Frequently Asked Questions

LX Strips are designed specifically for the Fastback 9. They should not be ordered for Fastback 20, 15xs, or 11 machines. This distinction is important because Fastback strip families can have similar colors and widths while using different machine requirements. Confirm the machine label before selecting length, width, or pack quantity. The available Fastback LX Strips should be treated as Fastback 9 supplies rather than general strips for every Fastback system. If several machines are used in the same workplace, store LX inventory separately and label its machine compatibility clearly. This helps prevent an operator from selecting a strip according to color alone. Once Fastback 9 compatibility is established, measure the complete document stack and binding edge so the correct width and length can be chosen.

Base the width on the thickness of the fully assembled document. Include the covers, dividers, coated inserts, and heavier paper when measuring because each component contributes to the spine. Page count is only a guide and can be misleading when different paper weights are used. The strip should wrap and bond the spine correctly without appearing loose or undersized. If the measured thickness falls close to a width limit, prepare a sample using the real materials and test the bind before ordering a large quantity. Avoid compressing the stack while measuring, since it should reflect the document’s natural thickness. Keeping a record of successful widths for repeated jobs can simplify future purchasing. The machine setting must also match the strip and document, so follow the Fastback 9 operating instructions for the selected width.

No. They belong to different machine workflows and should not be treated as substitutes. LX Strips are for the Fastback 9, while Super Strips are designed for Fastback 20, 15xs, and 11 machines. A matching color or similar width does not make one strip suitable for the other system. Before restocking, identify the machine assigned to each work area and keep its supplies clearly separated. Fastback binding machines may support different strip families, so machine compatibility should always come before appearance or package size. Using the correct strip supports proper heating, adhesive activation, and spine formation. If an office replaces or adds a Fastback machine, existing strip inventory should be reviewed instead of assuming it can automatically be used with the new equipment.

Choose the length according to the document’s binding edge. An 11 inch strip is appropriate when binding along the long edge of standard letter paper. An 8.5 inch strip suits projects bound along the shorter edge, including certain landscape documents and half size formats. Turn the assembled document into its finished reading orientation and measure the spine before choosing. This avoids ordering according to the sheet dimensions while overlooking how the document will enter the machine. Confirm that the required width and dark blue finish are offered in the selected length. If your organization produces several formats, store lengths separately and label them by binding edge. A test bind is useful whenever the paper size, orientation, cover material, or spine thickness differs from an established job.

Dark blue provides a restrained spine that can work with clear fronts, neutral backs, printed title sheets, or covers using related brand colors. Decide whether the spine should blend with the cover or create a deliberate contrast. A clear front can keep the title visible while the dark blue spine gives the document a finished edge. The range of binding covers includes materials and finishes suited to different levels of durability and presentation. Confirm that the cover thickness is included when measuring the document because heavier covers can change the required strip width. Before producing a full run, bind one sample and view it under the lighting where the documents will be presented. This helps confirm both the color combination and the finished spine fit.
