Wire binding is one of the most popular binding styles, and with the many unique benefits that it offers, it’s easy to see why. In the list below, we take a look at five of the benefits of binding with twin loop wires.
- Tamper-Resistant – Unlike binding with coils, which can be easily removed and replaced by hand, or combs, which allow documents to be edited, twin loop wires require specialized equipment to unbind and rebind, which makes them tamper resistant.
- Lays Flat – Wire-bound books lay flat when opened, and the pages can be turned to the back of the book (similar to a spiral-bound notebook) for ease of use when taking notes.
- Sophisticated – Documents bound with duo-wire have a sophisticated and professional look that can’t be matched by plastic coils or combs. Along with the tamper-resistant properties that they carry, the polished look of twin loop wire is one of the main reasons that wire binding is the most common style used in legal and financial industries.
- Strong – Because they’re made from metal instead of plastic, twin loop wires are extra strong, and documents bound with them can stand up to years of use.
- Versatility – In addition to binding booklets, double-loop wires can also be used to create custom calendars. Since they can easily cut to fit unusual documents with standard wire-cutters, they are an ideal choice for creating calendars with wire calendar hangers (which require that the wire be cut into two separate pieces to accommodate the notch that is added to the center of the calendar).
