The present invention is directed to a post print finishing device that incorporates a spiral binder module into the post print handling and finishing functions. In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, the binder module binds sheets together by inserting a metal piece that serves as the binder and then bends the metal so as to function as a spiral binder. An accumulator module is included to stack the sheets, present the sheets to the binder for binding and then discharges the bound stack to an output bin.
