HOW TO BIND A BOOK USING WIRE-O?

In order to bind a document with wire-o you first need to have the correct document binding machine. We have lots to choose from, click here for the options, or see our article on how to select the right document binding machine for you. Once you have this machine the next step is to ensure that your have the right hole punching pattern in place.

Once you have confirmed this it is time to measure the thickness of your book block and order the wire-o you need. See our article on how to select the wire-o.

Now for the binding. Use the punch throat ruler and side margin control to center the punching of your document. Tip: Insert a single test sheet and make sure you disengage any hole that is left partially exposed on the punch throat ruler. Failing to do so, will leave a partially perforated hole at the edge of your document.

Once this unit is setup insert about 20% less than the maximum capacity of the punch neatly and properly aligned into the punch throat. Then press the foot pedal (if you have a foot pedal operated unit) or pull the handle towards you to punch.

Once the holes are punched in the paper you are ready to insert the coil. See below our quick 4 steps to using a coil inserter.

Align punched document and place it on top of machine or table.
Insert the wire-o into the bound document from last pages to first pages then insert front cover. TIP: The back cover should be inserted last with inside facing up. this will leave the seam of the closed wire inside the back cover of the book.
Insert the document with into your wire closer, ensure that the closer is set to close the correct side of binding element.
Press foot pedal or pull hand lever towards you to close the wire. Check to ensure that the wire is just touching (see image for correct closing amount)

Once the book is bound remember to reverse the cover to being on the front of the book.
