Top 5 Brochure Makers

In this model, the number of sheets perforated at a time cannot exceed 8, so it is better to use it in organizations with a very small amount of work. Bulros-A8 is also suitable for home use - it is inexpensive, lightweight (1.8 kg), has a convenient carrying handle. Perforation is produced by mechanical action by pressing the lever by hand. It does not require much effort, so even a fragile woman can take over the functions of an office binder.

The binding thickness is 150 sheets, a plastic spring is required for binding. Like the folder, this is a consumable item that, due to its prevalence, is easy to buy at the nearest stationery store. Their diameters are standard and range from 8 (for binders of 20‒45 sheets) to 19 mm (for brochures of 130‒150 sheets). According to reviews, plastic springs have many advantages - multi-colored design and a wide range, low cost, the ability to change the content of the finished brochure and reuse consumables.

Another simple and affordable binding machine is the Fellowes Starlet 2+. This is the best option when the need for binding arises several times a month, and the size of the brochure does not exceed 120 liters. Perforation is made in small packs up to 12 sheets. Despite the small one-time volume, the manufacturer took care of reducing labor intensity and increasing the efficiency of two operations by dividing the control levers - one for punching, the second for the actual binding.

The model is equipped with two patented mechanisms - a format selector and a diameter selector. The first one is responsible for the most accurate alignment of multi-format sheets along the edge, and the second one makes it easy to select the spring diameter depending on the thickness of the document. The binder is encouraged to use plastic springs. Although they do not allow you to open the binder 360 °, they are great to create creative booklet options.

Rayson SD-2501 is called a reliable assistant by accountants, clerks, professional binders and archivists who are tired of sewing the results of their work the old fashioned way - with an awl and thread. This model serves many people for 5-6 years, it is so thoroughly made. Completely metal, stable, with a long bed and a large hole punch (up to 25 sheets at a time), it really surprises with its productivity. The volume of the block bound for 1 time can reach 500 sheets, and the maximum used spring diameter is 51 mm.

Since the thickest paper stacks are supposed to be stitched, the design provides 3 margin control modes - 5, 6 and 9 mm. The increase in distance should be directly proportional to the thickness of the block, so that the sheets do not come off when opened frequently. To work with non-standard formats, the function of disabling the extreme punch knives is useful. Judging by the reviews, the device is praised quite deservedly, because with so many pluses, only one minus is called - an impressive weight of 12.5 kg.

Sales agents of this company proudly declare: "There are Renz booklet makers in the world and all the rest." It seems that this is one of those very cases when advertising does not go too far. The Renz brand is truly famous for the quality of its office equipment, and the fact that its production facilities are located in Germany only strengthens consumer confidence. And it is justified: Renz SRW 360 can be called the best metal spring binding machine today.

The main advantage of the model, indicated in the reviews, is high performance. It punches max25 sheets in one stroke and stitches up to 150 sheets at a time. These are lower rates than plastic ones, but the resulting binding looks more professional, is more convenient to use (the book can be opened 360°) and lasts much longer. The purchase is all the more justified because the booklet makes it possible to turn off the punches, adjust the perforation depth and work with documents of any format.

No other machine handles a large variety of documents better than the GBC MultiBind 230E. The powerful multifunctional machine binds A4/A5 documents on both plastic and metal springs. In the first option, it is allowed to perforate up to 30 sheets in one go and hem up to 450 sheets; in the second, only 120 sheets can be bound at a time.Already this is enough to consider the model ideal for frequent use in organizations with a large workflow.

But the most important difference between the brochurer and other participants in the rating is the electric drive. With it, the daily work of a bookbinder becomes comfortable and fast. The operator does not need to make physical efforts, study complex manuals, and often repeat routine actions to remove paper waste. All the necessary steps are displayed in the form of easy-to-read and memorable icons, documents are automatically separated and centered, and the waste container can be easily removed and cleaned.
