Binding consumables
My Print binding consumables — combs, wires, coils, covers and calendar hangers for every binder type. The catalogue has five consumable types: plastic comb, metal wire, plastic coil, covers and calendar hangers. The rule is simple — the consumable must match your binder type and the block thickness.
Below — which consumable for which binder, and how to pick diameter and pitch.
Which consumable to choose
| Consumable type | Material | For which binder | Pitch / holes | Ø, mm | Binds sheets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plastic comb | Plastic | Comb binder | Rectangular holes | 6–28 | 1–250 |
| Metal wire | Metal | Wire binder | 3:1 and 2:1 | 6.4–15.9 | 15–140 |
| Plastic coil | Plastic | Coil binder | 4:1 | 8–25 | 30–220 |
| Cover | Card / plastic | Any type | — | A4 | Front + back |
| Calendar hanger | Metal | Wall flip calendars | — | — | Block hanger |
Consumable types in detail
Plastic comb
Rectangular tines slot into punched holes. Editable: open the comb with an opener to add or remove a sheet. Diameters 6–28 mm cover blocks from a few up to ~250 sheets.
Metal wire
Twin-loop metal wire (double wire): the block lies flat and opens a full 360°. Pitch 3:1 — for thinner blocks (up to ~120 sh.), 2:1 — for thick ones. Non-editable, premium look.
Plastic coil
A single plastic coil, pitch 4:1. Flexible and crush-resistant, rotates 360°, available in colours. Ø 8–25 mm for 30–220 sheets.
Covers and hangers
Card (leather-emboss) and clear plastic A4 covers — front and back of the block, for any binding type. Wire-o hangers — for wall flip calendars.

By block thickness. The thinnest blocks take Ø 6 mm; the thickest (comb) up to Ø 28 mm (~250 sheets). Use the «binds sheets» range on each product and add a small margin.
3:1 (three holes per inch) — for thinner blocks up to ~120 sheets; 2:1 — for thick blocks with a larger diameter. The wire pitch must match your binder’s punch.
Depending on type and diameter — 50 or 100 pcs per pack. Smaller diameters usually come in 100s, larger ones in 50s.
Yes, with a plastic comb — it is editable: open the comb with an opener, add or remove a sheet, close it again. Metal wire and coil are non-editable.
Yes — card and clear A4 covers are universal: they go as the front and back of the block regardless of the binding type (comb, wire or coil).
