School Binding | Make projects more economically, quickly & professionaly



We want to help School Administrators Quickly, Easily and Economically Produce Professionally Bound Documents! This article is intended to give School Administration some information and ideas about Unibind.

Teachers and students already have great ideas. We just want to show them how a Unibind system can make those ideas come to life! Unibind helps teachers inspire their students to write and create. Unibind also helps administrators quickly, easily and economically produce professional bound documents. Why Unibind? We know everyone is looking for ways to save money, increase productivity and perhaps earn money. Unibind could be your answer!

 About current Unibind use in schools:

Since 2007, Unibind has conducted introductory demonstrations in more than 2000 school campuses and have introduced more than 4000 schools to the Unibind Binding System. During a brief training session, we go over the Unibind system, how it works, and what can easily be done with Unibind. We are confident your staff will be comfortable using the system and will also become one of their favorite tools to use!

Save Money with Unibind!

If your school system has been sending documents out to be bound, a Unibind system will typically save you a dollar or more on each document that you do yourself...plus you have the added benefit that your documents are completed in a fraction of the time and is bound more securely. The old saying "time is money" is certainly true! We are being asked to wear a lot of hats at our jobs, and making a job easier is invaluable! With Unibind, there is no hole punching so your document can be bound in a fraction of the time. Those looming jobs that would take you hours...even days with a comb binder can be turned into just a few minutes leaving you time to get more done! Efficiency is worth a lot these days and it always makes the one that actually has to do the binding have a better day.

Other Money Saving Examples:

If your school system uses a lot of three ring binders, a Unibind binder, in many applications, can replace the bulky binder! You will save money on each three ring binder you don't have buy...plus with no hole punching, you will be done much faster! An added bonus with replacing three ring binders, Unibind binders do not take up nearly as much space so they are easier to file, stack or display and they look a lot more professional!

We find elementary/middle schools everyday that are sending children's work out to be bound in a hardback book. If this is your school you know that you have to spend a minimum of $15-$20 per student! With Unibind, it costs less than $8 a book! Plus you are able to have the job done the same day rather than sending them off to be bound and waiting up to several weeks to get them back! Many schools have paid for their machines many times over just by binding their hardback books themselves with Unibind! Let us know what kind of binding projects your school does and we can show you how a Unibind system can help you create your projects more economically, efficiently and professionally!

How does Unibind Fit Your Budget?

On average, schools already have $15/student budgeted to create custom bound documents. With Unibind, you can stretch that $15 budget much further! Schools can purchase a machine, produce a hardback for each student and have enough leftover to produce a second hardback book for each child. Not only is the Unibind system easy to use, but the kids can also help create their own books! The teachers can produce the books as the students completed their projects. You no longer have to worry about the hassle of sending the student's work off to the binding company hoping it would come back on time and correctly done. Now, if a grandparent wants an additional copy, you can easily make it! If a mistake is made, it can easily be changed! The hassle and headache are gone and you have created a keepsake that will be with each child for years to come.


Many principals in Primary, Elementary, Intermediate and Middle Schools are some of Unibind's most vocal proponents. Not only were they using the Unibind Binding System for administration documents, but their teachers are able to produce hardcover books of their student's work. A number of schools have st up publishing centers to produce children's books.

Here are some examples of how schools use Unibind

Annual Reports

Each year, our Co-op produces an annual report. When we were first introduced the the Unibind system, we had already made 200 copies of out 120-page report. We were initially going to use our old punch binding machine, which is a long and time consuming process! Instead we bound our annual report with the Unibind machine in a fraction of the time. It's the best looking annual report ever! We are always getting compliments about how great it looks.


Yearbooks: Make your own yearbooks with Unibind!

More schools have begun to produce their own yearbooks using the Unibind Binding System. Yearbooks that once cost $25-$40 per book can now be produced for just $5-$20. Also, the big yearbook companies require minimums. With a Unibind system, no minimums! Make as many as you need and if you get that last minute order...NO BIG DEAL!

Parents, especially parents in  Title I schools, have been priced out of the yearbook market. Many parents couldn't afford to purchase a traditional school yearbook for their children. Some schools that have not produced a school yearbook in several years, are now producing their own yearbooks at affordable prices. Schools that have used their Unibind machine to produce their yearbook have paid for their machine in the first year, even if the yearbook is the only project they bind with their machine. You also have the added benefit that teachers and students are learning valuable computer skills while learning to lay out and produce their yearbooks.


Memory Books: Make your own memory books for your class or sports team!

Join other schools in making their own Memory Books! What exactly are we talking about when we say memory books? These are different than yearbooks in that they focus on one group or project wanting to be recognized. In the examples below, schools have made books for individual classrooms, grade levels, field trips or sports teams. We even have an example of a retirement book recognizing the achievement of a teacher! The ideas are endless but the memories collected and documented will last a lifetime. With the Unibind system, books like this become easy and cost efficient to create.You have the ease of only make the amount of books needed and they could even be used as fundraisers to more than pay for themselves! Let Advanced Filing Concepts help you start your project today!


Young Author Books: Your classroom can make their very own young author books!

"Look mom, it's a REAL book!" what one student exclaimed when she saw her finished book bound in a Unibind hardcover book. Young author books are very special to the students that write them, the parents must display that book on their coffee table, and the teachers who have inspired the students to write! With your Unibind machine, you can create these books for a fraction of the cost and, without deadlines, you can create a very special keepsake for each student!


Fundraisers: You can not only save money using your Unibind system, but you can use it for fundraising too!

Every year, many schools come up with creative ways for fundraisers. A popular method was to create a cookbook to resell in the community. Binding the cookbooks is a hassle if you are using an
old comb binding machine. It will take forever! (If you have ever used a comb binder, you know the nightmare) Using a Unibind machine with these cookbooks is a snap! No your cookbooks will look better, are more durable, and are completed in a fraction of the time. This will increase the revenue for your fundraiser!

Employee Handbooks

Some schools create hundreds of handbooks, ready to be print and bound prior to the fall school start. Imagine staring at a pile of 400 employee handbooks and the thought of binding each one of them! With Unibind, these books will be done before your lunch hour. A project that would normally take days will only take a few hours to complete!
