I've also seen a glue-less paper binding trick where two pieces of paper are finely crimped together with some high pressure tool in alternating v^v^v^ patterns, actually making tiny tears in the paper. Does anyone know what kind of tool does that?
Harinacs stapleless stapler?
Possibly this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NeGah4YJg0
It's a bit hard to search for, because they make one that punches a hole too (shows up in the video).
