Wire-bound book printing, also known as wire-O binding, is a popular choice for journals, manuals, and booklets that need to lay flat and allow for easy page-turning. This binding style can be customized with matching paper stock for both covers and inside pages or with heavier cover stock for added durability. You can also enhance organization by adding tabbed dividers, making it easier for readers to find key information.

Choose from a wide range of paper options, and explore our Free Paper Sample Kit to feel and compare different textures before finalizing your project.
Wire Binding vs. Other Binding Methods
Wire binding is sometimes confused with other binding styles, such as saddle stitch and coil binding:
* Wire Binding uses closed wire loops to securely hold pages together along the spine.
* Saddle Stitch Binding also involves wire but functions more like a staple that holds pages through the spine—commonly used for comic books and small catalogs.
* Coil Binding (or spiral binding) uses a continuous plastic or metal coil instead of individual wire loops.
