FAQs
What is the maximum number of pages these wires can bind?
These 14mm GBC WireBind wires can bind up to 130 pages, which is approximately 125 sheets of standard paper.
Are these wires compatible with any binding machine?
No, these wires are specifically designed for use with GBC WireBind machines that support 34-loop wires.
Can I unbind and rebind a document bound with these wires?
GBC WireBind binding creates a permanent bond. While it's possible to carefully open and re-crimp the wire, it is not designed for easy editing or re-binding like comb binding.
What does '3:1 No9' mean?
'3:1' refers to the pitch, meaning 3 holes per inch. 'No9' is a specific wire size designation. This indicates the wire is designed for machines with a 3:1 pitch and corresponds to a 14mm spine width.
How many wires are in a pack?
Each pack contains 100 GBC WireBind Binding Wires.
What is the difference between WireBind and comb binding?
WireBind offers a more secure, permanent, and professional finish with pages that lie flat and rotate 360 degrees. Comb binding is generally less expensive, allows for easy page addition/removal, but typically has a less premium aesthetic and less secure binding.
Can these wires be used for A5 documents?
These specific wires are designed for A4 documents. WireBind wires come in various lengths for different paper sizes.
Troubleshooting
Wire does not close properly
Ensure the wire is correctly seated in the binding machine's closing dies. Check that the spine width (14mm) is appropriate for the number of pages being bound. Verify the machine is set to the correct wire size.
Pages are not lying flat
Confirm that the correct number of holes (34 for A4) has been punched and aligned. Ensure the wire has been fully crimped by the binding machine.
Wire appears bent or damaged upon arrival
Inspect the pack carefully. If individual wires are damaged, they may not bind correctly. Contact the supplier for replacements if the pack is significantly affected.
Difficulty inserting wire into punched holes
Ensure holes are clean and free of debris. Make sure the wire is not forced and is aligned correctly with the punched edge of the document.
