For years, plastic comb binding was one of the only methods of binding available. Nearly every document, presentation, proposal, cookbook and training manual was bound with plastic combs. However, over time the novelty and elegance of plastic comb binding has worn off. Documents bound with plastic combs have become common and don’t have demand the same attention that they once did. Yet hundreds of thousands of offices across the country still own plastic comb binding machines. For these offices there is a new solution.

GBC Zipbind binding spines use the same hole pattern as traditional comb binding spines. However, zip bind offers a brand new look and new functionality for your documents. This article is designed to offer a few simple tips and tricks for binding your documents with GBC Zipbind. Here they are…

1. If you plan on using the little zipper tool that comes in the package with the spines you are going to want to click the first few loops closed by hand. You will also want to crease the spine slightly in order to make the closing process easier. You can give the zipper tool a try or simply close the loops by hand and use the zipper to open spines to edit your documents.

2. Every pack of Zipbind spines comes with a blue plastic piece. This is designed to slide over the comb opener on your binding machine. The blue plastic strip will hold your Zipbind spines while you insert the pages onto them. This can come in really handy for the inserting process.

3. Proclick spines are only available in two sizes and two colors. If you are going to need to bind documents with other sizes or need another color you will need to use plastic combs. One of the beauties of using Zipbind is that you can always use combs for thicker documents, odd sizes and special colors. Keep this in mind.

4. One of the great things about Zipbind is that you can very easily edit documents in the field. If you get stuck in the field without a zipper tool you can always use a pen to open the loops and click the loops shut manually. It might also be a good idea to equip your sales representatives with a small comb binding punch such as the CombBind c50 in their car or briefcase. This way they can punch additional pages or sales sheets to add into the documents on the fly.

5. Binding documents with Zipbind is also ideal for organizations that don’t own a binding machine. They can simply buy prepunched comb bind paper and covers and put your documents together without ever touching a binding machine. This presents one of the lowest cost methods of binding available on the market.

These are just a few tips to remember when binding documents with GBC Zipbind. Give zip binding a try and find out just how flexible this new binding style can be.

I came across this guide to car rental today and felt I should set the record straight on some of the issues raised as it was misleading (just like my title, no sex here I’m afraid).

RUMOUR: You probably won’t get the car you booked.

TRUTH: Rental companies do not guarantee specific models – we cannot guarantee you will get a Hyundai Getz 1.5L for example, but if you pay for an economy car, manual transmission with air conditioning – you will get an economy car, manual with air conditioning (unless of course you get an upgrade!). Our reservations are based on car SIPP codes, vehicles are given as examples only.

TIP: Book based on SIPP code, not actual vehicle. Peugeot Leasing is an exception – models ARE guaranteed.

RUMOUR: It’s likely you’ve paid too much.

TRUTH: Walking off the street to pick up a car in a foreign country, you probably will pay more. Book before you go to ensure the best possible price and remember to compare like with like when researching prices. Look closely at what the price includes, what is extra and how much the extras will cost. Often, an all inclusive rate may appear more expensive but can save you money as there is no more to pay when you pick up the car.

RUMOUR: Your “fully-inclusive deal” won’t be as comprehensive as it sounds.

TRUTH: An Insurance Excess is applicable in the event of any accident or theft to the rental vehicle, regardless of fault. The Excess amount varies between countries and car group. The additional insurance offered by the car rental company is optional and is charged per day on top of an inclusive rate. Read more about insurance excess here.



TIP: You may be covered through your own insurance so double check before you book.

RUMOUR: You may face hefty add-ons.

TRUTH: There are some extras that will be added on to your bill e.g. children’s seats, additional drivers, young driver surcharges and GPS units may be charged separately and on a daily basis, which can add up, especially if it is a long trip. You should be made aware of these charges before you agree to anything, so be aware of how much exactly you have to pay.

TIP: Always ask what the extra charges will be before you agree to them.

RUMOUR: Breaking down could be a disaster.



TRUTH: Not when you book with DriveAway! Our rates all include 24 hour roadside assistance. We also have 24/7 customer service with a toll free number from across the globe so you can speak to someone (in English) no matter where you are.

TIP: Book with a reputable company who have a number you can call in the case of an emergency.

RUMOUR: You could be stung by cancellation penalties.



TRUTH: Not at DriveAway! We do not charge amendment or cancellation fees on car hire.

TIP: Always check at the time of booking if there are cancellation fees in case of an emergency. Sometimes it can be as much as the price of the rental if it is within a short time frame.

Always read your inclusions very carefully when you book a rental car (DriveAway list the inclusions with each vehicle during the booking process online and our reservations consultants will inform you of these if you book over the phone). Terms, conditions and costs all vary depending on the supplier and location. Remember to read your rental agreement carefully before signing it.

Holidays are precious. Researching and organising your car rental before you go can save you headaches and money.

To get the latest car audio system, it usually will cost you a bomb to do so. However, it is not the case every time. You just need to find that discount car audio to fulfil your audio system desire.

To find a discount for your car audio, there are probably only 2 instances to do so. These two instances always entail lack of a financial comfort zone.

The first instance is that you do not have an audio system in your car and would like to install one. But before installation, you want to find a good audio system at a discounted rate as you do not have enough cash to spend on a brand new system.

If this is the case, what can you do about it? One way is to go to a car stereo sale at exhibitions or conventions. The systems they sell over there are cheap, but not really that dirt cheap. So you still need to negotiate a good pricing with them. Another way is to flip through the classifieds in newspaper to look for second-hand audio system. Usually the items that are selling from these classified are very cheap but you need to be careful so that you will run into a swindler. You can also visit car forum on the Internet and look for prospective seller for their second hand audio systems.

In any case whereby you buy them a system from the Internet or newspaper, be sure to inspect it carefully. Inspect the system by giving it a go. The safest way is to look for reviews for the model of the system that you intend to buy. With good review, the chance of you getting swindle is much lower.

The second instance whereby you will look for a discounted car audio system is because you already have an existing one and would wish to upgrade it. For this instance, most likely you will want to look for a discount system that is not far from what you already have. A higher-watt system or a head unit that can play mp3 may be the one that you are looking for. Again, you can get these discounted items from audio sale conventions, as well as through Internet and newspaper. You can also visit some second-hand car shops, and see if they have what you are looking for.

Another way is to look for fellow car audio enthusiast. Chances are someone in your circle currently has a better system than yours and is willing to sell it to you at a price below the market rate. There will also be chances whereby they are willing to swap items with you, and you will be able to save the money.

One last tip for you to get discount for a car audio system is to look for substitute. Usually, Asian brands are much cheaper than European brands. Ask yourself what you really want in your new system? Do you really need to mesmerize LED display, or you can do without it? If what you want is just better sound quality, Asian brands can fulfil your desire too.
