The trade name GBC uses for its Plastic Binding
A plastic coil that looks like a spring which is threaded
through round holes punched in the document then the
ends are cut off and crimped. The holes are either 4:1 or
5:1 (4 holes per inch or 5 holes per inch). This type of bind
lays flat and even folds around for easy handling of the
document.
Covers stock that is the same size as the paper contents
and has round corners.
The name used to describe GBC's most common binding
method. The 19 and 21 rectangular hole, Plastic Comb
type.
A plastic element that snaps together. This style requires
holes that appear to be the same as Twin Loop but are
actually slightly larger. The larger holes enable correct
operation of the ProClick Pronto finishing devise.
Tabbing or hanging chad is when a hole is not punched
cleanly through the material leaving a piece of paper
hanging from the edge. This condition occurs when a die
set is worn and will usually result in miss-feeds.
Looped wire element that is feed into square or round
holes in the document in a similar fashion to Plastic
Binding. The holes are either 2:1 or 3:1 (2 holes per inch or
3 holes per inch). It is then squeezed together or crimped
to create an attractive bind that lays flat.
A heat seal plastic bind that is best known for it's security
and it's attractive look. The one draw-back for VeloBind is
that it is not a lay-flat bind style. It is most often used in the
Legal market for it's security feature.
