Wire Bound Booklets
Choose wire bound booklets when a booklet must lie open on a desk or bench and be written in comfortably. The Wire-O twin loop wire runs through punched holes along the left long edge. The booklet opens completely flat, and the pages fold right back on themselves, so it stays open while you write, with no staples or glued spine.
This binding is often called spiral or wiro binding, but it is a twin loop of wire, not a plastic coil. Every page is printed in full color on both sides, from your own artwork. Separate printed covers give the front and back a finished look.
Schools, training providers, trades, community groups, small businesses, cooks, and makers order these booklets for workbooks, training manuals, recipe books, planners, presentations, reports, and instruction books. You choose the size, inside stock, cover, laminate, wire color, page count, and quantity, then upload a print ready PDF and approve an emailed proof.
