Also, clipping the stack of paper together with a bulldog clip helps keeping the holes aligned. But if we have many people doing it, hopefully it won’t take too long. We noticed that the electric machine can’t insert the spirals when the book is the maximum thickness. The other must then insert the spirals into the holes by hand. If we are going to make 300 copies of the book, we need to have some kind of system where one person does hole punching, one is ready to always give a new stack for punching, and maybe one who re-collates the hole punched pages into a book. When we started punching holes into the pages with the spiral binder we noticed that it is quite time consuming. It’s good to know for future reference, I might need to use it again for something else. Damian gave us a short introduction to how it works, which was great. You just need to get the key from the office. I had no idea where that was let alone that we can use it freely. We started by cutting A3 paper into A5s with the electric guillotine on our floor. In the end of our little workshop me and Hannah had a clear opinion of which cover we think is the best for the Anthology. I think the process was really useful for us in order to notice which cover concepts work for this book and which don’t. The whole session took us about 3 hours and we accomplished a lot in that time. All the mockups were different adaptations of spiral binding. It also creates a direct parallel alignment from the left page to the right page with respect to cross overs.Today me and Hannah went to uni to do cover mockups for the Anthology book. This is considered by some to be the “high end” style of binding due to its cleaner presentation of binding. It will be ordered by Wrap-Ups at the color and size chosen for each job. The manufacturer sends this wire pre-formed on a spool. Wrap-Ups commonly refers to this style of wire as Wire-O for simplicity’s sake. Its durability also makes plastic the preferred material for products that will be used frequently.īoth wire names have been trademarked by their respective manufacturers to develop brand recognition, but there is no true difference in the quality of either in comparison to the other. The crimped edges make the products safer and plastic spiral binding is therefore commonly used in children’s books, cookbooks, and street guides. One of the best features about plastic spiral binding is it will always maintain its original shape, even when crushed. Each coil after insertion is crimped and bent on each end to avoid any reversal, or backing-out, of book. This coil is formed inline and dropped automatically into two binding machines for a total throughput of up to 1,000 books per hour. This type of binding coil is formed in-house at Wrap-Ups to the exact size specific to the book thickness. Not adjusting when necessary would lead to the pin punching out a partial hole at the top or bottom of the book. Some patterns do not allow for removal of a punching pin, leading to a necessary adjustment in book size. In addition, the number of holes per inch in a chosen pattern can affect the top to bottom dimensions of a book. The shape and size of punch holes both factor into deciding the margins of a particular project. Different elements require different punch patterns, some requiring bigger punches than others, which consequently lead to larger margins for paper removal to be necessary.
