FAQs

What is the maximum number of pages these 10mm wires can bind?

These 10mm GBC WireBind spines 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 create a permanent binding. Once crimped, they cannot be opened to add or remove pages without damaging the wire.

Can I use these wires for documents larger than A4?

These wires are designed for A4 size documents (height 297 mm). For different document sizes, you would need to adjust your page punching and potentially consider different wire lengths if available.

What is the material of the binding wires?

The binding wires are made of durable metal.

How many wires are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 100 white 10mm binding wires.

Will these wires allow my document to open flat?

Yes, a key benefit of GBC WireBind is that documents lie flat and can rotate 360 degrees for convenient use.

Troubleshooting

Wire does not close properly

Ensure the wire is correctly aligned with the binding machine's closer. Check that the wire is not damaged and that the machine's closer mechanism is clean and functional.

Pages do not lie flat after binding

Verify that the correct wire size was used for the number of pages. An overloaded wire can prevent pages from lying flat. Ensure the wire was fully crimped.

Binding is not secure

Check that the wire was closed completely. If using a new machine, consult the machine's manual to ensure correct operation. Ensure the wire itself is not defective.

Document pages are damaged during binding

Ensure the paper is properly aligned before punching. Check that the punching mechanism is clean and not causing tears. Avoid forcing pages or wires.
