Wire O Bound Book Printing & Metal Binding

Black metal twin binding for a sleek, durable bind.

When you give your audience a booklet that’s not just thoughtfully designed but smartly constructed, you tell them that your brand takes details seriously. The metal coil binding in Wire-O booklets delivers this message loud and clear with its elegant and professional design.

FAQ

What wire-o book sizes do you offer?

Our wire binding service includes multiple sizes of wire-o books, and we offer customized sizes for your unique print project.

Select “Input a custom dimension” option to add your specific size.

How does Wire-O binding work?

The technique is similar to spiral coil binding. However, instead of one continuous coil running the vertical length of the page, the wire coils are separate from each other.

Each coil fills up two punched holes at a time. The number of holes and coils depends on the paper size.

What material are your wire made from?

All of our wire binding supplies is made from metal. If you’re looking for plastic coil binding, check out our Spiral Books

Do you offer custom colored wire?

The color of the standard wire we offer is black. Custom colored coils are not available on our website. Please contact us if you have a special color request.

What is the best feature of Wire-O binding?

Many people would say it’s the ability to open the pages to a full 360 degrees thanks to the wire binding spine. This enables the booklet to remain flat when folding pages back while allowing the reader to focus on details one page at a time.

Opening pages 360 degrees makes the booklet easier to handle and view when traveling. That’s one reason Wire-O binding is so popular with map booklets and travel guides.

From a design standpoint, the 360-degree opening eliminates the possibility of information getting buried close to the booklet’s spine.

What are some other advantages of Wire-O binding?

Wire-O loops come in different diameters to accommodate books of all sizes. This allows the binding to handle high and low page count books.

The pages are easy to turn, and they stay in place without the reader having to hold them apart – even with high page counts.

If you need to write in a book, Wire-O is an excellent choice. The lay-flat properties help accommodate writing without pages bending the book or cracking of the spine.

Wire-O binding can accommodate index tabs. This makes it a good choice for reports, directories, and training manuals where readers need to find specific sheets without having to flip through the pages.

The coils work well with quality thick paper stocks. This makes them well-suited for manuals and other books that receive rough treatment during their life span.

Do you have templates?

We offer wire-o book templates that gives you a step-by-step process guide to designing your books. These templates show you how to setup your files (color modes and settings), margins, and standard sizes. Our binding machines do the rest!

The templates for spiral bound books are located on this page, under the “Templates” category.

How soon can I get my wire-o books?
