Product Review

GBC Velobind System Two Electric Binding Machine Review

Overview:

  • The GBC Velobind System Two is a hot knife binding system that is designed to permanently bind documents using eleven pin binding strips. It uses heat to rivet the pages of your document in place for a secure and permanent bind.
  • This machine offers electric punching and binding and is a great step up from the v800pro which uses a manual punch.
  • The Velobind System 2 is designed for binding documents that are up to two inches thick with a highly secure and professional bind.
  • In fact, the security and professionalism that this system offers makes it incredibly popular with government agencies, lawyers, law offices, accountants and binderies.

Features/ Strengths:

  • The Velobind System two includes a push button activated electric punch. This is extremely helpful for increasing productivity and reducing operator fatigue. All you need to do is load your pages into the machine and press the button. It can punch about 20 sheets at a time.
  • The System 2 also offers an electric hot knife binding head. This system takes your eleven pin Velobind binding strips and rivets them in place. It provides a permanent bind that is highly secure and tamper resistant. This is great for sensitive documents that you don’t want to be edited after they are distributed.
  • This system is capable of binding documents that are up to two inches thick. This is great for organizations that sometimes need to bind larger documents. Strips for this machine are available in your choice of either one inch or two inch thicknesses. One inch strips can bind any size of document up to 1” thick and two inch strips can bind any thickness up to 2”. This means that you only need to stock one or two sizes of supplies for use with this machine. Just imagine the space and money that you can save.
  • Documents bound with the Velobind System Two are designed to look great. This system uses a two thin plastic strips that run along the binding edge of your document. These strips help to frame your document and provide an elegant and professional appearance for your reports and presentations.

Limitations/Weaknesses:

  • For many organizations the ability to bind documents that are up to two inches thick is more than adequate. However, the Velobind binding system is capable of binding documents up to three inches thick. If your organization thinks that it may need to bind documents between two and three inches then it might be a good idea to consider the Velobind System Three Pro.
  • Documents bound with this system are permanently riveted in place. This is great for security but makes editing a pain. The only way to edit documents bound with the Velobind System 2 is to cut the strips from your documents and then rebind them. The best way to remove a strip and open a Velobound document is to use the Velobind Debinder Tool. After you have debound your document you can edit it as needed and you can then use your system to rebind the pages.
  • Although this system is capable of binding documents up to two inches thick, the supplies that are available for this machine can somewhat limit the abilities of this machine. Depending on the size of your document and the thickness you need to bind you may be limited in the colors that are available. As your documents get thicker the number of binding choices that you will have will get smaller. In fact, some sizes are just not available. For instance, there are no legal sized two inch binding strips available on the market. If you want to bind legal sized documents you will need to stay under one inch.

Recommendation:

  • The GBC Velobind System Two is an excellent professional binding system for medium sized companies.
  • The electric punching and binding mechanisms on this machine make it easy to use and fast for creating high quality documents.
  • This system can create presentations and proposals up to two inches thick and provides a highly professional look for your documents.
  • However, organizations that need to bind documents thicker than two inches may want to look at the larger Velobind System Three pro.
