Some Suggestions On Buying Punches And Dies

By Harriett Crosby


There are companies and business establishments that require large volumes of books and documents to be punched and bounded. This requires for careful preparation and thorough research to procure the correct machine that will suit the needs and specifications of the company. Buying punches and dies is not very easy so here are some suggestions to be considered when buying such equipment.

For instance, it is highly imperative to determine the volume of binding jobs that the organization needs in order to get the right machine. The machine's punching capacity should be higher than the company's punching needs. It is not advisable to fit in the maximum capacity of the machine with every punch as this will shorten the life of the machine.

The machine's maximum punch length should also be taken into consideration when getting one. For companies with punching needs only for legal size documents, then it is best to get a machine with throat size of fourteen inches. Meanwhile, companies with mostly large size documents to be punched, it is more feasible to go for the puncher with open throat.

Note also that changing of dies is easier done on the sides for those punching machines with modular binding punches. In just a few minutes, the dies will be changed in and out easily every time there is a need to do so. On the other hand machines with bolts and thumbs are quite inconvenient for those companies with frequent need to change dies as these types of machines will take longer to replace dies.

There are also machines with horizontal binding orientation and there are machines with vertical orientation. The difference between the two is that the documents are placed at the front part of the machine with horizontal orientation while they are placed on top of the machine for vertical orientation. Depending on the user's preferences, there are pros and cons for each type of orientation.

Before finally shelling out money to actually purchase the equipment, check also on the machine's punching cycle. A slow cycle machine will consume a few seconds in the punching process while bigger machines with incessant cycle motors have quicker punching cycles. The latter can finish more punching tasks at a faster rate thereby greatly increasing the punching tasks' productivity.

It is also imperative to browse the internet for valuable information on the machine specifications and the manufacturers offering such equipments. Check out the different price offerings and warranties provided by the manufacturers prior to actual machine purchase. Conduct also a thorough research on the reputation of the manufacturer to make sure than the company's punching needs are properly addressed.

After all the necessary research and careful considerations of the various options available on hand, then go ahead and procure the punches and dies machine. Get the best punching machine for your company and make those large binding needs easier and faster. Hurray towards many more worry-free and productive punching and binding jobs for the company.
