Product Description

The incredible new Akiles FlexiPunch-E is a versatile modular binding punch that is designed as an affordable option for offices that need to use multiple different styles of binding.

The FlexiPunch-E allows you to create up to four different hole patterns using easy to change modular punching dies. That means that you can bind a document with spiral coil, then minutes later you can do a project with either wire or comb binding.

Akiles FlexiPunch-E Demo Video

Transcript :

Welcome to MyBinding video. This is the FlexiPunch-E from Akiles. It doesnâ€™t look like much like this and thatâ€™s because all the magic happens in the interchangeable die. Thereâ€™s a total of 4 binding dies to choose from, all sold separately but swapping them out is almost ridiculously easy and on purchase you get to choose one die that you want. These are shipped in 2 boxes â€“ one with the machine and one with the die. Keep in mind that this is a punching machine, so if you find yourself asking â€œwhat next?â€_x009d_ you might want to consider a different machine but if youâ€™re looking for a quick and easy way to make several different types of punches, then the FlexiPunch-E is a good machine to consider. We also have helpful how-to videos for each interchangeable die. And that is the Akiles FlexiPunch-E. For more demos, reviews and how-toâ€™s, go to MyBinding.com.

Super Awesome

This punching machine is so wonderful. If you want to save stress on your hands and arms this is the way to go. I had previously used a manual punching machine by Akiles, and though this one is dramatically more expensive, it is COMPLETELY worth the extra dollars. It is so easy to use, straightforward, and right out of the box works flawlessly. I bought it with 4:1 coil die, and 3:1 wire die and it is sooooo easy to switch out the dies, and slide out the pins you don't want to punch. Adjusting the side margins is painless, and overall it is just spectacular and highly and easily customizable for the things that I make. I can't tell you just how much I love this machine over the manual machine. It is a beast, so you do want to set it up where you're most likely to use it, but as far as the amount of space it takes up, it's really about the same as the manual machine. The fact that I can punch about 15 sheets at a time might seem slow, but the effort I save my body is great, and it actually goes faster than you might expect, especially if you have everything organized in your workspace to streamline punching and binding.
