See if you’ve ever had a project with these requirements: layflat capabilities, durable construction, a traditional look, plenty of design options and compatibility with mixed stocks. Oh, let’s not forget a rapid turnaround time and a tight production budget. That’s a tall order, but spiral wire binding can fill it. Spiral wire is an economical choice for a wide range of products, including wall and desk calendars, notebooks, memo pads, children’s books, shop manuals, flip charts and more. Index tabs and foldouts are a breeze to include, and even multiple stock weights and finishes can be used.

Cover me — The flexibility of spiral wire binding allows for plenty of cover options. Covers can be thick or thin and may contain design options such as foldouts, pockets, gussets, easels, as well as die cut covers that can register to print for a dramatic opening.

The Eckhart Advantage — At Eckhart & Company, we can produce spiral wire books with several custom cover options. For example, a turned edge front cover can be paired with an easel back cover to form an easy-to-use tabletop display.

Pick a wire, any wire — Spiral wire is available in dozens of gauges that fit a wide range of book bulks. Plenty of colors are available to give your spiral wire books a customized appearance. For large quantities, PMS-matched wire can be ordered to perfectly match corporate logos.

The Eckhart Advantage — There’s almost no spiral binding project we can’t handle. We can bind books that bulk up to 1-3/4” using a 2” coil; that’s among the best in the industry! In addition, our multiple machines give us the capacity to handle even the highest-volume projects.

Spacing counts! — To ensure smooth and efficient spiral wire production, spiral wire-bound books must be trimmed based on the wire size and spacing of the punched holes. Standard spiral wire punching intervals are 5:1 (five holes per linear inch), 4:1, 3.2:1 and 2.5:1.

The Eckhart Advantage — To ensure optimum production quality, let us handle the trimming and punching as well as the binding. Projects that are slightly under-trimmed or improperly punched may require additional work to accept the wire, so involve us during the planning phase to help avoid additional cost and schedule overruns.
