Fastback 9 Thermal Binding Machine

About The Fastback 9 Thermal Binding Machine

The Fastback 9 Thermal Binding Machine is a compact, professional thermal strip binding machine that produces high-quality bound documents at the touch of a button. It binds documents from 10 to 250 sheets in as little as 40 seconds. Offering up to five binding styles, including thermal strip binding, lay-flat binding, easy-back binding, and hardcover binding, it provides outstanding flexibility in one compact document-binding system. Whichever binding style you choose, patented Glue Lock Technology delivers a secure, durable bind that withstands years of regular use.

The Fastback 9 is easy to use with one-touch functionality. Its integrated LCD display provides clear step-by-step instructions, guiding users through inserting the document, positioning the LX spine strip and starting the binding cycle with the press of a single button. This straightforward workflow makes it suitable for offices, print rooms, educational environments and copy shops where professional document presentation is essential.

The Fastback 9 simplifies consumable management by using just two binding strip widths to cover book thicknesses from 10 to 250 sheets. Available in Narrow and Medium sizes, this reduces the need to stock multiple strip widths while helping lower consumable costs.

Powis also offers Image Strips, allowing you to customise binding strips with your own logos, branding and graphics. Ideal for presentations, proposals and branded documents, they provide a simple way to enhance brand awareness and help your documents stand out.
