New Product: Spiral-O Wire Combs
We're so excited to now be offering Spiral-O wires! With the combination of the classy and professional look of traditional twin loop wire binding, and the special 19-loop spacing, you can pair these wire binding spines with your GBC plastic comb punch pattern. That means you don't have to spend money on a new wire punch machine to elevate your binding documents -- just punch your pages with a plastic comb punch, put the wires in the 19-holes, and close the wire with a wire closer unit.
These wire bindings are seriously cool, and they will seriously save you money! You can even pair them with 19-hole pre-punched paper and pre-punched covers, which means the only piece of equipment that you need is a wire closer.
Simple, inexpensive, and professional...we love it!
