3. Bookbinding machines: These machines are used to bind printed materials together, such as books, magazines, or pamphlets. They can include equipment for cutting, folding, stitching, or gluing.

4. Paper cutting machines: These machines are designed to cut large sheets of paper into smaller, more manageable sizes. They can include guillotine cutters, rotary cutters, or programmable paper cutters.

5. Laminating machines: These devices are used to apply a protective layer of plastic film onto printed materials, such as documents, posters, or ID cards, to enhance durability and appearance.

6. Collating machines: These machines are used to gather and arrange printed materials in a specific order, such as assembling pages of a book or organizing sets of documents.

7. Binding machines: These devices are used to bind printed materials together, such as spiral binding machines, comb binding machines, or thermal binding machines.

It's important to note that NATO Supply Class 3610 is specifically tailored to meet the needs of NATO member countries for military purposes. Therefore, the equipment within this class may have additional specifications or requirements to ensure compatibility with military operations.

Overall, NATO Supply Class 3610 plays a crucial role in providing the necessary machinery and equipment for printing, duplicating, and bookbinding tasks within the special industry machinery sector.
