Wire-O® Binding

Lays Flat. Opens 360°. Economical.

Mechanical binding is a great solution for products that need to lie flat. Double loop wire binding, commonly referred to as Wire-O®, is a durable binding method that lies flat, and opens 360°. It's perfect for manuals, cookbooks, calendars and more.

Many people think of Wire-O® as the Cadillac of mechanical binding. It is an elegant, durable and versatile binding style that's been around for decades, yet never looks dated. Wire-O®'s pages open without a "step-up", making it an appropriate choice for books with crossover images. Wire-O® elements are available in a wide variety of standard colors; if necessary, we can even specially order wire to match any PMS color, as long as minimum quantities are satisfied. Because Wire-O® can be highly automated, it is an economical choice for long runs.
