Retail Price: $5,200

The Powis Parker Fastback 15XS is a thermal tape binding machine designed to produce professional bound documents quickly in print shops, copy centers, and office environments. The system uses adhesive binding strips that are heated and pressed onto the spine of a document to create durable bindings for reports, presentations, and books. The machine supports multiple binding styles including strip binding, perfect binding, and hardcover binding.

Main Machine

The Fastback 15XS clamps the document block while heated platens activate the adhesive binding strip and bond it to the spine of the pages. The machine automatically detects the strip type and adjusts temperature and binding settings for consistent results. After binding, documents are placed on the integrated cooling rack to set the adhesive before handling.
