Bookbinding wire

Wire binding is one of the world's oldest and most popular methods for binding books and documents, offering a professional look that allows pages to turn and books to stay open to a specific page while lying flat. Many bindery operations rely on bookbinding wire in their processes, including spiral binding, double-O binding, twin-loop binding and other methods. 

Bekaert coated bookbinding wire for the printing and binding industry is versatile, high quality and available on demand. Binders can define the style and color of their combs by choosing one of four coated binding wires: galvanized, Tinobind®, Nylobind® or Metalobind®. Our range is the result of more than 50 years of experience as a binding wire supplier.

A wide range of wire coatings

Bekaert offers a comprehensive range of bookbinding coating wires to meet any need, including smooth or shiny wires coated with various colors. Some examples of our wire coatings are:

  • Galvanized wire
    Our range of galvanized wires offers the most basic binding solution in our scope. These wires look simple but offer a good quality and corrosion resistance.
  • Tinobind®
    Tinobind® is a tin-coated steel wire with a basic shiny finish.  This product elevates the basic galvanized wire with just a touch of gloss. Tinobind® offers the best quality/price ratio in our range of neutral colored binding wires.
  • Nylobind®
    Nylobind® is a colored polymer coating on top of steel wire. It is the reference product in our range. Nylobind® is available in a wide spectrum of colors.
  • Metalobind®
    Metalobind® is a transparent colored polymer layer on top of a zinc coated steel wire. These coatings together create a metallic look that adds extra shimmer and depth to your wire combs.
