Mechanical Binding
Accurate crossovers, economical for short runs
Mechanical binding is the method of bookbinding that uses a metal or plastic filament to bind the pages of a book together, allowing the book to lay flat. This method delivers accurate crossovers, is economical for short runs, and offers plastic variants available in many colors. For manuals, school agendas, cookbooks, calendars and notebooks, mechanical binding is a time-tested binding style.
After collating leaves into a book block, the pages are punched or coiled in line. The binding holes are typically square or rectangular holes for Wire-O and oval holes for plastic coil. (If pages need to be added or withdrawn at a later date in a Wire-O binding to update or expand the information of the book, T-slots are possible.) The width of the repose mechanism is selected depending on the thickness of the book. We can handle runs of any size. We do multiple styles of mechanical binding, including Wire-O binding, plastic, coil spiral binding, fully concealed wire-bound hardback books, and plastic comb binding — these each offer slightly different advantages.
