Creating booklets can be fun, but it can also be time-consuming and tedious if you do it by hand. This is especially true if you need to produce a large number of them. That is where a booklet maker can come in handy. These are machines that make it easy to create booklets because they do all the work for you: they staple the paper and then fold it in half, and voila, you have your booklet. However, it can be tough to select the right machine if you don't know what to look for. That being said, here are some things you need to consider when selecting a booklet making machine for your company.
The first thing you need to consider is paper size. What size of paper are you going to be using? You can use papers of all different size, from letter-sized paper (8.5" x 11") to (11" x 17") or even larger sizes. Many of the booklet makers on the market can handle letter-size paper, but if you're going to be using larger sheets or custom sizes, you need to make sure the machine you select can handle it.
You'll also need to think about the thickness of your booklets. Some machines are capable of only making books that are a few pages long, but there are some higher-end models that can produce longer booklets that are up to 100 pages long. (And, at that point, don't you think it would be a book rather than a booklet?)
A primary reason for purchasing a booklet maker is to help you save time. Therefore, it's important to look for a speedy machine. Look for the machine that can produce as many books as possible in a short amount of time. Just keep in mind that sometimes the manufacturer will make it sound like a machine can produce more booklets in an hour than it actually can.
Stapling locations are an important thing to look at when buying a booklet maker. Some machines only have two stapling heads, whereas others have three or more. A lot of machines have fixed stapling heads, but there are some units that have adjustable ones so you have more control over where your booklets are stapled.
Finally, some booklet makers have other capabilities that make them useful for not only making booklets, but performing other office tasks, as well. For instance, some machines can double as paper folders or staplers. Choosing a machine with these types of capabilities can help you save money because you won't need to purchase other machines or equipment to do these tasks for you. This can be especially helpful for smaller companies that don't have the budget for several different office machines.
When choosing a booklet maker, it's important to consider the size of the paper you're using and the thickness of your booklets, as well as where you want the booklets stapled. You should also consider the machine's speed and if can perform double-duty as a paper folder or stapler. If you keep these things in mind and look for a machine that you can afford, you're well on your way to buying the best booklet maker you can get.
