What is Spiral Binding?
Spiral binding (also known as wire binding, coil binding, wiro binding and wire-o binding) is a very popular and cost-effective binding method. Spiral bound documents are bound like a notepad with a wire insert threaded through small holes punched in the margin of the document.
Spiral Binding Service
Doxdirect binds documents using wire binding, which is very similar to spiral binding but rather than the wire being threaded through the pages like a coil, the pages are placed on a C-shaped wire spine which is then closed into a cylindrical shape to bind the document. This allows the pages to lie completely flat when the document is opened.
How much does it cost to get a book spiral bound?
The price varies depending on the desired specifications. Black and white is cheaper compared to colour and ordering more copies lowers the price per copy. Adding optional card covers, acetate covers or tabs will increase the price. Use the price calculator to get a quick quote for your spiral bound book.
