Wire-O Bound Book Printing Resources

Product Information

When it comes to product specifications, our black metal wire binding offers a professional and organized look, making it ideal for formal use. It's an excellent choice for workbooks, annual reports, instructional books, and more, especially when you want to make a polished presentation. While Wire-o pairs with a wide range of paper stocks, we don't recommend this binding option for books with a high page count, as flipping pages can bend the wire. Instead, we suggest using a spiral-bound option, which is double and allows for easier page-flipping.

FAQs

What is Wire-O Bound Printing?

Wire-O binding is similar to Spiral binding. It is a metal coil that passes through a row of punched holes at the edge of the printed piece. The pages will lay flat or wrap back around themselves. The binding can be on the project's left or top edge, depending on how the project is designed.

How should I count pages for wire-o binding?

We can print spiral and wire-o orders with 8 - 800 pages, which must be in 2-page increments.

What should my margins be for wire-o binding?

You must leave extra space for the hole drilling on the binding side of your Spiral or Wire-O booklet. Set your binding-side margins to 7/8".

What are the most common uses for wire-o bound?

Wire-O binding is excellent for Calendars, Directories, Annual Reports, and many other types of products.

When will I receive my wire-o bound book?

After proof approval, you will receive your wire-o book in 3 to 4 business days. You can request rush production and shipping to receive your book earlier.

Bleeds

Bleed is an extra 1/8” of image that extends beyond the trim area of your printed piece. The project is printed on an oversized sheet that is cut down to size with the appearance that the image is “bleeding” off the edge of the paper.
