The sizes and colors of binding supplies

  • The sizes and colors of binding supplies available for use with this machine are fairly limited. GBC Proclick binding spines are available in three different sizes: 5/16" (small), 1/2" (medium) and 5/8" (large). Unfortunately there are no supplies in sizes larger than 5/8". The MBT Fora,number of colors that are available for binding with this machine are also limited. Users must choose between Black, Navy Blue, White and Frost spines. Companies who want to bind other sizes and colors with this machine will either need to order specialty 3:1 pitch spiral coil or will need to select a different binding machine.
  • The Proclick P210E is designed for punching letter sized documents on the eleven inch side. Organizations that need a MBT Staka Sandals,machine to bind half letter sheets, landscape documents, A4 or legal sheet sizes will find that this machine is not a good fit for their needs. The P210 can punch 11" x 8.5" sheets and 8.75" x 11.25" oversized covers. Attempting to use it to punch any other sizes will more than likely result in frustration.
  • Although this machine has an electric binding punch that can handle up to fifteen sheets of paper it should not be used to punch more than one or two clear covers or plastic sheets at a time. Attempting to punch a stack of clear covers or poly sheets will quite likely ruin the punching motor or dull the dies on the hole punch. Overpunching is not covered under the one year warranty provided by GBC on this machine.

Recommendation:

  • The GBC P210e is one of the least expensive 3:1 pitch electric punching machines available on the market and is ideal for small and medium sized organizations that need to bind documents with Proclick.
  • This machine is easy to use and offers some great features such as the guide right document table and the Proclick spine hanger.
  • However, this machine is not designed for high volume applications, large documents or custom document sizes. Organizations MBT Boost Shoes,that need these types of features will need to look for a larger more feature rich binding system.
