Description
If you want something more unique than traditional plastic coil bindings, then consider ordering custom spiral binding coils today. We can customize these binding coils in several ways: by custom-cutting them to any length of your choosing, by offering a selection of special-order colors, or by creating a completely custom colored coil to match your needs precisely. Keep reading to learn more about customization opportunities, or call our sales team at (866) 537-2244 to request a price quote now.
No matter what kind of custom binding coil you choose, we have the machinery and resources to produce low volume runs, up to very large high-production runs, without ever sacrificing quality and precision. All custom opportunities are available for every size of coil, including the smallest 6 mm coils (1/4") up to the largest 50 mm coils (2"). We also offer quantity discount pricing for bulk orders. Every order is unique, so to request your quote, call our sales team at (866) 537-2244.
To select the proper size coil for your book, use our capacity chart below, which displays all of the coil sizes available, the average sheet capacity of that coil using standard 20# bond copy paper, and how that converts into an approximate book thickness. Keep in mind that the book thickness is based on a loose stack, so should not be pressed down on your book pages when measuring their thickness.
Coil Binding Capacity Chart:
Simple steps to get the proper fit for any type of binding - Coil, Comb, or Wire.- Take the book being bound and lay it flat on a table
- Don't compress the paper and measure the thickness of the binding edge
- Take the measurement and add 1/8" - that will be the size of the binding element
* Note: the capacities listed below are approximations, determined using standard 20 lb. bond copy paper; the actual sheet capacity will vary depending on the materials being bound.

Spiral binding is one of the most popular ways to document bind. In fact, these binding coils are our top selling binding strip overall.
But that doesn’t mean they are perfect for every user. So let’s discuss the good and the bad of plastic coil binding in the form of a compliment sandwich.
1. Good: The incredible durability. Binding coils can be bent and twisted every which way, and will still bounce back to their original shape. Try doing that with a binding wire and it will be a bent up mess…or with a binding comb, and create creases that cannot be fixed.
2. Bad: They are kind of bulky. Because they are round, they will stick out from your book, and the thicker your book, the larger that bulk becomes.
3. Good: There is a rainbow of colors to choose from. 8 of these colors are stocked, and 15 plus more can be special ordered and usually made in just a couple of business days.
4. Bad: The binding process can be a little tedious. Rolling those coils through the 40-something holes on your binding edge takes a bit of time, and if the book block isn’t curved to the coil shape, you can snag as you insert. So be sure to use that spine shaper on your binding machine to help.
5. Good: They are affordable. Starting at only about 5 cents each, spiral coils are less expensive than most other binding methods.
6. Bad: They are not professional. This is a bit misleading, because colors like the black, navy, and clear actually look fantastic on a finished presentation. But for some companies, the plastic material itself is not the most professional look.
7. Good: Books bound with plastic coil lay flat and turn a full 360°!
8. And one more good… they are fun!
