Plastic Comb

Plastic Coil

Wire is available in 19 sizes. The 3 to1 (3:1) pitch is used for books up to about 1/2" thick. 2 to 1 (2:1) wire can be used for books up to about 1-1/8"

The elements are shipped on recyclable plastic trays or disposable cardboard trays. These trays prevent tangles and allow for easier use with less waste than other systems.

Several colors are available.

Plastic Coil Binding
We use a metric pitch to the holes because, unlike wire spiral, we pull a punch pin at each end of the book. The spacing of the metric holes leaves a little additional paper at the end of the bind, so the last hole doesn't tear out as easily. Metric patterns are more common than the non-metric although many people using the metric patterns refer to them as 4:1 or 5:1. The materials we sell can be used with metric or non-metric holes. Order 5mm pitch for use with 5:1 punch patterns and 6mm pitch for use with 4:1.

Our plastic coils are available in either 5mm or 6mm pitches and in 12" and 36" lengths.

Several colors are available.

Plastic Comb Binding
