Frequently Asked Questions
How is the UniBinder 8.2 different from the 8.1 and 120?
All three machines bind and crimp, but the 8.2 offers the highest capacity (up to ≈ 340 sheets) and can heat up to 8 books at once. The 8.1 handles 6 books (up to 120 sheets), while the 120 is a compact manual-crimp unit.
What’s the maximum document thickness I can bind?
Up to 1-1/2" (36 mm), roughly 340 sheets of 20 lb bond paper with the correct spine size.
How many documents can I process at once?
You can heat up to 8 documents simultaneously, then crimp and cool them in sequence.
Do I have to crimp every document?
Yes — crimping tightens the metal spine for strength and a finished look, especially on thicker books.
Can I reopen a book to add or remove pages?
You can reheat briefly to adjust contents, but results may vary. For best results, assemble the final page set before binding.
Why do some pages feel loose after binding?
Usually an under-filled spine or incomplete heating/crimp cycle. Use the correct spine size and ensure a full heat and crimp sequence.
What paper and cover types are supported?
Standard 20–28 lb bond papers and the entire Unibind cover range: Soft, Flex, Hard, Thermal Spines, and Custom UniCovers.
How long does the full process take?
Heating ≈ 120 seconds, followed by automatic crimping and a 3-minute cooling period.
What maintenance is required?
No scheduled service. Keep the heating rail clean and avoid damaging the crimping mechanism.
What’s included with purchase?
UniBinder 8.2 machine, power cord, and user manual. Covers are sold separately.
What are my options after the 12-month warranty?
Unibind machines are non-repairable. You can add an extended warranty for continuous replacement coverage beyond the first year.
