The POWIS Fastback models 9 and 20 are document/ book binding machines, but not just your ordinary run-of-the-mill binding machines. Both models are compact enough to sit on your desktop. They are equipped to operate at a single touch of a button ensuring their user friendliness. However, this small size and ease of operation does not mean that they lack in power or capabilities. Both models are equipped with extremely strong, lay-flat binding abilities while each have their own stand-out abilities as well. The Fastback 9 is the ideal binding machine for small companies who want a more cost-effective way to bind their documents to larger corporations looking for an easy way to brand their documents. This machine can bind documents from 10 – 500 pages (or up to 250 sheets) with a binding speed of less than 40 seconds! It comes equipped with four types of binding (strip, halfback™, perfectback™ and hardcover) with the ability to create stunning strip bound, image bound, softback, easyback, hardback and custom hardback documents. Professional binding is as easy as one, two, three! The Fastback 20 is the perfect solution for all corporations, institutions, small businesses and anyone else who has a need for bound documents. After a 3-minute warm-up period it sports a very impressive binding speed of 10 – 350 sheets in 20 seconds or less! Compared to coil, wire or comb binding it is an impressive 3.5 times faster at binding. Within these 20 seconds it can create documents with strip, hardcover or perfect binding in three different width sizes. At the simple touch of a button you can produce the same stunning bound documents as the Fastback 9, but in half the time!
