Plastic Coil

Binding documents for reports, proposals and professional presentations has been made convenient and cost-effective by the use of the coil binding machine. These equipment could create a sleek and professional  look for your reference materials and training manuals.  Documents are securely binded but if revisions are necessary, they could also be unbound easily.  Binding has also been utilized at home for filing personal documents and collections of artistic writings, clippings and recipes.
Plastic coil binding is becoming the most popular type of short-run book binding method in different companies. The plastic coil is very functional and secure. It is available in a wide array of colors. The plastic coil-bound book pages could be rotated 360 degrees and will lay flat. Because of its resiliency, plastic coil is great for bound media that is mailed or shipped.  Even if the coil binding is bent during transport, it will bounce back to its original shape.

In the industry, Filmsource is known to be the best distributor of inexpensive and high quality plastic coil. Their website (www.film-source.net) offers the primary types of plastic coil for the online shopper. These are the 4:1, 5:1, and, 6mm plastic coils.  4:1 means there are 4 holes punched in every inch of your binding edge, 5:1 means there are 5 holes in every inch punched and 6mm is somewhere between the two.  The 4:1 plastic coil is the most popular type of coil bind because of its versatility.  It allows the user to bind books as small as 10 pages and as large as 1-1/2 inches thick.  The 5:1 plastic coil, on the other hand, has been referred to as the nicest looking plastic coil because of its tight hole pattern. This type can bind a book as small as 10 pages and as large as 7/8 inches.  Finally, the 6mm plastic coil which is one newer types, will bind the same-sized documents as the 4:1, but the this has a slightly tighter hole pattern. 

The three types of plastic coils are 12 inches or 36 inches long.  These are available in black, white, red, clear, gold, silver, purple, burgundy, brown, charcoal, teal, orange, pastel pink, forest green, leaf green, navy blue, royal blue, sky blue, and baby blue colors.

Besides their products, Filmsource also teaches the user how to go about binding documents.  It instructs the user to first punch the loose sheets of paper using their coil binding machine.  If the user has an electric inserter, he can manually insert the plastic coil into the first few holes then use the feed wheel or roller to insert the coil.  However, if this device is not available, the user can manually twist or roll the plastic coil into the book.  Finally, while keeping the pliers flat and horizontal to your work table, squeeze the pliers tight and without releasing, twist them clockwise to crimp. The deeper you can get the coil into the pliers the nicer the crimp will be.

Purchasing plastic coil online is simple.  Just select the particular type and color and add to your shopping cart. Payment is made through credit card.
