If you are looking for a solution to bind your

own documents, reports, presentations and proposals, wire binding is

certainly a great choice. The professional look of the double loop wire

binding is a popular choice for engineers, architects, real estate

agents and financial service organizations. In fact, double loop wire

binding (also called wire-o binding) offers one of the most

professional looks available on the market. However, before you rush

out and buy a wire binding machine there are a few things that you

should know. Here they are...

1. There are two types of twin loop

wire binding machines. A 3:1 pitch wire binding machine is designed to

punch a hole pattern with three holes per inch and is used to bind

documents between 3/16" and 9/16". A 2:1 pitch wire binding machine is

designed to punch a hole pattern with two holes per inch and is used to

bind documents between 5/8" and 1-1/4". If you decide to purchase a 3:1

pitch wire binding machine and decide later that you need to bind

larger sized documents you will be out of luck. With a 2:1 pitch wire

binding machine you can actually buy small sized custom elements for

small documents. However, these documents will not have the same

tightly wound look that is popular with 3:1 pitch wire binding. If you

anticipate needing to bind both large and small sized documents with

wire binding your best bet is to purchase a binding system capable of

punching both 2:1 pitch and 3:1 pitch patterns. This will offer you the

flexibility to bind documents in all sizes up to 1-1/4" with your

machine.

2. Twin loop wire binding elements come out of the box in a "C" shape.

Most wire binding machines have a place to hang or hold the wire in

place while you put the pages onto the wire element. You then have to

take the wire binding spine and use the wire closer on your machine to

squeeze the spine closed into a round shape. It can take some practice

to move the book into the wire closer without having your spines fall

out. Unfortunately apart from a high end electric wire closer, this is

the process that is required for wire binding.

3. It is important to make sure that you purchase a twin loop wire

binding machine that has an excellent quality wire closer. Cheaper wire

binding machines can sometimes use plastic components and cheaper

construction. Over time, the wire closers on these machines can begin

to skew resulting in an uneven bind. Higher quality wire binding

machines will use metal construction to ensure that the wire closer

will not slip or skew over time.

4. Wire-O binding supplies are available in more than 14 different

colors and a large number of sizes. Generally speaking, wire spines are

stocked in 11" lengths for standard letter size documents. Spines for

longer or shorter documents can be ordered in almost any length and

take just a few days to have made. Large volume users will sometimes

use wire on spools and use special machines to cut the spines to

length. Spools are not recommended for low volume non automated users

since they are susceptible to shipping damage and can become tangled

easily.

Certainly there is more to wire binding than just these four things.

However, understanding these four points will help you to make an

informed decision when choosing a wire binding machine.
