Mechanical Binding

Mechanical Binding is a useful and economical binding option. Seaboard Bindery offers a variety of mechanical binding solutions to allow you the maximum in design flexibility.

Wire-O
Also known as "double loop" binding, Wire-O binding is among the most attractive and versatile binding options available. Produced using pre-formed wire loops bound in pairs down the spine, Wire-O-bound books are commonly found as cookbooks, calendars, and user manuals. At Seaboard, our three top-of-the-line inserters can handle all Wire-O diameters, including 1 1/4". By offering the flexibility of folding the cover 360 degrees to lie flat on any page, Wire-O binding possibilities are limitless.

Wire-O binding is sturdy and available in an array of colors, including PMS matched shades. It can be used with multiple stock weights and sizes, like all mechanical binding styles. Index tabs, die cuts and foldouts can easily be added to enhance your project's design. We also offer several cover options that will expose or hide the binding, including semi-concealed, split back, fully-concealed and wraparound style spines.

Plastic Spiral
Flexible, child-safe, and durable, plastic spiral binding also offers the layflat and 360 degree turning capability of Wire-O. Often used for the same types of products as Wire-O, plastic spiral binding is formed by coiling a length of plastic binding material down the spine of a book. Seaboard offers a wide selection of great colors, and running your job on our multiple coil inserters makes fast and easy turnaround a snap.
