Description
These navy plastic binding combs are available in sizes as small as 1/4" binding combs that will bind up to about 25 sheets* of paper, up to as large as 2" for 425 sheets* of paper. Smaller sizes up to 1 ⅛ are round, while large binding comb sizes from 1 ¼" up to 2" are oval shaped, and feature three locks that help keep the comb closed securely around your pages. Sizes from 1/4" through 1 ½" are packaged with 100 binding combs per box, while 1 ¾" and 2" are packaged with 50 per box. We stock plastic binding combs in a large variety of colors such as black, clear, white, blue, gray, maroon,navy, red and hunter green.
The standard length for these traditional plastic binders is 11" with 19 total rings, perfect for standard letter size papers and books. Commonly used for cookbooks and children's books, plastic binding comb spines work perfectly when paired with one of our plastic comb binding machines. They are made of a durable PVC plastic that features a spine with rings attached that open on one side. The spine on plastic combs is one of the unique features that makes comb binders such a popular solution, because they can be custom printed with your company logo, school name, or book title. This economical binding method also allows for easy and fast book editing, as the combs can be re-opened and closed shut as many times as is needed without damaging the book pages.
When choosing your comb size, the best way to ensure the correct diameter of comb for your book is to assemble the entire book (including covers) and let it lay flat and loose on the table (do not press down) and measure the thickness of the stack. Then add 1/8" to that measurement to get the comb diameter recommendation. For example, if your book was 1" thick you would want a 1 ⅛" comb diameter size. If between sizes, we recommend you go with the larger option to ensure that your book pages will turn smoothly and easily. You can also use the chart below to choose a size based on approximate sheet capacity.
Comb 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.

One of the major benefits of comb binding is the ability to easily edit the documents by just opening the combs, changing out the sheets, and closing them again.
Plastic binding combs are sometimes called GBC combs, plastic binders, or plastic binding spines.
The wide range of sizes available means you can easily bind from about 10 sheets up to 425 sheets, or nearly a 2” thick stack. Sizes from ¼” to 1-1/8” are round, while larger sizes from 1-1/4” up to 2” are oval, and feature 3 locking prongs to help hold your pages in place.

Let’s review the most frequently asked questions about plastic comb binding…
1. What are the custom options available?
We can create custom comb binders in several ways. The first, and most popular, is with custom printing. This can be a pad print, silkscreen, or even a foil stamp, depending on the complexity of the design. The combs are printed while they are flat, and then rolled and shipped to you.
We can also get you custom cut lengths, both longer and shorter than the standard 11” bindings.
2. Can I cut them myself?
Sure! Cutting combs is easy with any pair of scissors.
3. When do combs become oval instead of round?
Beginning at the 1 ¼" diameter combs, the shape changes to oval. In addition, you will find 3 holes and 3 prongs with hooks that keep them closed. This helps keep the pages of your heavier books locked in place.
4. How long are the actual combs?
While made for an 11” length sheet, the edge-to-edge measurement of the comb itself is slightly smaller at about 10 5/8”
5. Will my book lay flat?
Yes, comb binding does not hinder the lay-flat ability
6. Can I turn my pages back to back?
No, the spine does not officially allow pages to turn back to back, though you can simply curve the pages around like so.
