FAQs

What is the maximum number of pages this 6mm wire can bind?

The 6mm GBC WireBind spine can bind up to 130 pages.

What type of binding machine do I need for these wires?

You need a multi-functional, 21-loop comb/wire binding machine.

Are these wires reusable?

No, GBC WireBind spines are designed for permanent binding and are not reusable once crimped.

What is the color and material of these binding wires?

The wires are white and made of metal.

Can I use these wires for binding smaller than A4 documents?

While designed for A4, you can use them for smaller documents as long as they are punched correctly for the 21-loop system.

How many wires are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 100 pieces of the binding wire.

Will the bound document open flat?

Yes, WireBind allows pages to lie flat and rotate 360 degrees.

Troubleshooting

Wire does not close properly

Ensure the wire is correctly seated in the binding machine and that the machine's closing mechanism is aligned with the wire.

Pages are not binding securely

Verify that the correct wire size (6mm for up to 130 pages) is being used for the document thickness. Check that the binding machine is functioning correctly.

Document does not lie flat after binding

This is uncommon with wire binding but can occur if the wire is unevenly crimped. Ensure the binding machine applies even pressure.

Holes punched incorrectly for wire binding

Use a 21-hole punch specifically designed for wire binding to ensure proper alignment and hole spacing.
