Do binding combs come in different lengths?
Standard sizes are 4.8 mm (3⁄16 in) (for 16 sheets of 20# paper) up to 51 mm (2 in) (for 425 sheets). Spine lengths are generally 280 mm (11 in) to match the length of letter-size paper.
What is the largest comb binding?
The largest size of combs is two inches and can handle documents with as many as 400 sheets of paper. Combs that are 1.25″ or larger are oval in shape while smaller combs are round.
What is the difference between spiral and comb binding?
The benefit to comb binding is that pages can be added or changed somewhat easier than with a spiral bound book. However, a comb bound book cannot open a full 360 degrees like a spiral bound book. It can only lie flat in the normal open position.
How are binding coils measured?
Learn the right size for wire binding coils If it is an odd size, measure from one loop to the next, approximately 8mm for 3:1 wire or 12mm for 2:1 wire. However if it is the standard 285mm length you can count the loops (34 for 3:1 and 23 for 2:1). This will tell you the pitch of the wire.
What is plastic comb format?
Comb Binding, also known as Cerlox binding or Surelox binding, makes use of a cylindrical plastic shape that has multiple curved tines along its length. This rigid plastic shape forms the book’s spine and would resemble a hair comb if it were not formed into a cylinder, hence the name Comb Binding.
How many inches is a standard comb?
7.5 inches is big enough to comb through an adult’s head but compact enough to fit in the average travel kit.
How many pages spiral binding?
Unlike our other binding types that have 8-92 (Saddle Stitch) and 28+ (Perfect Bound) page count requirements, spiral bound books can be as few as 8 pages and up to 2 ¾” thick. So, whether you have a small book you need to print or a large book, spiral binding can accommodate both.
How many holes does a spiral binding have?
four holes
The most commonly used pitch for coil binding is 4:1 (four holes per inch).
Is wire or spiral binding better?
Wire-O Bound books are used for more formal, organized, and professional presentations of information. Similarly, to spiral binding, the pages can be turned 360 degrees around on themselves without damaging the spine. However, wire-o is less durable than spiral binding. Wire binding uses a looped metal wire.
