Heritage and History
General Binding Corporation was founded in 1947 in Lake Zurich, Illinois, developing the thermal laminating technology that became the standard for document protection and display in American offices, schools, and businesses. GBC's thermal laminating machines and pouches became so standard that laminating was often called GBCing in offices throughout the latter half of the twentieth century.
The company's expansion into document shredding, binding, and presentation equipment created a comprehensive document finishing product line that addresses the full range of office document management needs.
