Comb Binding

Also known as plastic comb binding or GBC binding, comb binding is a popular book binding method that uses a plastic comb-like spine to hold together a collection of pages. In comb binding, rectangular holes are punched along the edge of the pages, and a flexible plastic comb with multiple rings is inserted through these holes. The plastic combs used in comb binding are available in various colors and sizes, allowing for customization and organization of documents. The size of the comb can be chosen based on the number of pages to be bound, accommodating different page thicknesses.

Comb binding is easy to use and provides a professional finish to documents, making them ideal for reports, manuals, presentations, and other materials that need to be bound together securely.

At Best Deals Print and Packaging, we take great pride in offering you the best binding solution for all your publishing and printing needs. Comb binding comes in two specific styles :

Standard Comb Binding: This is the most common style of comb binding. In this method, rectangular-shaped holes are punched along the edge of the document pages at regular intervals. The plastic comb spine typically has 19 rings (for US Letter size) that match the number of holes punched in the pages. Once the comb is inserted through the holes, it is opened up using a comb binding machine to lock the pages in place securely.
Plastic Comb Spiral Binding: This style of comb binding is less common but offers a unique visual appeal. Instead of rectangular holes, the pages are punched with a spiral pattern of holes along the edge. The plastic comb spine used for this style has a corresponding spiral shape, allowing it to fit into the punched holes and hold the pages securely.
