Shopping Cart Info

This was another "wow" find at CHA, 2008.  I love making books and I have found few binding systems that I really like.  I love the Zutter binding system and own one but they are large to ship so I never carried it.  This system is compact, portable and easy to ship.

Carl Craft Binding System~ As you may know, Carl Mfg. makes a nice selection of paper cutters. punches and other fine cutting tools.  Now they have come out with an easy, portable binding system.  The binding portion of this system is 12" long. To use, you just position your paper into the piece that looks like a paper cutter, after your papers are in and locked, you fold down the green bar, position the 2nd part of the binding system up to the papers and punch your holes down the aide of your paper.   After you have completed that, then you can bind it manually with the coils or you can use your own fibers, rings, etc. to bind your book. 
I found it quite easy to use.  It punches 3 holes per inch.  You can just punch and bind the top and bottom portion of your book or the middle section- so you have some room for creativity with it.  There is a picture below that shows how it is used.
The 2nd part of the binding system is actually a punch so you could use it free hand also.  It also has a lock on it so that it will stay in the down position for easy storage and traveleing.
So your maximum binding capacity would be a 12" book and it will punch up to 5 sheets of copy weight paper (20 lbs.) at one time.  Thicker cardstock may have to be done one or 2 at a time. 
$29.99
It does require box shipping so it will require additional shipping over the flat rate envelope.
