Speaker 1: Your presentations, proposals and reports have less than seven seconds to make a lasting impression. The contents that took weeks or months to prepare will be judged by the cover, making or breaking your credibility in those first crucial seconds. With Velobind and Surebind Systems from GBC, your documents make a dramatic statement about who you are and how you do business. Velobind and Surebind are GBC’s two varieties of strip binding with a similar finished appearance and only differ in the arrangement of the pins. Surebind offers the added advantage of fitting into the Surebind or plastic comb binding punch patterns. Both Surebind and Velobind offer dozens of unique and elegant ways to create tamper-resistant documents with a slim profile for easy mailing. The wide array of strip colors assure that your documents will present the professional image your company demands. Custom imprinted hard covers project elegance with library quality binding. Soft covers impress with distinctive paper stocks that set you apart from the crowd. Using hot knife technology, the Velobind and Surebind processes are simple yet ensure a secure bind. Today’s business requirements can range from a presentation of a few pages to a book with hundreds of pages. The System Three Pro easily and attractively binds up to 750 sheets thick. Impressive, long-lasting and highly effective presentations, proposals and reports are created in just seconds and are sure to put your company in the most professional light.

Easy to Use – Binding documents with the System Three Pro is as easy as one-two-three. First, lay the receiving strip on the bind surface. Second, align the document in the punch throat against the edge guide. Press the punch button then remove the punched document and align it on top of the receiving strip already in place. Insert the strip with pins into the top of the book. Finally, ensure that the system is set to the appropriate binding speed and lower the pressure bar. The automatic bind cycle takes over from here. The result – an impressive presentation that stands out head and shoulders above the rest.

Productivity – The System Three Pro delivers outstanding productivity due to its superior punching and binding capacities. Creating books up to 3 inches or 7.5 cm thick is easy, requiring only three different size binding elements to be inventoried. The System Three Pro punches up to 30 sheets of 20-pound bond paper per lift. The auto punch selector allows the operator a choice of three different punching options – push button, automatic punch or foot pedal. The adjustable binding speed offers flexibility when binding documents 1 inch or 25 mm or smaller, which increases productivity up to 50%. And because the punch and the bind features can be used simultaneously, the system allows the operator to continuously punch paper while binding a single document.

Versatility – Binding books that are odd-sized isn’t a problem with the System Three Pro. It will punch and bind documents as long as 14 inches 35 cm or as short as 8 inches or 20 cm. A slight adjustment of the binding edge guide for perfect paper alignment is all that is needed. Documents with a large number of pages are a snap too. This system can bind documents up to 750 sheets thick with one simple motion. No other binding style offers the ability to bind up to 3 inches or 7.5 cm in a single book.

Durability – The System Three Pro is designed to stand up to years of use. GBC uses quality components, like die-cast aluminum cooling elements, pressure bars and strip supports. The Teflon-coated cutting blades are made from steel that is designed to withstand high temperatures. And the punch motor delivers 300 inch-pound of torque to the hardened steel punch pins. In the unlikely event that a problem does occur, you can count on GBC’s network of highly trained technicians to get your system back up and running.

Safety – GBC’s commitment to safety has led us to have our systems tested by the world’s leading safety agencies. You can rest assure that GBC equipment fully complies with all of these agencies’ requirements. For example, the North American version of the System Three Pro meets all UL and Canadian standard requirements as certified by CSA. International versions of the System Three Pro have full safety licensing from TUV product service and carry the CE mark as well.

Satisfied Customer – There are thousands of satisfied GBC customers who love the look of GBC’s strip binding and how easy the systems are to use. But you don’t have to take our word for it, let Laura Wellman from Kinko’s tell you how impressed she is.

Speaker 2: We like The System Three Pro for Velobinding, Surebinding because it’s so easy to use. It’s intuitive. We have a lot of co-workers, we’re training them on them and they can intuitively start going on how to bind a book as well as we like it because it’s so fast. When we have a larger book, we just put the strip through all at one time. We don’t have to actually load it on bit by bit, and from that, we just go with it so co-workers really enjoy using it. We would get co-workers who specifically want to do Velobinding because it is so fast and they feel like they’re getting more done in their time binding.

Staff Review

GBC SureBind System 3 Pro Binding Machine Review

Overview:

  • The GBC Surebind System 3pro is a heavy duty electric strip binding machine.
  • This machine uses ten pin GBC Surebind Binding strips
  • Provides a secure bind that is tamper proof. This is preferred by lawyers, government agencies and for use with sensitive proposals.
  • Similar to GBC Velobind but uses a different type of strip.

Features/ Strengths:

  • Will bind documents up to 3" thick. This is one of the only binding systems that can handle documents this thick.
  • Provides a highly secure bind. If you want to add or remove pages you need to cut the strip of the document using a debinding tool and then rebind it. The Surebind System 3 includes a debinder tool.
  • Uses foot pedal operation for punching. This allows you to hold your documents with both hands. Also offers a button for users who don't like the foot pedal or for occasional use.
  • Includes an electric punch that is ideal for moderate use. Punch is rated to 22 sheets per lift. Realistically more like 20 sheets.
  • You can use the Surebind system with documents that have been punched for Comb Binding. This gives you an option for rebinding your books and reports with a higher end look and feel.

Limitations/Weaknesses:

  • The strips are harder to find for the Surebind system than for many other binding systems.
  • You can only use genuine GBC Ten pin strips with this system. There are no generic alternatives. There are also limitations to the sizes and colors that the strips are available in. Strips are available in Black for 1", 2" and 3" books. and in White and Navy for 1" books. Strips are also available for 8.5" (landscape or half letter size) binding. In theory the machine is capable of legal sized binding but strips are not currently available.
  • Won't bind custom lengths.

Construction:

  • Heavy duty plastic case. This machine is large and is not portable. It weighs almost 100lbs.
  • Convenient design with the punching unit on the bottom and the binding unit stacked on top.
  • The hot knife unit can eventually need replacement on these machines. Parts are readily available.

Recommendation:

  • Ideal for users looking to bind documents larger than 2" thick.
  • Great for applications where security is important. Documents bound with surebind are tamper resistant and difficult to copy since they don't open flat.
  • Highly professional look and feel for reports.
  • Great for giving comb bound reports a new look and feel.
  • Not great for organizations looking for a lot of color options or to bind documents in different lengths.
