Coverbind CPB1 Staff Review
The Coverbind CPB1 Perfect Binding Machines is a sturdy, robust, perfect binding machine to add to your arsenal of tools. This perfect binder makes it easy to bind hundreds of paperback books an hour, with just the touch of a button. It’s never been faster or more efficient to create soft-cover books, novels, manuals, and more on-demand thanks to the powerful CPB1 perfect binder.
The Best Things About the Coverbind CPB1
The best things about the Coverbind CPB1 Perfect Binding Machine are its ability to produce 360 books every hour without needing a lot of space or training. The LCD panel is streamlined so you can quickly and simply adjust cover stocks, spin positions, book height, and more when you need to. It’s easy enough that anyone on your staff can bind books, without needing special training.
With the Coverbind CPB1, I get solid binding and finishing thanks to side gluing on the back of the spine. Perfect binding also produces a flat spine that may be printed on, which is another advantage. Being able to add details like the book's title and author to display on the spine, is something that adds a unique touch of personalization to the book.
The binding process has never been more customizable and you have complete control of the entire binding process. All the way down to the height of the book, cover stock, angled options, spin positions, and more. With the pneumatic/automatic clamping, specialized nipping, and finished off with essential glue coverage, you get a securely bound book.
The Things You Should Consider Before Buying the Coverbind CPB1 Table-Top Perfect Binding Machine
While the CPB1 is a swift and simple binding machine to produce perfectly bound books, you may not need it if you are a low-volume print shop. The CPB1 is quite large, so make sure you have a designated workspace for it to sit on. If you don't have a table or workspace designated for this table-top binder, grab the optional stand for it to sit on. This wouldn't fit comfortably in a small office or classroom.
If you have the dedicated workspace and would like to have a dedicated air compressor tank, side gluer tank, and dust collector bin, you check out the big brother machine, the CPB2SG. The CPB2SG comes on its own stand and uses a mill blade (instead of a roughing blade) which comes in handy if you want better glue application by leveling the paper across the bottom before the glue is applied.
The Bottom Line — Is the Coverbind CPB1 a Good Buy?
If you're an on-demand print shop or plant that needs to bind hundreds of books an hour, the Coverbind CPB1 Table-Top Perfect Binding Machine is a great fit. With efficient controls, saturated glue coverage, and automated clamping, your books will come out neat and quick. Set up is simple and you can get to binding straight away with easy controls on the LCD. Set up the machine according to your exact task requirements and begin instantly binding high-quality softcover books, novels, manuals, and more. Increase your bookbinding production output with the Coverbind CPB1 Perfect Binding today.
