The same great punch that was originally created for the larger print and bindery industry by Sickenger, the GBC USP13 was designed and built to be up to the task of the highest volume production environments there are. Here are some reasons that you owe it to yourself to check out the USP13 if you are in the market for a binding punch that can work through the biggest jobs with ease.
1. Using as it does a paper path that is both shorter and straighter than you will find in similar machines, the USP13 is specially designed to minimize the possibility of paper jams when you are working with paper stocks that are thicker or that have a special glossy coating. This unique design also makes it easy for the USP13 to work with collated documents that contain mixed tabs and documents that contain papers that are of different stocks and weights. There is even a handy speed selection system so you can slow the machine down to more easily accommodate different stocks of paper, and that helps keep jams and misfeeds to a minimum. In fast, the USP13 can handle paper that goes as light as 16lb stock up to 110lb index sheets.
2. The USP13 was created for use in the largest of binderies, copy and print shops and in house document production floors that find they have the need to punch millions (yes, millions) of sheets in the average month. This is a machine that is, in some cases, able to punch upwards of 120,000 pages of certain paper stocks per hour, and that you will find can operate at an average speed of 80,000 sheets in an hour s time (for those of you keeping score at home, you will note that that s twice as fast as the GBC AP2 automatic binding punch). And the USP13 is just as easy to use, too. All you have to do is to load your already collated documents into the machine, and virtually in seconds, you ll find that they have been cleanly and accurately punched and ready to be bound into books and booklets.
3. GBC made a wise choice in deciding to keep up production of the Sickinger USP13. This is a machine that has proven its mettle over the years and has been in heavy use in high volume production environments all over the world since it was first introduced. It is a highly reliable binding punch that you know you can trust to be able to handle your biggest jobs, quickly and efficiently.
4. The USP13 is also a model of versatility. With fifteen die sets available for use with this machine, there is hardly a binding style out there that you won t be able to produce, including plastic comb, color coil, double o loop, three hole, Proclick and Velobind. If need be, you can even have custom dies produced for your specialty documents.
The industry standard for years in high volume binding punches, the USP13 gives you the kind of quality, versatility, and reliability that you ve come to expect from GBC machines.
