Creating booklets can be fun, but it can also be time-consuming and tedious if you do it by hand. This is especially true if you need to produce a large number of them. That is where a booklet maker can come in handy. These are machines that make it easy to create booklets because they do all the work for you: they staple the paper and then fold it in half, and voila, you have your booklet. However, it can be tough to select the right machine if you don’t know what to look for. That being said, here are some things you need to consider when selecting a booklet making machine for your company.

The first thing you need to consider is paper size. What size of paper are you going to be using? You can use papers of all different size, from letter-sized paper (8.5″ x 11″) to (11″ x 17″) or even larger sizes. Many of the booklet makers on the market can handle letter-size paper, but if you’re going to be using larger sheets or custom sizes, you need to make sure the machine you select can handle it.

You’ll also need to think about the thickness of your booklets. Some machines are capable of only making books that are a few pages long, but there are some higher-end models that can produce longer booklets that are up to 100 pages long. (And, at that point, don’t you think it would be a book rather than a booklet?)

Dahle’s 20813 is a multi-user, high-volume shredder that is designed for use in a busy office setting. In the following review, we take a closer look at the 20813 and list for you what we consider to be some of the machine’s strengths and weaknesses.

Strengths:

1. There a lot of shredders out there with a lot of different levels of capabilities. The 20813 is one of the tougher machines, seeing that it is rated to be used on a continuous basis, and can shred a rather impressive 2,000 to 12,000 sheets of paper in a typical day’s use. For a machine that is designed to be placed in a common area and used by several different people per day, this machine would be a great fit.

2. The 20813 also features a sixteen inch paper feed that is capable of accommodating not only letter and legal sized pages, but wide computer printouts too. If you are going to be destroying larger documents on a regular basis, you’ll find that the larger feed opening will save you the trouble of having to fold or cut your sheets before feeding them through. Plus, it will also help to cut down on misfeeds and jams that occur when your sheets aren’t aligned properly before you feed them into the shredder.

When it comes to taking care of your roll laminator, there is really only one thing to concern yourself with. But you should repeat it like a mantra every time you use, look at, or even think about your laminating machine. Are you ready? Here goes: Keep the rollers clean.

No, you don’t need to clean the rollers every time you use the machine, (a good rule of thumb is about four times a year) but the more you think about doing so, the more often it will get done, and the longer your machine will last. This is especially important to keep in mind for large organizations such as schools and churches and in any situation where the machine will see heavy use from many different users of varying levels of experience.

There is no hard and fast rule as to how often the rollers should be cleaned, but it is important to note that the longer you wait, the harder the adhesive becomes, and the more difficult it is to remove. Also important to keep in mind is that you should never, ever, use sharp objects like Exact-o knives or any other kind of blade to scrape the rollers clean. The rollers are made of softer rubber like material and any sort of cut or ding will lead to even more future problems.

Unibind is one of the best binding methods available. Their machines can help you create beautiful documents, especially when you use Unibind supplies such as the Steelback spine and SteelCrystal cover. Binding with these machines is pretty easy to do, even if you have never worked with a binding machine before. Nonetheless, it is always helpful to receive some guidance when working with a new machine. This article will walk you through the Unibind binding process in four easy steps. So continue reading and get ready to get the most out of your Unibind machine!

1. First, you will need to get your document ready, whether that means you spell-check it for the tenth time, do a last-minute rewrite, or finally print your document. Make sure your document is all ready to go. (Hint: you can bind paper of almost any weight with Unibind, from 20 lb. and up. You can even use photo-quality paper.)

2. Next, you will need to select the right spine for your booklet. Unibind spines and covers are available in several different sizes, with the largest measuring 36 millimeters or 1.5 inches. (With this spine, you can bind a document containing 340 pages.) To find out which size spine you should use, you can measure your document with a ruler. (If you do this, make sure you measure the thickness in millimeters since all Unibind spines are measured in this unit.) If you’d rather not use a ruler, Unibind has a spine measurer that can help you accurately determine which size spine to use. This tool isn’t included with Unibind machines or supplies, but you can pick one up for $5.00. Just be sure to round up when measuring your document because it is impossible to bind your pages with a too-small spine.
