Also known as double-wire binding because two wires go through a square punched hole. As with all mechanical binding styles, Wire-O binding allows books to lay flat when opened, and fold 360 degrees for single-hand use. That makes this style ideal for products such as cookbooks, instruction manuals, calendars and display and promotional materials.

One advantage of Wire-O binding is that it does not “step up” when opened, allowing images to seamlessly cross over. Semi-concealed, fully-concealed and wraparound covers; mixed stocks; foldouts; pockets and index tabs can all be incorporated into Wire-O-bound products for increased versatility. Wire-O binding elements are available in multiple colors and diameters to give your books a creative flair.

At Finish Line Binderies, we have nine semi-automatic Wire-O binding lines, including four James Burn machines to give you plenty of production muscle and scheduling flexibility. Our Atlanta facility recently added a new GBC Wire-O machine that has allowed them to turn large quantities in significantly less time.
