The Fellowes Starlet Comb Binding Machine - Affordable Binding at Its Best
Jeff McRitchie
There comes a time when just about every
professional or student needs to use a binding machine to put together
that special report. Although these products can be expensive, there
are some more affordable models available that are high-quality and
will get the job done. The Fellowes Starlet Comb Binding Machine is one
of these, and it's a product that's absolutely perfect for occasional
use. Here are five things that make this machine one of the highest
quality most affordable binding device around. - The Starlet is a device that can punch 7 sheets of
paper per lift and bind documents that contain up to 90 pages. You can
bind booklets with combs that are up to 1/2" thick, so this machine is
perfect for creating school reports, marketing materials, calendars,
and other items.
- Every time you use the
Starlet, you're guaranteed to get a great-looking booklet. With this
device, you punch your pages vertically which allows you to always get
accurate hole placement. This unit also has a rotary edge guide so you
can line up your document properly before finishing off your booklet.
-
Although choosing the right comb can be quite the task, especially for
beginners, the Starlet makes it easy due to the inclusion of a comb
selector. Just measure the thickness of your document and with the
selector you'll be able to see which comb is appropriate for your
project. All your spines will be at hand, as well, because this product
has a tray in which you can store your supplies.
-
Fellowes did a great job when designing this machine. This lightweight
device will fold up so it can be stored easily and it even has a handle
so you can carry it to a new location without any strain. (Note: it
weighs about 13 pounds.) Although the casing is plastic, the Starlet
does have some metal parts that make it durable. The comb opener even
has metal teeth so you can get your money's worth out of the machine
and not worry about the teeth breaking. Also, this product has a modern
design so it will look great in your office.
-
This is the least expensive comb binding machine offered by Fellowes
with a list price of $83.95. It's one of the most inexpensive
booklet-making devices offered by any manufacturer and it still offers
some great features. There's even a two-year warranty for the Starlet
so you can buy this product - and use it - knowing that if something
goes wrong, Fellowes will be there to help you out.
Although
its low price is a key selling point, don't forget that the Fellowes
Starlet also offers other great features, including its binding
capacity, the comb selection guide, and the compact design. Whether you
need a binding device for your small office or you're a student wanting
to impress your teacher/professor with a classy-looking report, this
machine is ideal. And with a price point under $85.00,
professional-looking documents have never been more affordable, even if
you're on a budget.
