Available in a wide variety of colors, Wire-O® Binding gives all your bound documents a classic look. We offer all the wire binding supplies you need to create professionally bound documents and give your presentations a traditional look and feel. Our wire binds come in a variety of colors in a 3:1 or 2:1 pitch.
Silver Wire-O Twin-Loop Binding Spines
Upgrade your documents with a clean, professional finish using our Silver Wire-O Twin-Loop Binding Spines. These premium metal wires are ideal for offices, print shops, and anyone looking to create high-quality books, reports, presentations, or planners.
Wire-O binding offers a durable and semi-secure hold. Once bound, pages cannot be removed without cutting the spine, ensuring your content stays protected. Pages also lay flat when opened and can rotate a full 360°, making these wires perfect for notebooks, journals, manuals, planners, and calendars (when paired with calendar hangers).
Pitch Options & Sizes
Wire-O spines are available in two pitch formats:
- 3:1 Pitch – 3 holes per inch
- 2:1 Pitch – 2 holes per inch
How to Select the Correct Size
- Lay your stacked pages flat (do not compress).
- Measure the thickness along the binding edge.
- Add 1/8" to your measurement to determine the recommended wire size.
