Description

Wiro Binding — sometimes called wire or spiral binding — is a smart, durable solution for presenting multi-page documents with a clean, professional finish. Whether you’re creating menus, instruction manuals, notebooks, or event programmes, wiro binding offers both style and substance.

What makes it stand out:

  • Lay-flat functionality: Pages open fully and stay flat, making it ideal for hands-free use — perfect for menus on tables, reference guides, or notebooks used on the go.
  • Effortless page turning: The wire spine allows smooth, snag-free flipping, so your content stays pristine even with frequent use.
  • Premium presentation: The exposed wire adds a contemporary, polished look that feels intentional and high-end.
  • Durability: Built to last, wiro binding holds up well over time, even with heavy handling.

Our wire binds use either 3:1 pitch (3 holes to every inch) or a 2:1 pitch (2 holes to every inch) depending on the page count
