WHY
UNICOVER SYSTEM? The UniBinder 8.2 not only binds and cools the documents. After the binding cycle, the document is put into a slot where the spine will be automatically crimped until it matches the bound document perfectly. The crimping element can crimp documents up to 36 mm.
Make your presentations yourself...
The new UniCover System offers several benefits: thanks to the crimping, fewer spine sizes are needed. All sizes from 1 till 36 mm are replaced by only 5 spine sizes. Binding many different types of document styles is possible thanks to the flexible cover range. To improve the overall aesthetics, the cover types are available in 10 standard metallic colors.
The system is easy to use and works very fast! And thanks to the crimping tool, I need fewer spine sizes. It’s nice working with Unibind!”
“I’ve been using the Unibind system for many years already. With the Unibind binding system, my documents always have the perfect presentation.
The cover closes perfectly around the document. The crimping makes the spine fit better around the document and creates optical perfection. Extra binding strength is guaranteed: the crimping movement pushes the pages down and moves the sheets inside the melted resin. The UniCover Sytem is innovative and can be used in every company that wants to present its documents in a professional way.

If it is important, it is still bound
1. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder to read on screen than on paper
2. Two main factors why people prefer to read on paper
The speed of reading is 25% slower on screen than on paper.
The importance of a document: the more important it is, the higher the chance they will print it before reading.
This is one of the main reasons why people stop reading digital documents much sooner compared to the paper version. They see the lack of speed as a barrier and simply close and delete the document.
The length of a document: once a communication contains more than 2 pages, the majority prefers to read the paper version. Source: University of Wichita
A document on screen gets 12 seconds of attention. The same document on paper holds the attention for almost 2 minutes.
Conclusion: printed documents get 9x more attention important matters require a printed presentation
