| Model | Type | Price* | Who it is for |

6 Factors That Set the Price
- Binding method: machines built mainly around punching for spiral/wire binding and machines that do glue (thermal) binding use different technologies and sit in different price bands.
- Page capacity: there is both a mechanical and a price difference between a model that binds up to 480 pages and a professional system with 500-page (40 mm) capacity.
- Manual / electric operation: models that punch by hand are economical, while motorised models with electric punching and closing are upper segment.
- Level of automation: systems that automatically combine milling, gluing, pressing and trimming in a single machine are the top segment.
- Punching capacity and hole pattern: how many sheets are punched at once, at how many points and at which diameter all affect the price.
- Additional features: margin adjustment, waste tray, timer setting and auto-off convenience features are reflected in the cost.
In short: choosing the model that matches your usage intensity and needs — not the cheapest one — is more economical in the long run.
