Plastic bindings

Production and uses of plastic bindings

Plastic bindings can be produced using plastic binding machines or spiral binding machines. The difference lies in the permanence of the binding: spiral binding machines produce permanent bindings. Documents produced using a plastic binding machine can be opened and closed again at a later date.

The range of applications for plastic binding is very wide. It is ideal for producing academic papers, dossiers, presentations, project reports and much more. However, plastic bindings can also be put to good use in other areas, for example to create photo albums, recipe collections or calendars.

For this purpose, SPRINTIS’s high-performance binding machines offer excellent punching and binding capacity and can produce neat plastic bindings even with thick stacks of paper. Furthermore, they feature practical additional functions, such as a removable waste tray for punching waste or a centring system that prevents paper from being punched out of alignment. This ensures that your documents always look impeccable.

Advantages of plastic binding

Plastic binding holds sheets of paper together in a specific order and prevents individual pages from slipping out of place or going missing. In our range, you’ll find a wide selection of plastic binding spines and spiral binding spines. Both types of binding spine have their advantages: spiral binding spines allow the pages to be turned 360° flat and in a space-saving manner. Spiral binding is a durable and virtually indestructible binding method (e.g. for school diaries). Classic plastic binding spines, on the other hand, can be opened and closed at a later date and are suitable for content that is subject to change.

The right binding method for the intended purpose

The differences between the binding types lie primarily in their areas of application and price ranges: brochures with a spiral binding can be turned particularly quietly and smoothly thanks to the spiral shape and smooth surface. They are therefore ideal for college notepads and sheet music. Plastic binding spines, on the other hand, have a low purchase price and are particularly cost-effective. Thanks to the durability and reusability of the binding spines, plastic binding guarantees excellent value for money.

Customisation and formats

Documents bound with plastic binding have a timeless, elegant and professional appearance. In the SPRINTIS range, our customers can choose from a wide variety of diameters, lengths, colours and shapes of binding spines, with the diameter of a binding spine determining how many sheets it can hold. The length of the binding spines is based on standard paper sizes (A4, A5). The use of different colours allows our customers to personalise and categorise their plastic-bound documents. This means the bound documents can be organised and designed entirely according to your preferences. However, should you ever find that something is missing from our existing range, SPRINTIS will always ensure a perfect, tailor-made result with bespoke custom-made products!

As a SPRINTIS customer, you also benefit at all times from fast 24-hour dispatch, fair terms and conditions, and excellent customer service.
