If you don't have a binding machine and you can't afford to get one, you'll be pleased to know that you don't need a binding machine to bind your documents. Whether you're binding a school project or you need to put together a presentation for work, there are a few different binding methods available to you that don't require an expensive comb or wire binding machine. Here are four ways you can get a great-looking bound document using machineless binding. GBC ProClick binding spines. GBC is legendary in the binding machine world. This corporate giant has been in business since 1947 and manufactures a wide variety of binding machines, paper shredders, and laminators. They also offer a binding method that doesn't require a machine: ProClick binding spines. By using these spines with pre-punched paper, you can quickly and easily produce a professional-looking booklet. ProClick spines are available in several different sizes and colors (including frosted and matte finishes), and best of all, they can be reopened, so you can edit your document, if necessary. And all this without the need for an expensive machine. Pretty cool, huh? GBC ZipBind products. Similar to the company's ProClick spines, GBC ZipBind spines are easy to use and can also be reopened. You can use these spines either alone or with a comb binding machine, making them one of the most versatile binding methods around. ZipBind spines also allow for 360-degree rotation, which makes it much easier to not only read your document, but photocopy it as well. Report covers and binding bars. This is perhaps the best-known method of machineless binding. You likely used report covers and binding bars when you were in school and had to turn in that big report about the solar system to your science teacher at the end of the semester. Well, report covers and binding bars are still a viable binding option, and they're one of the least expensive ones. These covers and bars are available in every color of the rainbow and just like GBC ProClick and ZipBind spines, they allow for editing. All you need to do is just slide the binding bar off the document and you can edit to your heart's content. Three-ring binders. This is an old-school way of binding and one of the easiest. After all, just about everyone has used a binder at some point in his/her life. (Probably about the same time he/she used the report cover and binding bar on the science project.) Binders can be a good binding option because they're inexpensive, easy to get, and you can get them in almost any size and color you could want. Now you know how you can bind your reports, presentations, booklets, catalogs, and other items without using a binding machine. It's easy to do and most of these options are inexpensive, which means you can get a great-looking final product for not a lot of money - and in a short amount of time. The next time you need to produce a nicely bound document, be sure to use GBC ProClick or any of these other non-machine binding methods to help you get your work done!
