Wire Binding by Twin Loop

An economical, durable choice for reports, workbooks, journals, catalogues, instructional materials, cookbooks, legal documents and calendars. Documents fold completely flat, need minimal desk space, and stay open without holding — with no adhesives or folding required, so production is quick.
