This equipment facilitates the creation of bound documents using plastic combs. A user punches rectangular holes along the spine of a stack of paper, then uses the device to open the comb and insert the punched pages. This creates a professional, durable binding suitable for reports, proposals, and educational materials. Common examples include simple manual devices for small offices and automated, high-volume systems used by print shops.
Comb binding offers several advantages, including relatively low cost, ease of use, and the ability to easily add or remove pages after binding. The development of such technology streamlined document creation and allowed for more organized and presentable materials. This contributed significantly to improved efficiency in offices, schools, and other organizations where bound documents are frequently used.
