Wire binding equipment

In order to bind documents with double loop wire a binding machine and a wire closer are required. Smaller organizations will often choose a small manual wire binding machine that offers a manual hole punch and a built in wire closer. Medium sized users will often choose a wire binding machine with an electric punch and built in wire closer. The highest volume wire binding users such as binderies, print shops and in-plant printers will usually separate the punching and finishing stages of the binding process in order to increase productivity. These users will often use a heavy duty modular interchangeable die punch or an automated punching system along with either a manual or an electric wire closing machine.

Wire binding process

Binding documents using the double loop wire involves ten basic steps. These steps include：

Assemble your document including covers and measure the book to determine the correct size of spine.
Set up your binding machine so that the holes are correctly centered on your paper.
Separate your document into appropriate sections and punch it using your wire binding machine or modular binding punch.
Hang the pages of your document onto the "C" shaped wire spines.
After carefully moving the pages of your document over to the wire closer, use the machine to squeeze the spine together until the "C" shape becomes an "O" shape.
