These terms are common to the punch and bindery industry.

Color coil A plastic coil that looks like a spring which is threaded

through round holes punched in the document then the

ends are cut off and crimped. The holes are either 4:1 or

5:1 (4 holes per inch or 5 holes per inch). This type of bind

lays flat and even folds around for easy handling of the

document.

and has round corners.

Plastic binding The name used to describe GBC's most common binding

method. The 19 and 21 rectangular hole, Plastic Comb

holes that appear to be the same as Twin Loop but are

actually slightly larger. The larger holes enable correct

operation of the ProClick Pronto finishing devise.

Tabbing

(hanging chad)

Tabbing or hanging chad is when a hole is not punched

cleanly through the material leaving a piece of paper

hanging from the edge. This condition occurs when a die

set is worn and will usually result in miss-feeds.

Twin loop Looped wire element that is feed into square or round

holes in the document in a similar fashion to Plastic

Binding. The holes are either 2:1 or 3:1 (2 holes per inch or

3 holes per inch). It is then squeezed together or crimped

to create an attractive bind that lays flat.

Velobind A heat seal plastic bind that is best known for it's security

and it's attractive look. The one draw-back for VeloBind is

that it is not a lay-flat bind style. It is most often used in the

Legal market for it's security feature.
