FAQs
What is the maximum number of sheets these wires can bind?
These 5mm WireBind Binding Wires can bind up to 35 sheets of A4 paper.
Are these wires suitable for A5 documents?
These specific wires are pre-cut for A4 paper. For A5, you would need to source A5-sized wires.
Can I add or remove pages after binding?
No, GBC WireBind binding is permanent. Pages can only be removed by destroying the wire itself, making it ideal for security.
What does '3:1 pitch' mean?
3:1 pitch refers to the number of holes punched per inch (3 holes per inch), resulting in 34 holes for an A4 document. This is standard for most WireBind machines.
Are there other colors or sizes available?
Yes, GBC offers WireBind wires in a full range of sizes (up to 14mm) and various colors to customize your document finish.
What is the difference between 3:1 and 2:1 pitch wires?
3:1 pitch wires (like these) have more holes and are generally for binding fewer pages (up to about 125 with larger wires). 2:1 pitch wires have fewer holes and are designed for binding larger documents, up to 250 sheets.
How should I store these binding wires?
Store the wires in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent corrosion or damage.
Troubleshooting
Wire does not close properly
Ensure the wire is correctly seated on the closing tool of the binding machine and that the pages are fully inserted onto the wire's loops before closing.
Pages are difficult to turn
Verify that the correct wire size is used for the number of sheets. Overfilling can strain the binding. Ensure the wire is closed evenly.
Binding appears loose or unstable
Check that the hole punch is creating clean, precise holes and that the wire loops are fully engaged in these holes. Ensure the wire is fully compressed.
