Spiral Binding

The book is punched with a series of small holes on the left. Coil binding then is screwed into those holes from one end of the book to the other. The binding can either plastic or wire. Spiral binding allows your book to lie flat and to double over. Spiral wire coils are available in 1/4 inch to 2 inches in diameter sizes and can bind books of up to 24 inches in length.
