Thermal Binding Uses Heat to Provide a Sturdy, Neat Binding

Heat-fused cloth or plastic strips make thermal binding a strong binding method. For tape binding (Fastback is one brand name) a heavy cloth strip is fused to the edge of the document. It provides a very sturdy binding with a neat appearance and allows documents to open flat. Use with or without covers.

Velo binding uses two plastic strips, heat sealed, to bind the documents. Desktop machines are available for home or office use if you expect to be doing a lot of thermal binding.
