Spiral binding is an easy-to-use method of binding documents by sliding plastic coils through holes punched along the spine of the document. This is a great way to tie personal items like scrapbooks or business documents like financial reports or annual reviews. Spiral binding has the added advantage of laying flat without creating cracks in the pages when the document is opened.

Because of its versatility, spiral binding is one of the most common methods for personal and business documents.

Spiral binding is easy to update

If you create a document that needs to be added regularly or needs to be updated unexpectedly, spiral binding allows you to do this quickly and easily without duplicating the entire document or risking damage to other pages.

There are two situations for unbinding a spiral bound document: when you have a replacement spiral, and when you will reuse the same spiral that you removed.

• Use a replacement coil - because you have a new coil, you don't have to worry about damaging the old coil when removing it. Simply cut off the curled end of the coil, unscrew it from the book by hand or machine, add or remove pages, and insert the new coil by hand or using a coil binder.

• Reuse existing coils - Greater care is required when removing coils to be used again. Instead of cutting the ends of the curl, use needle nose pliers to pull the curl away from each end of the coil so that it lines up with the gutter, then carefully rotate the coil out of the book. Make the changes and then reinsert the coil manually very carefully. The coil may be too fragile to be reinserted with a machine. This is a great way to save on binding supplies.

Additional Tips for Changing Spiral Binding

There are a few other things you can do to replace the spiral binding without damaging it.

First, find a hard, flat surface to work with, then place a large book or other heavy object on top of the document for stability while removing and replacing the spiral coil. Make sure not to cover the spine of the document.

Next, take a look at the bottom of the coil so you know how it originally went through the hole in the file. Hold the helical coil at the bottom and twist it in the opposite way that you originally thread it until it is removed from the spine of the document.

Inorganic Spiral Binding

An important cost-saving feature of spiral binding is that it can be done without a machine and still create flawless results for all your documents. By eliminating machine costs and associated electricity bills, you help the environment and reduce your own expenses.

The motorized coil inserter is a good option if you are making many files at once, as it saves the time and muscle fatigue that comes with manually winding the helical coil bindings. Using pre-punched paper saves even more money and time because you don't need to buy a hole punch and drill the holes yourself.

For maximum flexibility when updating your bound documents, you will always be satisfied with spiral binding.
