Wire Binding Machines

Wire binding is a common binding method. It provides a secure bind keeping the pages in place and producing a professional, neat-looking document. It is of great use for reports, books and more. This wire binding results in documents that can be turned through 360° for easy opening of laid flat, and have a high-quality appearance.

This binding uses a strip of plastic or wire that passes through a series of holes to bind together a stack of paper. A sturdier alternative to the single wire spirals or the plastic comb is wire binding. The wire forms teeth or double loops that fit into rectangular holes in the paper. The loops are frizzed to hold the wire in place, and these allow the book to lay flat when open. Writing notebooks, notepads, steno pads, cookbooks, booklets, manuals, reference materials, and calendars often utilize wire binding methods.

There are two types of wire binding: single loop binding and double loop binding. Single loop binding is also known as coil wire binding. It uses only one wire per hole and the wire represents a spring once it is closed. Contrary to single-loop binding, double-loop wire binding uses two wires per hole, providing a stronger alternative. This is commonly used for calendars.

While choosing a wire binding machine you should look out for the following features: punch capacity - how many sheets it can punch at one time, bind capacity - how many sheets it can bind at one time, what paper sizes it accepts, and does it work manually or electric. The latest wire-binding machines are the superb result of an extensive program of market research, design and development. These systems are highly innovative, combining stylish good looks with exceptional performance.
