Spiral Bound Books (Spiral Binding)

Spiral Binding for Manual, Reports, Planners, Notepads and more

What is a SPIRAL BOUND book, or report, or planner?

When a multipage-page document needs to be kept together, with integrity but still be easy to go through it, spiral binding (which is also known as coil binding because of the shape of the binding element) are a great option. It is a way in which multiple pages and covers can be kept joining together.

 

The way in which the document is held together is through a durable plastic spiral or coil that is inserted through holes that are drilled on the document. The spiraled plastic that looks pretty much like a coil join the pages as an assembled group.

The main advantages of spiral binding are as follows

  • Full view of the document: Spiral binding allows the elements included in the assembly such as sheets, separators, copies, charts, etc inside the grouped document to open freely. The pages can be flipped completely around the spiral in full 360 rotation.
  • Ease to turn pages without further holding them: The pages turn easily and stay at the position. Unlike other methods of binding such as book binding, spiral binding gathers the document together but each component of the assembly is still independent.
  • Color for Spirals: using different spiral colors helps to keep bound books together by color-coding the spiral.
  • Page Counts: This binding method is appropriate for low-page-counts as card card-body as for high-page-counts. Because the coil used in spiral binding is available in multiple sizes

Choose the paper on which the book will be printed on. There are two scenarios and you will be the one to decide what your book should look like when it is finished.

1 - If you want All Pages (sheets) will be printed on the same paper: Whichever stock you select in this option will be the stock used on every single page (sheet)

2 - If you want cover stock printed covers, A couple of lines down you will be able to determine if there are any hard covers in your book. If you choose "yes" for that option, you will have the opportunity to select the stock for the covers at the time. Your selection for this particular question will affect all of the inside of the book.

About Covers in Coil - Spiral bound books.

If either the FIRST SHEET of the book or the LAST SHEET require a stock that is different than the one selected for the rest of the book, here is the place to indicate that information.

Recommendations:

  1. If your book will have a clear plastic finishing and a black vinyl back cover, you might skip the selection of  thicker covers.
     
  2. If you are not planning to add a clear plastic or black back plastic finishing, it is strongly adviced to have the first and last sheet made out a thicker stock. That cover will be more difficult to tear away and the overall life span of the book will be longer. 
    • There are a number of options listed being the most resistant made with a synthetic stock
