Binding documents using binding machines is often used to organise papers, make them look presentable and easy to use. Binding consumables have a significant impact on the quality of the binding.
For spring binding, springs of different diameters are used, depending on the number of sheets in the document.
Calendars, notebooks, books, and promotional materials are bound with a metal spring. The metal spring allows the document to be opened 360 degrees, which is convenient for reading, scanning, and photocopying. This type of binding gives the document a presentable look, without the need to add sheets or change the cover.
The plastic spring can be used repeatedly. Plastic spring binding is more commonly used for internal documents, such as instructions, manuals, and reports.
Binding covers perform an aesthetic function and at the same time protect the document from external influences. Leatherette covers make documents look more presentable. Plastic covers for bookbinding create a reliable barrier to dust and moisture, and their transparency allows you to see the title of the document.
