I was really disappointed with this product and didn't do what it was suppose to do. I purchased the Thermal Presentation Covers as well and followed the instructions and it didn't work the pages did not stick together it looked nothing lik...

Better Than Sliced Bread-Helios 30 Thermal Binder
I have been a library media specialist for 26 years. I have always had problems trying to repair books successfully and have literally used every type of glue on the market. The Helios 30 Thermal Binder glues the books back together and they look like brand new! I am so impressed and happy with the results!
