Coil binding and comb binding are two popular binding methods. They correspond to coil binding machines and comb binding machines respectively. Comb binding has been popular for the longest time, and coil binding has become more and more popular due to the appearance of electric binding machines.
The difference between coil binding and comb binding
Coil and comb binding looks very similar. They both need to use a binding machine to bind the binding material into a text based on the punching of the paper. This process does not require the use of glue and only needs to punch all the paper to bind. Bound documents are more flexible than glued documents and can be folded at multiple angles. The most important thing is that the bound documents can be disassembled without damaging the paper. The binding material has a variety of colours and materials (metal and plastic), you can choose according to your preferences. Of course, there are also big differences between them, the binding method and the working method of the binding machine used are obviously different.
Coil binding (spiral binding):
Coil binding is to use continuous coils to connect all the holes in the series to play a binding role. You can select a professional coil binding machine to operate.
The difference between coil binding is:
- The binding machine used for binding can be electric;
- The bound plastic collar is spiral and continuous;
- The end of the rubber ring needs to be fixed to prevent the page from sliding;
- The bound document can be folded back 360°;
- Can be used for text binding of 100 pages or more;
- You can manually turn the coil to disassemble the text;
The advantage of coil spiral binding is that it can be folded 360°, which is more flexible. When choosing a binding machine, you can choose an electric coil binding machine. The Electric Coil Inserter binding of the electric binding machine can save more time and bind more text. Generally choose tianse electric coil binding machine to operate, it has a punching handle, covering Letter size (19 holes), A4 size (21 holes), A5 size (15 holes) and other sizes. It is a combination of punching and binding. All-in-one multifunctional electric binding machine.
Comb binding:
Comb binding, as the name suggests, is to use comb-like binding materials to bind documents. The binding material is a combination of small circles. You can use the comb binding machine to open the circles and insert them into each hole on the paper to bind, just like Use all comb teeth to insert at the same time like a comb. It appeared earlier than coil binding and can bind professional documents. It is widely used in the office environment and is the most popular binding method nowadays. The difference between comb binding is:
- The binding machine used is a comb binding machine;
- The bound materials can be disassembled by the binding machine and can be reused
- The bound documents can be laid flat but cannot be folded 360°
The comb binding machine used for comb binding has many appearances, but the most basic comb and handle are all present, and the binding operation of each brand is the same. The handle of the comb binding machine can bind documents while punching holes in the paper. In addition, the handles are usually divided into two types, single handle and double handle, and the operation of the double handle comb binding machine will be more stable.
Finally, we are most concerned about the price issue. First of all, the prices of the materials used in the two binding methods are basically the same. The market is usually bundled with 100. The price of a single package of ordinary brands is below 10 US dollars, and the better one is in the range of 20-30 US dollars. In terms of the price of binding machines, coil binding machines usually use electric spiral binding machines, which are much more expensive than comb binding machines, generally more than $200. Comb binding machine is more practical and cheap, Tianse brand binding machine will not exceed 100 US dollars, we recommend using Tianse comb binding machine.
Which of these two binding methods is right for you? I believe you will have the answer in mind after reading the article.
