β’Made with a 3:1 pitch, these twin loop wires are compatible with any 3:1 wire binding system or with any wire closer.
β’The metal wire gives an aesthetically pleasing finish and a sense of quality to the bound pages when paired with our document binding covers.
β’Twin-loop size binding is known by many names: double-loop, double-o, duo-wire, and also twin-loop binding. This method uses a continuous hinge of double wire loops to hold book covers and pages together. They prefer this method because it offers a stylish metal finish in a variety of colors. This traditional method of wire binding secures pages so that they cannot be modified without unbinding the book. Books bound using the twin-loop method tend to lie flat, and sheets can turn 360Β°, which is ideal for calendars or notebooks.
HOW TO USE
β’Position the paper guide on your binding machine based on your desired paper size. Gather your printed sheets and insert the allotted amount of paper into the opening. When the paper is fully inserted, slide the stack to the left until it makes contact with the paper guide. To make sure all of the edges of the sheets are flush, tap the sides of the stack. Activate the punching by using the pull handle on your binding machine.
β’Arrange your sheets in the desired order. Flip the back cover so that it is on the front of the arrangement. The inside of your back cover should now be the first sheet in your arrangement. You will see in later steps that this will hide the wire spine, making the appearance more professional.
β’Set your wire closer to the appropriate twin-loop size that you are using. Set the edge of your book with the wire into the wire closer to the opening. Pull the wire closer handle to close and secure the wire around your book.
β’Flip the top sheet (your back cover) to the back of the book to hide the spine and see your completed bind.
NOTE: You need a Wire Closer (if itβs not included with your binding machine).
