When it comes to binding machines, GBC Surebind was originally created to provide a competitive alternative to Velobind (before GBC bought the Velobind brand). It uses a ten pin configuration that actually works with the 19-hole pattern produced by a plastic comb binding punch. However, for the bind to look right you will need to adjust the depth of punch margin to be close to the edge of your document if using a comb bind punch. The other major advantage that this style brings to the table is that it is highly tamper resistant. The machine will actually rivet your documents together using hot knife technology. If you want to edit a document bound with SureBind you will need to cut the spine off the document using a debinding tool and then rebind it. This tamper resistance makes this a popular binding style for legal and government applications.

Welcome to MyBinding video. Velobind & Surebind are great binding systems with its clean and simple look and a potential for high level security, it’s a great choice. At MyBinding.com, we carry all the GBC system 1, 2, and 3 Pros. We also carry some small 4 pin punch and go types of systems. Both the V50 and the V110E are very popular and make for quick easy binding. After GBC acquired Velobind, they continued to produce the system 1, 2, and 3 Pro. This is an 11-pin hot knife binding style. It has a high level security because the machines are expensive and should somebody try to edit the documents, they would need the same machine to rebind the book. And it’s called hot knife because it’s a heating blade that cuts off the excess pins and creates a small binding strip that is securely riveted. The 4-pin documents are not very secure and they can be unbound and rebound with a simple tool which is very convenient for most documents as editing is inevitability. The 11-pin or hot knife documents cannot be edited so easily. Simply, this razorblade rips off all of the rivets and you have to rebind it with the same machine. There are plenty of Velobind Surebind strips and supplies on our website but feel free to give us a call or instant chat with us so we can help you find exactly what you need and the machine that is best for your purposes. There are also a few brands on the market that work hand in hand with the Velobind system. There are less expensive and sometimes have seeming unique features. But whatever it is you need, hardcover, soft cover, various colors of strips, we have it for you. Just give us a call, a click, or a chat.
