When customers contact us looking for a new binding machine, we’re often asked: “What’s the best spiral coil binding machine out there?” I hate to play favorites here, especially since we feature several reputable brands, but the one machine I typically recommend without hesitation is the Akiles CoilMac-ECI.

This is one of our select Customer Choice products. That means this binding machine earned that coveted label due to its excellent performance track record and reliability. This may sound like marketing puffery, but it’s indeed true. Akiles binding machines a heavier, and overall more rugged than most binding machines in their class. That’s because the outer casing, and most of the moving parts, are made of sturdy metal.

We have lab tested the CoilMac-ECI and it actually can punch up to 17 sheets of 20-lb. bond paper at a time. Some binding machines perform at a lower level than advertised, but Akiles products live up to their specifications. This is a 4:1 pitch machine, meaning it punches four holes per inch in your document. This is the most common pitch on the market.

For a relatively low investment of $577, the CoilMac-ECI is a bargain. It also features a handy built-in coil inserter. Most models in this price range require a separate inserting unit, or you simply have to insert coils by hand. The CoilMac-ECI also features disengaging dies that enable more precise binding. That means no more half-hole punches at the ends of your documents.

Be sure to take a closer look at the Akiles CoilMac-ECI spiral coil binding machine today.
