    MyBinding.com Partners with Akiles to Offer the CoilMac ECP Series Coil Binding Punch

    by

    CoilMac-ECP-Series-bm-content-1MyBinding.com recently began offering the Akiles CoilMac ECP Series Binding Machines

    HILLSBORO, OR, April 5, 2012 – MyBinding.com, one of the country’s leading Internet retailers of binding machines and supplies, recently added the Akiles CoilMac ECP series binding equipment to their website.

    MyBinding.com has a long history of working with Akiles. Currently they offer a huge selection of Akiles binding machines, laminators, corner rounders, supplies, and more. The decision to add the CoilMac ECP series to their extensive Akiles inventory was an easy one for MyBinding.com.

    “We’ve had a great relationship with Akiles for many years,” said Jeff McRitchie, Vice President of Marketing. “Adding the Akiles CoilMac ECP rounds out the CoilMac lineup and brings another option to our customers.”

    The ECP is a powerful electric punch that can handle up to 25 sheets of 20lb paper at once. It is available in two different models, a regular and a plus version. Both offer a side margin control knob, punching margin control, and an open-throat design to handle virtually any length document. The regular ECP punches round holes in a 4:1 pitch pattern and has five disengageable die pins for clean punching of standard paper sizes. The ECP+ has the added benefits of punching oval holes for easier coil insertion and fully disengageable die pins for punching any size paper, standard or custom.

    “The ECP is a great addition to a Finish@Coil or other inserter,” said McRitchie. “When used in conjunction with a standalone inserter, the ECP can increase your production speeds when working with higher volumes of documents.”

    Akiles offers a full line of coil binding systems in their CoilMac line to meet a wide range of customer needs. Each of the five models are available in both regular and plus version. The CoilMac EPI is most similar to the ECP only offers both punching and inserting. However, the ECP can be used with an inserter for simultaneous punching and binding, resulting in higher efficiency. Akiles products on the whole are constructed from heavy duty steel and offer high quality results. These industrial devices are sturdy, built to last, and backed by warranty.

    “Akiles is a great manufacturer to work with,” said McRitchie. “They provide exceptional products that we are proud to offer to our customers. We look forward to many more years of working with them.”

    Now that summer is over, it’s time to think about the new school year. You probably needwhite-round-ring-sm1-ma to get some new supplies whether it’s a new binder or even a binding machine so you can make your reports look fantastic. Here are 5 tools you’ll need to be a success this year. Check them out:

    1. A high-quality pencil sharpener. Even if you’ve left elementary school far behind, pencils can still come in handy, especially if you’re taking a math or art class. If you use pencils, you’re going to need a pencil sharpener to go along with them. Swingline has some terrific ones to choose from, such as the electric 29965, a compact sharpener that can be taken with you anywhere. It operates quietly so you can use it in class and not disturb your classmates. Other great pencil sharpeners are available from other manufacturers including Dahle.
    2. A stapler. If there’s one thing you never want to do, it’s handing in an assignment that hasn’t been stapled. That can really irritate your teacher and possibly even have an impact on your grade. Thus, you should always have a stapler handy. One that you can carry around with you is the Swingline Tot Slim. This device can staple up to 12 sheets of paper and it’s small enough to be convenient. It comes with a clip so you can attach it to your backpack. You can even choose from a number of different colors.
    3. A three-ring binder. You’re going to need to keep your notes and papers organized, so you’ll want to procure a good three-ring binder. There are lots available includes ones from popular manufacturers such as Wilson Jones and Avery. You should also be sure to pick up some dividers to make organizing your documents easier.
    4. A three-hole punch. Unless you’re planning on using pre-punched paper, you’re going to need a three-hole punch so you can prepare your documents for storage in a binder. There are a lot of punches to choose from including both lightweight and heavy-duty models. A good desktop model is the Swingline 74008 which is designed for personal use. It can punch up to 6 sheets at a time and it’s affordably priced so you can save some money.
    5. A binding machine. Finally, you should consider purchasing a binding machine so you can produce reports and term papers that will impress your teachers. There are a number of inexpensive devices including the GBC CombBind C55 (a comb binding machine) and the Akiles RubiCoil (a color coil binding device). Both of these machines will enable you to produce professional-looking documents so you can get the grade you deserve. The C55 is even portable so you can use it anywhere you need to.
