FAQs

What is the maximum number of pages I can bind with these 8mm combs?

These 8mm GBC CombBind combs can bind up to 45 sheets of standard A4 paper, which is approximately 90 pages when printed on both sides.

Are these combs compatible with any binding machine?

These combs are specifically designed for use with GBC CombBind systems that utilize 21 rings and standard A4 hole spacing.

Can I add or remove pages after binding?

Yes, one of the key benefits of comb binding is its editability. You can unbind the document, add or remove pages, and then rebind it using a comb binding machine.

What material are the combs made from?

The combs are made from high-quality, durable PVC resins.

How do I clean the binding combs?

You can wipe them with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before using them to bind documents.

What is the benefit of the 'lay flat' feature?

Documents bound with these combs lay flat, making them easier to read, write notes on, and photocopy without obstruction.

Can these combs be reused?

Yes, the robust PVC construction allows for multiple uses, making them an economical choice.

Troubleshooting

Document pages are not aligning correctly.

Ensure you are using A4 sized paper and that the document has been punched with the correct 21-ring spacing for A4 CombBind systems. Check that the comb is correctly centered before closing.

Comb does not close properly.

Verify that the number of sheets does not exceed the 45-sheet capacity for the 8mm comb. Ensure the binding machine's closer mechanism is functioning correctly.

Document feels too thick for the 8mm comb.

This comb is rated for up to 45 sheets. If your document is thicker, you will need to select a larger diameter comb from the GBC CombBind range.

Scratches or discoloration on the comb.

These combs are made from durable PVC, but rough handling can cause minor surface marks. Store them properly and handle with care. Discoloration is unlikely under normal conditions but can be exacerbated by prolonged UV exposure.
