Formax presents the Readywire Premium Office Punching and Binding System, professional documents with a professional finish. Designed to streamline workflow, the Formax Readywire Premium Office Series combines everything you need into one ergonomic workstation. Rugged all-metal construction, precision engineering, and professional features make it easy to produce durable wire-bound documents with a polished finish.
Available in four models, the Readywire M-Series and the Readywire E-Series are available in both 3-to-1 and 2-to-1 pitch. This Premium Office Series offers the ideal solution for virtually any wire-binding application. Choose the simplicity of manual punching or the speed of electric punching along with either a versatile 2-to-1 punch pattern for everything from thin reports to large manuals or a refined 3-to-1 punch pattern for presentations and smaller documents with a premium finish.
The Readywire 2M and 3M feature smooth manual punching, making them ideal for offices and organizations with low to moderate binding volumes. Manual punching offers excellent control, quiet operation, and dependable performance with minimal maintenance. When production demands increase, the Readywire 2E and 3E deliver the speed and convenience of electric punching.
With a simple press of the foot pedal, documents are punched quickly and consistently, reducing operator fatigue while increasing productivity for busy offices, print rooms, and on-demand environments. At the heart of every machine is the Formax Precision Vertical Punching System. Unlike horizontal punch designs, paper rests naturally against the alignment guide before punching.
Individual disengageable punch pins allow you to eliminate partially punched holes, making it easy to bind virtually any standard document size while maintaining a clean professional edge. Tool-free adjustments for the side guide and wire closer make it easy to change document sizes and wire diameters in seconds with virtually no downtime. Once bound, documents open a full 360 degrees and lay completely flat.
Durable wire binding keeps pages secure while turning smoothly through years of frequent use. Selecting the right punch pitch depends on the types of documents you produce. The Readywire 3M and 3E feature a 3 to 1 pitch, producing more holes per inch for a refined professional appearance that's perfect for documents up to 135 sheets using wire sizes up to 5 eighth inch.
The Readywire 2M and 2E feature a 2 to 1 pitch, offering the greatest versatility. The wider hole spacing accommodates wire sizes from small presentation books all the way up to 1 1⁄2 inches, allowing documents up to approximately 340 sheets to be professionally bound. Choosing the right wire is just as important as choosing the right binding system.
Formax Premium Wire is packaged in patented wire sheets that keep every wire organized and easy to remove, eliminating tangled wire and speeding production for a smoother workflow. Whether you choose manual or electric punching, 2 to 1 versatility or the refined appearance of 3 to 1 pitch, every Formax Readywire Premium Office Series machine delivers the precision, reliability and professional results organizations depend on.
