Staple binding

The staple-binding method

Staple binding, also known as wire-o binding or saddle stitching, is a simple yet effective binding method. If you want to produce a staple-bound book yourself, you will need a manual stapler or a binding machine and the appropriate staples. As a preparatory step, the sheets of paper are folded in the middle and placed one inside the other. You then load the staple into the stapler and push it through the centre line of the folded pages from the back. The staple then strikes the base of the stapler, where it is bent by a guide. With staple binding, two, three or four staples can be used. The more staples used, the stronger the binding.

Our stapling wire on a spool is suitable for the fully automated production of stapled booklets in collating staplers. If the bound documents are to be prepared for filing, staple binding can be carried out as ring-eyelet binding . In this case, the staple does not lie flat against the spine of the booklet, but forms a small eyelet through which the documents can be filed without any difficulty.

Advantages of staple binding

Thanks to the use of staples or staple wire, staple binding offers unbeatable value for money. As the binding materials are applied only at specific points and in small quantities, the binding process is very resource-efficient and environmentally friendly. Apart from that, staple binding scores highly, above all, for the way the pages open: when viewing the bound document, the entire page is visible right up to the spine. Even at the edges of the printed page, all the information is clearly legible, creating a wide-angle view. Thanks to the selective binding, the booklets lie flat, are easy to turn the pages of and are comfortable to hold. Staple binding is ideal for documents with a low to medium page count.
