VeloBindings

VeloBindings available from MtM Imaging SuppliesVelobinding involves a strip of plastic with rigid tines that are inserted into the holes from the face side of the book, matched with a strip with corresponding holes placed on the back.

The book is then placed into a machine that holds the book tightly while the excess length of the tines is cut and the tips melted to seal the bind.


The term “VeloBind” is a trademark of GBC, but is often used generically to refer to this process, though the term “strip binding” is also used.

With VeloBind, you can add a permanent sleek, professional look to all of your reports and presentations.
