Formax ReadyWire 3B Manual Punch & Binding System - 3:1 Pitch
The Formax ReadyWire 3B is a compact manual punching and binding system designed for offices and organizations with low binding volumes. Its 3:1 pitch configuration produces a refined, professional wire-bound appearance and accommodates double-loop wire diameters from 1/4" to 5/8", with a binding capacity of up to 135 sheets.
An ergonomic two-lever design separates punching and binding operations for simple, comfortable use. The low-force punching lever can punch up to 20 sheets at a time, while the integrated wire comb holder helps keep pages properly positioned before binding. A built-in wire diameter guide and quick-adjust sliding binding control make it easy to select and set the appropriate wire size for each project.
The ReadyWire 3B produces professional wire-bound documents that open a full 360 degrees and lay flat for easier reading, writing, and scanning. Double-loop wire keeps pages securely bound while providing a polished appearance designed for long-term use.
