To easily distinguish a bundle of paper sheet or the like of less than a predetermined number with eyes.
A binding apparatus of paper sheet or the like has a printing part printing information 26 on a small strip k, a strip-winding part of one hundred leaves winding the small strip k having the information 26 printed thereon by the printing part around accumulated paper sheet or the like of a predetermined number or accumulated paper sheet or the like of less than a predetermined number to make a bundle t, and a strip-winding part of one thousand leaves binding a predetermined number of accumulated bundles t each being a flux T bound by the strip-winding part of one hundred leaves with large strips K1 and K2. When the small strip k is wound around the accumulated paper sheet or the like of a predetermined number, the printing part prints the information 26 on the first position of the small strip so that the information 26 is not located on the side surface of the accumulated paper sheet or the like. When the small strip k is wound around the accumulated paper sheet or the like of less than a predetermined number, the printing part prints the information 26 on the second position of the small strip shifted and different from the first position so that a part of the information 26 is located on the side surface of the accumulated paper sheet or the like.
