Comb binding

Comb binding, also known as plastic comb binding or GBC binding, is a method of binding books and documents that uses a plastic comb to hold the pages together. It is a popular method of binding for documents that need to lay flat when opened, such as presentations, manuals, and reports.

In comb binding, a series of small holes are punched along the edge of the pages, and a plastic comb is then inserted through the holes. The comb has a series of teeth that grip the pages securely in place. The comb can be opened to add or remove pages, making it a suitable option for documents that need to be updated frequently.

One of the advantages of comb binding is that it allows for a high degree of flexibility in the design of the book. Pages can be printed on both sides, and the spine can be left unprinted or printed with a title or other information. It also allows for easy addition or removal of pages, making it a suitable option for documents that need to be updated frequently.

Comb binding is also a relatively inexpensive method of binding and is suitable for small or large runs of books. It's a versatile method that can be used for a variety of documents such as manuals, reports, presentations, and cookbooks.

Comb binding is not as durable as some other methods, such as case binding, but it is suitable for documents that need to be easily updated or modified. The plastic combs come in different sizes and colors, which allows for personalization of the finished product.
