This past year, Rhin-O-Tuff released a new electric spiral coil binding machine called the 3250CL. This new machine was a complete departure from the heavy duty industrial modular binding equipment that has made the Rhino Tuff name famous. Instead of developing another putty colored industrial looking binding machine for print shops, they decided to develop a contemporary binding machine targeted at professional office environments. The new 3250-CL electric spiral coil binding machine is the result of this effort.

For organizations that are looking for a new coil binding machine for their office, there are several reasons to consider the 3250CL. Here are five...

1. Design: When PDI (Performance Design Inc) decided to develop the 3250-CL they hired a designer from HP to help them with the project. They wanted to design a machine that would fit in with other pieces of office equipment inside a modern organization. As a result, the 3250 looks more like a desktop laser printer than an industrial binding machine. The machine is simple, durable, elegant and simple. Plus, in most office environments, space is at a premium. This machine packs a huge punch in a small package. It measures a mere 14" wide, 17" deep and 7" high. The small footprint allows this machine to be placed on a desk, countertop, table or almost anywhere else in an office.

2. Ease of Use: One of the main complaints that we hear from users in office environments is that binding is too time consuming and difficult for many of their employees. The 3250 is designed to make binding easier. It eliminates confusing features, adjustments and dials allowing operators to concentrate on getting the job done. The punch is operated by one button and the coil inserter is operated by another button. It doesn't get much easier than that. Plus, instructions are included inside the drawer on the front of the machine for users who forget how to use the machine.

3. Capacity: Rhin-O-Tuff has built an incredible name for themselves by producing heavy duty industrial modular binding equipment. Although the 3250-CL doesn't look industrial it contains an industrial grade motor. This motor allows the machine to punch an impressive 25 sheets of paper at a time. That is an impressive punching capacity for a desktop binding machine and is equal or better than any of the competitive electric spiral coil binding machines on the market.

4. Warranty: Most pieces of binding equipment come with a 1 year warranty. The Rhino Tuff 3250CL comes with a three year warranty on parts and labor. Plus, they even warranty the punching dies on the machine for 1 year. None of the competition offers a warranty that is even close.

5. Made In the USA: These days, most of the binding equipment on the market is made in China. However, Rhin-O-Tuff has bucked this trend and makes all of their equipment at their state of the art facility in Boise Idaho. In these tough times, it is nice to be able to buy American made products and support US jobs.
