Coil & comb binding FAQs
What customers ask about coil & comb binding
Have a specification we did not cover? Add it to your request or call us.
Is coil binding the same as spiral binding?
Yes. Plastic coil binding is what most people mean by spiral binding — a single continuous plastic coil threaded through punched holes along the edge. If you ask for spiral binding, this is what you will get.
What is the difference between coil, comb, and Wire-O binding?
Plastic coil is flexible and hard-wearing, and pages can be rotated a full turn. Comb uses a plastic spine with teeth, and it can be reopened to add or remove pages later. Wire-O is a double-loop metal wire with a more formal finish. All three open flat; the right one depends on page count, how often the document is handled, and how it should look.
Can you bind pages I already printed?
Often, yes. Bring or describe the page size, page count, quantity, and any cover requirements so we can confirm compatibility before you make the trip.
Can you bind a thesis or dissertation?
Yes. Coil and comb binding are both common for thesis and dissertation copies. Bring the printed pages or send the PDF, and tell us the copy count and any cover requirement from your department.
Will a bound document lie flat on a desk?
Yes. Coil, comb, and Wire-O all open flat and stay open, which is why they suit manuals, workbooks, recipe books, and anything used while your hands are busy.
Can you add tabs or dividers inside the binding?
Yes. Tab dividers, section inserts, and heavier stocks can be bound into one document. Tell us where the tabs fall in the page order so the proof shows them in the right place.
