Hardcover Yearbook

School will be back in session soon so it's
time for all you teachers and administrators to start thinking about
what supplies they'll need for the next year. One product that's
definitely worth consideration is the Pro-Bind 1000 Hardcover Yearbook
Binding Kit from MyBinding.com. Here's a look at its strengths and
weaknesses. Check them out.

Strengths:

• This kit comes with just about everything you need to create your own hardcover yearbooks. Here is what's included:
  • The
    Pro-Bind 1000 thermal binding machine, a device that warms up in just 3
    minutes and offers one-touch operation. This machine can handle binding
    spines that are up to 3/4” wide, the perfect size for a number of
    different types of documents.
  • The Pro-Bind crimper. This
    device will help you finish off your documents. After your books have
    been bound, just stick them one at a time into the crimper to secure the
    binding and straighten the spine. (Note: both the Pro-Bind 1000 machine
    and crimper have one-year warranties.)
  • Fifty hardcover
    binding spines. These spines are available in three different
    thicknesses (1/8”, 1/4”, 3/8”) and four finishes (black, white, navy and
    maroon kidskin). These binding supplies are designed for 8.5” x 11”
    paper and can be foil-stamped for an additional fee. If you need more
    than 50, you can definitely order some.
• This
  package makes it possible for you to design your own customized yearbook
  in every way. You can use software programs like Photoshop and Quark to
  give your books the look you want.
• Using a kit such as this
  makes it possible to get students involved in a variety of ways: graphic
  design (including page layout), photography, writing, and so on. It's a
  great way to get students involved in something positive that will look
  great on their college applications.
• This package is
  reasonably priced and can be yours for less than $1,000.00. In a time of
  budget cuts and other financial disasters, a product like this can help
  you save money while still enabling you to create yearbooks that
  students will treasure for years to come. In fact, if you sent your
  yearbooks out to be printed, you would be paying about $60.00 to $100.00
  per book. If you use the items in this kit, you can create a yearbook
  for about $15.00 a piece. Those savings are significant.

Weaknesses:

• Since this package doesn't come with design software,
  you're going to need to have your own on-hand. This could be a bit
  pricey if you don't already have some. (Nonetheless, investing in this
  type of software is still cheaper than outsourcing the production of
  your yearbooks.)
• The Pro-Bind 1000 can only bind one document
  at a time, thus this package is better suited for smaller schools (i.e.
  those with 350 students or less). However, it only takes one minute to
  bind a document, so you'll be able to bind a few hundred in a few hours.

Overall,
MyBinding.com's Yearbook Binding Kit has a lot to offer, especially
smaller schools that are looking to save money on yearbook production.
This package contains everything you need to begin working on your
school's yearbook including the Pro-Bind 1000 thermal binding machine
and a box of binding supplies. Using this kit will give you complete
control over the entire process and you can even get students involved.
Plus, this package will help you save a lot of money, even if you need
to purchase photo editing and/or design software. To start creating your
own yearbooks, pick up the Pro-Bind 1000 Hardcover Yearbook Binding Kit
today.
