Thermal Binding Covers
If you want to make your work look professional, then it is worth investing in thermal binder covers. Knowing how the process works can help you decide if it is right for you. With some college work for example there may be specific rules on binding so it is important to check this before starting any binding work.
Thermal binding works by heating glue down the spine of a cover which then binds together the paper. This process means there is no need to punch holes. You can get your own thermal glue strips to create custom thermal binder covers but this also requires a scoring device and a large format printer. It can also be quite time consuming, so is probably best avoided if you are on a deadline!
You can look online for a variety of covers to fit all types of paper. For example, you may want to use an A3 version to show off an art portfolio, while an A4 one is probably better for a script or presentation.
Some companies offer print on demand, where you can add a specific design to the cover. Others offer window covers, offering a preview of the material inside. This is ideal for a marketing presentation, giving people a sneak peak to tease them into finding out more!
Like any product or service, it is worth shopping around to see the best deal on the covers for your own individual needs. It is quite simple to look online to get preview images and specific dimensions so you can weigh up what products are ideal for your chosen project. Reviews online and demonstration videos can help but be wary of any overly positive or negative reviews as they may be spam.
In short, you should choose the product that suits you and appeals to your own particular needs.
