This is the Pro-Bind 1000 Thermal Binding Machine!

Now with thermal binding you can create you own custom soft or hardcovers or use plain standard ones.

Now, open your thermal binding cover.  Observe the glue strip in the center—you always want your pages within the width of this.  You can see it easier on this hardcover. Make sure your pages do not exceed past this width.

But it’s a simple as jogging your pages evenly together and inserting them against the glue strip. Close the book up, jog the pages again, and while holding the pages still insert the spine of your book into the machine.

On the front, push the appropriate button—in this case I am making a soft cover book.  It takes about a minute, and the machine will notify you when to remove the book.  Jog the pages down again to make sure the pages settle nicely in the glue.

It’s actually important that you place the book in the cooling rack until the glue hardens.  This way you know the pages are always secured well.

A nice thing about thermal binding is that you can bind several books at a time, depending on your size of books.

The Pro-Bind 1000 can also bind together hardcover books up to 3\4 inch thick.

Again, jog your pages evenly, align your pages against the glue, then ensure the pages are even when the book is closed.

Insert the book with the spine down and push the “hard cover” button.  This takes twice as long as soft covers.

Now, for best results—and it is highly recommended for hardcovers—immediately after taking your book out of the machine, place it into a hard cover crimper until the glue cools.

This way the pages are pressed together evenly and tightly within the covers.

If you are looking for a very professional and well finished look for you books, then customizing a thermal cover may be exactly what you are looking for.

This is the Pro-Bind Hard Cover Crimper!

After completing a hardcover heat cycle in you thermal binding machine, jog the pages down and immediately insert your hard cover into this crimper—of course I’m going to explain why.

As you can see, push on the handle to open the crimper and insert your book.

The crimper is rounded on both ends to create a nice finish on the spine of your book.

You can adjust the back by pulling it out and repositioning it in the other slots.

Now you can crimp up to two inch thick books!

A good portion of hardcovers have three lines of glue. The one in the center holds all your pages in, and the two side ones helps hold the covers together.

If you only had one strip in the center then your binding would open and expose the glued ends, but the side strips help close the spine and support the binding. (The crimper makes sure the book hardens this way).

Here is a finished book, with nicely rounded and crimped ends, and you can see that the glue is hidden and the covers and spine are nicely supported.

Questions & Answers

Thank you for your question. The Pro-Bind 1000 would work with a half sized book. We do not have any 5.5"x8.5" covers as a stock item. It would have to be something that you custom make and use glue strip or have custom covers made. Reach out directly to our Customer Service department at 1-800-944-4573 and we can discuss the options for getting custom covers made.
