2. Setup
The GBC VeloBind Reclosable Binding Spines are intended for use with compatible VeloBind binding machines. Ensure your binding machine is properly set up and ready for operation according to its specific instruction manual.
- Prepare Document Pages: Ensure all pages intended for binding are correctly collated and punched with the appropriate VeloBind hole pattern. The holes must align precisely for proper binding.
- Align Spines: The spines consist of a thin strip with multiple prongs. Align these prongs with the punched holes in your prepared document. The prongs should be inserted from the front side of the document.
3. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to bind your documents using GBC VeloBind Reclosable Binding Spines:
- Insert Prongs: With the document pages carefully aligned, insert the prongs of the VeloBind spine through the punched holes. Ensure all prongs pass through all pages.
- Secure the Binding: Place the document, with the inserted spine, into your VeloBind binding machine. The machine will heat and seal the prongs, creating a secure, flat bind. Refer to your specific VeloBind machine's manual for detailed operating instructions, including temperature and pressure settings.
- Re-opening for Editing: To re-open the binding for adding or removing pages, use a compatible VeloBind re-opening tool. Follow the instructions provided with your VeloBind machine for this process. The reclosable design allows for non-permanent binding and easy document updates.
4. Maintenance

- Store GBC VeloBind Reclosable Binding Spines in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. This helps prevent material degradation.
