Make Employee Handbooks with a GBC Proclick P3000

My department recently created an updated version of our employee manual. Many of our policies have changed since a few years ago when we printed the original handbook.

The last one was only about 15 pages, so we had it printed and saddle stitched. With all of the new content, it is over 50 pages now, and would cost a lot more to print and bind. Plus we now have a machine that we can use. So we had the pages printed and then used our GBC ProClick P3000 to punch and bind them.

We've done about 20 books so far, and there are 10 or so more to do. The finished books have been very clean and with consistent quality. The process of doing this many books has been a little time consuming, but using the ProClick - a $1600 binding machine that we already owned - made it much less expensive.

Because our department (and the whole company) is constantly changing as we grow, we anticipate that we’ll need to make additions to the handbook more frequently.

Binding with the ProClick is perfect for us because you can get an editing tool that lets you easily add and remove pages after binding. For about $20 you can get 25 of the editing tools.

So we printed on a heavier stock paper and can edit the current manuals rather than having them reprinted and bound every time something changes.

What is the max sheet capacity for the spines?

Leslie,

The ProClick binds and punches documents 8-1/2" x 11." It will bind documents up to 100 sheets, and the electric punch can handle 15 sheets a time. If this fits your binding needs, I can't recommend this machine enough.
