Where to Buy Screw Posts

You can find a huge variety of screw posts right here at Binding101. We offer a selection of different materials, including aluminum (most popular), steel (most durable), and plastic (least expensive). Screw posts are also called Chicago screws and binding posts, and are also available large variety of sizes to allow for screw post binding up to 5" and even more with extensions. Here is a list of our variety of posts available:

    • Aluminum Screw Posts - All of our aluminum screw binding posts feature one slotted side. For small binding bolts up to 3/8", the other side features a hole that allows the screw to bind tightly with the post, creating a more secure bind. For large screw posts, however, the other side is smooth, as the post is long enough to create a strong bind with the screw without needing that additional length provided by the hole.

    • Steel Screw Posts - What makes steel screw posts different from traditional aluminum posts? In addition to the material being a zinc coated steel for extra strength and durability, steel binding posts feature threading all the way through the post, which allows for the tightest and most secure hold to prevent unintentional de-binding.

    • Plastic Snap Lock Screw Posts - If you've been searching for a lightweight, low-priced, and hassle-free way to bind small swatches, presentations, photo albums, and more, then plastic screw posts might be a great choice for you. The are made of a durable resin plastic that is very lightweight, and are very economically priced, making them a popular choice for individuals, businesses, schools, churches, and many other users. Plastic screw posts, also called plastic Chicago screws, are made of a two-piece design that easily snaps together. Simple to assemble, just place the post (female) portion into a pre-drilled hole, and then place the screw (male) portion into the post. With the pressure of your fingers, snap them together.

    • Plastic Push-Lock Screw Posts - Made of a durable clear resin plastic, snap posts are available in either a small or large head option. They function the exact same way, the only difference is that the screw end (male piece) comes with either a 3/8" or a 17/32" head diameter; so the choice is based solely on user-preference. The screw end is flat, and the post end (female piece) is slightly rounded on top and features a hole through the middle that allows the screw end to attach. The screw end does feature threading, although is not meant to be screwed in and, instead, just pressed and snapped together. The purpose of the threading is to create the strong hold and keep the pieces together through even heavy use.

    • Plastic Snap Lock Screw Posts with Loops - If you love the functionality and convenience of our plastic screw posts, but want to hang your booklet or use them to hang a foam board sign, then buy these hanging plastic screw posts online.
