Plastic coil-bound books & booklets

Very secure method of binding, durable; book lies completely flat.

Plastic coil-bound manuals and books (as wire-bound books and manuals) work well for courses where material is to be handed out all at once, i.e. not in small modules. They are also convenient back in the workplace when holding the manual in one hand makes life easier.

Fixed bindings may not be suitable for courses in which the trainer wishes to hand out modules stage by stage. Ring-bound manuals offer a better solution in such cases.

This type of binding is preferred by some schools for books such as homework diaries, as the pages are more secure.

Please let us know if you would like to receive a bound hard-copy proof of your manual before the final print run.

Advantages

Sheets are fully secured as binding cannot be prised open
Book lies completely flat on a surface
Book can be folded back and held in one hand
No minimum thickness
Capacity: 190 sheets or 380 double-sided pages, including a card cover front and back

Disadvantages

When opened, the left and right sides of the book are very slightly (2-3mm) misaligned due to the helical binding. This is rarely an issue. For a book which is perfectly aligned when open try wire-bound.
