Question by I Can’t Be Normal: Best way to bind my book??? Please Help!?
OK I’m trying to make and sell a type of book where the pages are laminated and are bound on a wire comb type spiral. I also want a thin cardboard type of front and back cover that is also punched to have the wire comb spiral through it. Is there a machine that I can have at home that can punch and bind the covers and pages? The book will only have 5-10 laminated pages and the front and back cover.

Also, what are those cardboard covers wrapped in? I mean, when I see notebooks or other books that have this cardboard type cover, they are wrapped in a big sticker type thing that is printed on. Can I print on those at home to have a cover for my book?

I know these are really ignorant and stupid sounding questions, but I don’t know the terms for any of this stuff or how they are used. Any help would be MUCH appreciated! I’m totally lost. lol

Answer by lucy02
I’m not sure but if it has a standby I would think so. This sounds so much like me. I thought I had left the coffee pot on one night and drove back down. Of course it was off.

A store owner bought a machine that laminates cards. The machine cost 00. Each laminated item costs the owner $.50, but he charges the customers .00 per item. How many cards must be laminated and sold before the owner makes a profit from the machine?
133
223
285
286

Best answer:

Answer by Diet_smartie
He makes a profit of 3.50 every time he sells an item.
So you divide 1000 by 3.5 to find the number of items he needs to sell to break even. I think the answer is 286.

Best answer:

Answer by Blaze
4.00 – .50 = 3.50 (the amount of profit he makes each time)

1000/3.50 = 285.71

So about 286 cards

Q&A: Will someone please explain the difference between a Sizzix, Xyron, Cuttlebug, and a Cricut?

Alan — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 02:46:08 +0000

Question by momof3smurphs: Will someone please explain the difference between a Sizzix, Xyron, Cuttlebug, and a Cricut?
It looks like a Cricut machine would replace punches because you can cut out shapes and fonts from their cartridges which would replace buying punches . A Sizzix and Cuttlebug cut out things but you have to buy the dies. A Xyron makes stickers and can laminate. Is that the right of it?
Any pros/cons of any one that you have tried?

Best answer:

Answer by jabh2515
I am not sure about the differences between them but I just tried a Cricket this weekend. It actually worked very well. The only think is that it only comes with one cartridge and each additional cartridge is about ! I would never buy one simply for the fact that I would get sick of the shapes on the cartridge I have and I wouldn’t want to spend more money on cartridges.
