Plastic Comb Binding

Plastic comb binding is used mainly for ‘in house’ office binding. Sometimes, however, the quantities involved are too much for the office machine. This is where APE Image Consultants can help. As with wire binding we have the capacity to handle large volumes of comb bound books.

Comb binding has similar characteristics to wire binding insofar as the ‘lay flat’ capability has many advantages. The system does no quite allow for the complete fold back that wire binding offers and being plastic is not quite as strong. However, this method of binding is very popular and our turnaround from loose sheets to bound books is very fast. A big advantage that comb binding has over wire binding is that pages can be added after the initial binding by opening up the plastic comb.
