How the Right Perfect Binding Machine Transforms Your Print Finishing Operation
Product Description
In the current competitive market, where printing will be involved, perfect binding has become the standard for the professional finishing of documents. Spiel Associates has been providing American printers and binderies with outstanding performance through our extensive line of perfect binders and perfect binding machines since 1958.
Understanding Perfect Binding: The Foundation of Professional Finishing
Perfect binding takes assembled page spines and covers these with hot-melt adhesive to make square-backed, professionally bound books or documents. This advanced process provides the appearance and durability that the present-day corporate world needs.
Perfect binding produces neat, square backs with room to print text and graphics, so it is suitable for books and catalogs, manuals and other premium marketing material. In comparison to spiral bindings or binding with wire, it has come to mean quality printing since it provides durability to a print which is frequently consulted, as well as gives an aesthetic sense.
The Strategic Advantage of Professional Perfect Binding Machines
By purchasing the right perfect binding machine, even traditional print shops can achieve operations that can be labelled as comprehensive finishing powerhouses. Innovations of modern perfect binding have provided unlimited accuracy and effectiveness, which can perform one-time specialty work through huge commercial production with the same professional outcomes.
The industry has been changed by advanced automation capabilities. New systems can manage a variety of book sizes and will automatically cover glueing to variations in the thickness of the paper, and are able to control the same level of pressure throughout the binding process. This automation enhances quality and reduces labor costs considerably, thus avoiding human error.
Products that are produced with perfect binding operations fetch a higher price in the market, and they are professionally structured to get a premium client relationship. The flexibility of modern perfect binders ensures that a number of different projects, including corporate annual reports through to self-published novels, are bound in a single machine and offer outstanding payback.

Controllable nipper pressure permits operators to produce square-backed books with perfect style, and the side-glueing feature permits professionals to produce hinge covers at professional levels.
The difference that we have in the market is that we are both manufacturers and distributors. The company has the sole patent pertaining to in-line plastic coil binding and forming machinery in the United States, and this alone proves that this company is devoted to the application of innovation and technical excellence on its complete line of machines.
Choosing the Right Perfect Binding Solution
In choosing the right perfect binding machines, consideration of operational needs, volumes, and standards must be taken into consideration before committing oneself to purchase such a machine. There are smaller desktop models suitable for a small print shop and larger industrial systems with bigger capacities needed in commercial binderies and larger publishers.
Where flexibility and space savings are the most important features, desktop perfect binders such as our Sterling Digibinder become the ideal products. The machines can run a single copy or hundreds of books, making it ideal for short-run publishing, corporate communication and specialized applications. They occupy a small area and have simple handling, which puts them within the reach of companies that do not have a separate bindery department.
Perfect binding machines in industries will have the high speed and capacity required in such strict production. They are such systems and have automatic feeding, several levels of glueing in them, and are able to run trimming so that the finished products are ready to sell off.
Technical Excellence and Future-Ready Solutions
The perfect binding machines on the market today include advanced monitoring features and keep the best conditions during the process, and regardless of the environment or the experience of the operator, results will be similar each time. Smart machines automatically vary the amount of glue dispensed depending on the number of signatures being put in place, and highly marketable clamping systems apply constant pressure to the full length of the spine.
The binding industry is also developing via automation, digital integration and sustainability. The next-generation machines have intelligent systems of control that store the job parameters, automatically setting the parameters according to the specifications of the material, and predicting the maintenance needs before the damage occurs.

Testimonials
The Coilmaster Jr. is very easy to set up and reliable as can be. We train temps to run the machine and they do a great job. We save 60 – 70% on plastic coil costs by making our own coil.
Their training was awesome. Now the girls that were trained are training others. We are coil binding 18″ long books. The Coilmaster is truly great!!!
I purchased my first Digibinder in 2007. I get buried once a year by Town Reports so I bought another one. Once a year I drive one of them down to Spiel for preventative maintenance. These things last forever.
The Wiremaster Pro is amazing. It does the work of three wire binders with half the labor. We love it.
We’ve been doing plastic coil binding for 30 years but David Spiel really took us back to school. He is the first vendor ever to teach us about pitch, and filament gauge, hole shape and diameters. The Coilmaster Jr. Plus rocks!
We had never done coil binding before we purchased The Sterling Digipunchmaster and The Coilmaster Jr. Plus. We bound 2,500 on our first day of production. Since we purchased them during the pandemic, we received no installation or training, just great installation and training videos.
I can’t say enough good about the people at this company. They are excellent to work with. I like the equipment they sell too.
I can’t say enough good about the people at this company. They are excellent to work with. I like the equipment they sell too.
What we like is the ease of operation and set up. The machine is what I call an open system, a machine where it is easy to see how it operates and easy to locate all the functions.
We’re getting 650 books per hour on The Coilmaster and we’re loving it. We have 250,000 books to do in the next two months and instead of dreading this job like we used to, we now say: Bring it on.
In-line coil forming and inserting is the most important feature for us on the Coilmaster. Buying and waiting for plastic coil proved to be a hardship. We can now optimize our production time, turning around multiple jobs more quickly.
We tried another automatic coil machine and it failed to perform. We bought a Coilmaster System and after it validated our decision, we bought two more systems. This machine gave us the production speeds we were looking for.
