The process of mechanically fastening pages together using a continuous, spiraled piece of plastic or metal is a common method of document assembly. This technique creates a finished product with pages that can rotate 360 degrees, lying flat when open. A completed instructional manual or a student’s report are examples of materials that might utilize this binding style.
This method offers several advantages, including durability and ease of use. The ability for pages to turn freely and remain open without assistance makes it suitable for items requiring frequent reference. Historically, this binding style gained popularity due to its cost-effectiveness and the relative simplicity of the equipment required, leading to its widespread adoption in both commercial and personal settings.
