Wire-O BindingAKA: Twin-loop, Double-Loop, Duo-Wire, Double-O

Wire-O binding is a sturdy and upscale alternative to spiral coil binding. It features pre-formed wire loops that are inserted through holes punched in the book’s cover and pages, then crimped to form a secure “O” shape. This allows the pages to open a full 360 degrees and lie flat, making it ideal for books and documents with multiple pages, inserts like index tabs, or content that spans across two pages.

The key advantages of Wire-O binding include:

  • 360-degree opening — Books can open cover-to-cover and lie flat, enabling easy access to the full content.
  • Symmetrical page opening — Left and right pages open evenly, keeping content that spans two pages properly aligned.
  • Easy page turning — The flexible wire binding allows pages to turn smoothly without restraint.
  • Upscale aesthetic — The solid, sturdy wire binding gives a premium, professional look and feel.
  • Space-saving — Books can be wrapped from any page, taking up half the space of a fully opened book.

Overall, Wire-O binding provides a durable, flexible, and visually appealing solution for binding books, manuals, and other multi-page documents.
