Plastic Comb Ring
1. Although the most commonly used color for plastic comb binding is Black, plastic binding combs are available in more than twelve different colors. The current colors that are readily available on the market are: Black, White, Clear, Red, Yellow, Navy Blue, Royal Blue, Maroon, Forest Green, Kelly, Green, Gray and Brown.
2. Plastic comb binding supplies are available in sizes from 3/16'' up to 2''. Combs that are 3/16'' up to 1-1/8'' are round in shape. Combs that are 1-1/4'' up to 2'' are oval in shape and have specially designed locks to prevent the document from coming apart if it is picked up by the spine. Although plastic combs are available in 3/16'' these combs are very small and difficult to use.
3. Plastic comb binding uses a 19 ring holes pattern (19 rectangular holes along a 11'' piece of paper). However, combs are readily available in 15 ring lengths for binding half size books (or for landscape binding), in 21 ring lengths for A4 binding and in 24 ring lengths for binding legal sized documents. Other lengths of plastic combs are available by special order in select colors.
4. Plastic comb binding spines can be imprinted with the name of your company, your company logo or the name of your report. This imprinting is done by either foil stamping or silk screening the information onto the comb.
