The Velobind V110e is an
updated version of the GBC Velobind V110 and is an electric punch
designed for punching holes for use with Four pin reclosable Velobind
strips.The V110e is an inexpensive binding system
that offers a high end look. Plus the documents it produces are easily
editable for addition or removal of pages.

Overview:

• The Velobind V110e is an
  updated version of the GBC Velobind V110 and is an electric punch
  designed for punching holes for use with Four pin reclosable Velobind
  strips.
• A lower cost alternative for companies who like the
  look of GBC Velobind but don’t want to spend over $1000 on a hot knife
  binding system.
• The V110e is an inexpensive binding system
  that offers a high end look. Plus the documents it produces are easily
  editable for addition or removal of pages.

Strengths / Features:

• The
  V110e uses a simple to operate push button punching control to punch up
  to 24 sheets (actually more like 20) with a small four hole round
  pattern. For such an inexpensive electric machine this actually an
  impressive punching capacity.
• It has a convenient jam release
  lever on the side of the machine that helps you deal with potential
  paper jams. However, in order to prevent paper jams from occurring it
  is best to remember that you should only punch 2 plastic covers at a
  time and that you shouldn’t try to overload the machine.
• The
  V110e includes a small reclosable Velobind bind and debind tool. This
  small gray plastic tool is used to help you push the pins down into the
  back of the receiving strip during the binding process and is also used
  to help you edit the bound documents if you need to release the pins
  later on.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

• The
  V110e is just a punch. It does not include a finishing unit of any
  kind. This means that inserting the four pin strips through the holes
  and snapping them in place is a manual process. For small volumes of
  reports or proposals this is fine. However, for large volume users this
  would be incredibly tedious.
• The V110e is not designed for
  high volume punching applications and if you attempt to punch large
  numbers of clear plastic covers or use this punch too much you might
  see the dies begin to dull. Unfortunately, the dies for this machine
  are not replaceable and you will have to replace the machine if this
  occurs. Purchasing pre-punched plastic or poly covers is recommended
  with the V110e. Luckily, the hole pattern for 11 pin Velobind is
  compatible with the four pin pattern used by the V110e so pre-punched
  items should be readily available.
• There are a limited number
  of supplies available for the V110e binding system. Currently four pin
  strips are available in Black, Navy Blue and White. Burgundy strips
  used to be available but have been discontinued for quite some time. If
  these three colors don’t fit your needs then the V110e won’t be a good
  fit for you.
• One of the greatest strengths of a traditional
  hot knife Velobind system is the security that it offers. However , by
  nature the reclosable strips used by the V110e don’t

Recommendation:

• If
  you like the look of Velobind and are looking for an economical
  solution then the V110e might be a good option for you. It is ideal for
  organizations that need to do low to medium amounts of binding . It is
  also ideal for organizations that are looking for a highly professional
  looking reclosable (editable) binding solution.
• The V110e is
  a great machine for what it is and as long as you can live with its few
  limitations then it will most likely be a great machine for your needs.
