Wire bindings and accessories
SPRINTIS offers a large selection of binding wires - in both 3:1 and 2:1 pitch patterns and in different colours, including the most popular black, white and silver. We offer pre-cut binding wires, intended for A5 and A4 paper sizes, and wire bindings on spool. With wire binding you can bind your pages fast, safe and professional. Documents that are bound with wire binding will open completely flat and allow 360 degree rotation of bound pages. You can choose the exact colour, size, and diameter, or contact us if your needs are more unique - additional colours and sizes are available.

Advantages of wire-stitching
No more loose documents flying about: this type of binding – alsoknown as wire-comb binding orWire-O-binding ( , or ) – really comes into its own where stability and reliability are required, whilst maintaining a professional appearance. Further advantages of using these cost-effective products:
- The dimensionally stable nature of wire-o binding protects important personal documents.
- Wire-O binding is a straightforward solution for creating a professional-looking and attractive folder from sheets of paper and transparencies.
- Elegant brochures that can be opened 360 degrees can be produced quickly using high-quality yet cost-effective wire-o binding.
- Thanks to the binding, booklets such as notebooks or instruction manuals remain flat when opened.
- Calendar hangers, which are incorporated into the binding spines, enable the design and easy installation of an attractive wall calendar.
- Accessories: The SPRINTIS range includes practical filing strips for the selected wire-o spines.
Special wire-binding machines are required for the binding process. This also requires the sheets to be punched. SPRINTIS offers suitable punching machines for both square and round holes in its online shop.

Uses of wire-bound documents
Wire-stitched bindings have a wide range of uses. They are ideal for producing reports, presentations, manuals, training materials, calendars, notebooks and, indeed, any documents where it is desirable for the bound pages to lie flat.

Choice of binding combs and accessories
To strike the right note for every occasion and purpose, SPRINTIS offers a wide range of different colours for the wire binding combs. Whether classic, elegant or in your company’s primary colour, we’ve got you covered. This applies to both pre-cut binding combs and those on spools, which are also available as bespoke products in all standard colours via our online shop. We look forward to hearing from you!
A wide selection of different shapes, colours and lengths also awaits you when choosing our calendar hangers, which are primarily used in wire comb binding and are incredibly easy to handle. The relevant calendar hanger is simply inserted into the binding. The straight calendar hanger variant is also suitable for use with fully automatic binding machines.
Combinations: Cover sheets and back covers for wire-o binding
Where required, back covers and front covers act as a high-quality protective cover, safeguarding the pages from dirt or creasing. The advantage of this combination is a significantly increased durability of the wire-bound documents. For this purpose, we offer various formats and materials, such asrigid PVC orpolypropylene film in different thicknesses. Depending on your requirements, the cover sheet can be transparent,matt-transparent ortranslucent and coloured.
Difference between wire-o binding and spiral binding
These two binding methods are often confused with one another, but what is the difference? SPRINTIS’s spiral bindings consist of plastic spirals which are twisted into the holes after the sheets have been punched and then bent over at both ends.
With wire binding, on the other hand, a wire comb is pressed into the punched holes of the documents using a suitable binding machine. Wire binding offsets the higher initial cost of a wire-binding machine, on the one hand, through the high stability of the binding and, on the other, through the flexibility it offers in choosing which documents to bind. Furthermore, when the product is opened out, there is no noticeable page misalignment.
