Akiles OffiBind Comb Punch & Binding Equipment (Discontinued)

Description of the Akiles OffiBind

The Akiles OffiBind is a comb punch and binding machine that's both compact and affordable. With its small size and manual operation the Offibind is a great choice for smaller offices, print shops, even classroom and home use. It comes with three disengageable die pins for preventing half-punches and punching multiple document sizes, such as the letter and A4 size. On the back of the machine, there is a depth of margin control knob, which can be adjusted for larger and smaller documents. Other features include the punch margin control, which creates an accurate punch-margin depth for each comb size and keeps documents from tearing, punch and binding handle, waste bin, and side margin control for evenly-centered punches. The OffiBind also comes with a comb selector table to ensure the right choice of the appropriate comb size in relation to the document thickness.

To create a comb bound document, first adjust the settings on the machine according to the document's size, place the folded end of the cover into the machine, and push the lever down to thoroughly punch the document. Once you have punched the cover you can begin punching your documents. The Offiibind can punch up to 10 sheets at once. After punching is completed, you are ready to bind the project. Place the comb bind over the teeth at the back of the machine. The comb's teeth must face up, while the folder faces down. Push the lever up to open the teeth, and then slide the project through the comb's teeth. Pull the lever down and back up to finish the project.
