PAVO A4 3 mm Thermal Binding Cover - Clear/White (Pack of 100)

Perfect covers, Super value. 100% Supplier.. Many Thanks

Absolutely perfect for our business and great value for money for packs of 100! Will be ordering more when they’re in stock!!

As a small publishing company we get through a lot of thermal binding covers and usually buy GBC which is a better known brand in this field. However, we discovered that GBC thermal binders are not as reliable or consistent (at least at 15mm size) so we decided to switch to PAVO and the PAVO 15mm are 100% better, perfect bindings. Another advantage over GBC is PAVO has a slightly larger binding edge cover so if you use extra glue in your bindings it's more easily hidden and less likely to seep out on the cover page as it often does with GBC covers which have a smaller binding edge cover. The quality is pretty much the same as GBC in terms of material and durability but they're often a lot cheaper.

I have a Unibind thermal binding system and they have changed their covers so you now apparently need a crimping device to make their new covers work, therefore you have to purchase a new binding machine at the cost of £300+ Before you do this I can say these PAVO covers are fab and a fraction of the cost. Just keep a steelcrystal cover and pop in in the machine at the same time (I think the steel makes the binder switch the heat on). Wish I had thought of this years ago I would have saved a fortune!

For what I want them for it will be fine and for the price you get more than you would elsewhere. I'm disappointed that they are a cream colour because it states white on the add and picture. They don't look like the one on the picture either. Oh well maybe next time they will be right.

I bought these with the clear intention of cutting them down to A5. I don't know whether it is economies of scale but the less popular A5 format is more expensive not less. Cutting throught the spine is a little difficult but done carefully gives a satisfactory result. Despite being glossy and apparently plastic coated the white margin and back of the cover is not. Any contact with marg or oil will become manifest as oily spots likewise for biscuit crumbs.

VERY good quality, I have previously bought the ones by GBC and when putting the paper in, then after heating them up, I'd have to bend the front cover and spine to accommodate the paper. With the PAVO ones, they have a square edge spine, so there's no need to try and get the loose edges of the 'book' to match, which creates a curve of the pages. PAVO is, in my opinion, far better quality. I'm going to 'mothball' the GBC ones and replace them with the PAVO ones.

Amazing for business use ... Makes the Documents look so professional ....we stock from here as and when required ... And great value for money
