Schools with small student populations and small budgets don’t have a lot of money to spend on their yearbook printing, and to make matters worse, the prices go up for smaller orders of printing and binding jobs. With yearbooks costing as much as $50, parents and/or students don’t necessarily want to fork over the money to preserve their memories. There is, however, another option for schools to create their own yearbooks at a lower cost.
Many schools have a group of students that creates the yearbook from scratch using personal computers, copying machines and Unibind systems as an extracurricular activity. This can cut the costs of producing a yearbook by at least 50 percent, and it also helps to give students a sense of accomplishment and future career skills. They are able to complete every aspect of the yearbook production on their own with a Unibind Binding Machine.
The first step in the binding process is deciding on how the cover should look and what it should be made of. Unibind hard cover cases come in a variety of colors, and they can also be imprinted with foil, which can even be designed by an artistic student. Other schools decide to cut costs with a Unibind Cover and a window in the front. Larger schools can design their own four-color process printed cover if they have more than 500 yearbook orders.
The following steps are a breeze - simply take the pages that the students have designed and printed, and place them inside the cover. Then set the Unibind Cover on the Unibind Machine for less than a minute, and it’s done. Binding yearbooks couldn’t be a simpler thing for students to do, and the creative side of the process gives them something to be proud of.
Cutting production costs by as much as 70 percent is obviously an incentive as well; the Unibind machine is available for less than $500, which pays for itself in a couple of years. There’s also no replacing the sense of accomplishment that students receive from creating something as important as a school yearbook from start to finish.
