Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum number of pages these 16mm combs can hold?

These 16mm combs are generally recommended for documents ranging from approximately 120 to 140 sheets of standard 20lb paper. The exact capacity can vary based on paper weight and the specific binding machine used.

Are these combs available in other colors?

This specific product listing is for white binding combs. Fellowes offers binding combs in various colors (such as black and navy) and sizes, which may be available under different product codes.

Do I need a special machine to use these combs?

Yes, these binding combs require a comb binding machine to punch the pages and to open and close the combs for binding.

How do I clean the binding combs if they get dirty?

For minor dirt, you can wipe the combs with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Ensure the combs are completely dry before use. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals.

What is the difference between plastic combs and other binding types?

Plastic combs offer a cost-effective and flexible binding solution with a professional look. They allow documents to lay relatively flat for easy reading. Other types, like wire or coil binding, offer different aesthetics and durability.

Can these combs be reused?

Yes, plastic binding combs can be opened and reused to add or remove pages, making them a flexible option for documents that may need updating.

What does '16mm' refer to?

The '16mm' refers to the diameter of the plastic comb, which dictates the maximum number of pages it can bind. A larger millimeter size indicates a thicker comb capable of holding more pages.

Troubleshooting

Combs won't open properly

Ensure the opening mechanism on your binding machine is functioning correctly. Check for any obstructions in the comb opener.

Pages are difficult to insert onto the comb

Verify that the pages were punched correctly and that the comb is fully opened. Ensure you are using the correct comb size for the number of pages.

Bound document does not lie flat

This can sometimes occur if the comb is too small for the document thickness or if the binding machine did not fully close the comb. Try a slightly larger comb or ensure proper closure.

Scratches or marks on the comb surface

Handle the combs carefully during storage and use. Avoid contact with abrasive materials. Minor scratches may be unavoidable with extensive use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances document professionalism with a smooth, glossy finish.
  • Provides a consistent and uniform look across all bound materials.
  • Durable plastic construction ensures longevity.
  • The 16mm size is versatile for many common document lengths.
  • Comes in a convenient pack of 100 for consistent use.

Cons

  • Requires a separate binding machine to use.
  • Limited color options (this specific pack is white).
  • May not be suitable for extremely thick documents (consider larger combs).
  • Plastic combs can be less durable than metal or other specialized binding types.
  • Can be susceptible to scratching if not handled carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible comb binding machine.
  2. Punch the desired number of pages using the binding machine's punching function.
  3. Carefully open the plastic binding combs using the opening mechanism on your binding machine.
  4. Align the punched holes on your document pages with the teeth of the open comb.
  5. Gently slide the comb onto the document pages until fully secured.
  6. Close the binding comb using the release mechanism on your binding machine.

Compatibility:

  • These 16mm combs are compatible with most standard comb binding machines that support 16mm comb sizes and the standard 19-ring hole pattern.
  • Suitable for approximately 120-140 sheets of standard 20lb paper (actual capacity may vary based on paper weight and binding machine performance).

Care:

  • Store combs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or warping.
  • Handle with clean hands to avoid transferring dirt or oils onto the combs, which could affect the final appearance of your documents.
  • Keep away from sharp objects that could scratch the glossy surface.
