Our take
Best new entry model — binds thicker
GBC's 2026 CB12 punches the same 12 sheets as the Starlet but binds up to 165 sheets and handles A5 as well as A4, for about £70. Few reviews yet because it's new, but GBC and Fellowes are the same company (ACCO) and the build is on a par. Buy this over the Starlet if your documents run past 120 pages.
