Real World Success Story: Loving the Binding System!

Nelva Jones, Yearbook Instructor at DHS in Deming, New Mexico, loves the flexibility InaBind’s equipment offers her program. The Yearbook staff in Deming, NM love the Fastback binder they purchased from InaBind. Being a yearbook class, the binding system is extremely useful to producing the Wildcat annual.

“I love the binder! It’s awesome! It enables us to completely control our yearbook publication.” It also gives the program more independence from submission deadlines because everything is done in-house. “Having the machines from InaBind-especially the binder-allows us more versatility. We can personalize each yearbook for the students, giving them their own unique first page with a photo and a message. I like that we’re the only school that I know of that binds our own yearbook!” Ms. Jones says with a smile. “That makes my students feel so proud, and it really gives them ownership of the work.”

It’s very easy to use the equipment as well. “I can show my students one time how to use it and they rarely make mistakes after that.” That’s because the process is simple and the binder is well-made. “I haven’t had any problems in the three years I’ve had it,” Ms. Jones stated. “It’s never messed up on me!” Jones continued to say that the equipment also gives them a chance to include more in the yearbook for a lower price. “To publish and bind our 200+ page annual here at school costs us about half of what it would cost us to send it off. Other companies are twice as expensive for yearbooks that are half the size-plus you have to deal with the inconvenience of sending it off to be published,” stated Jones. “We’d much prefer to use InaBind!  We bought the equipment, and now we can bind exactly the number of books we want.” The equipment also allows them to go back to a previous year and print more copies if they need them.

Overall, everyone is pleased with the products and the service of the helpful people at InaBind. We asked Jones how she felt about the service and she said, “They always go above and beyond what’s expected to make sure that we’re satisfied with the product. I’m more than happy with the service!”
