Metal spiral binding is one of the most common ways to bind printed documents. There's a reason for that: it's a very durable, comfortable, and versatile solution.
For example, when you need to focus on a specific page, the others can be flipped behind without getting in the way. Plus, you forget that hassle of loose sheets scattering everywhere.
Can I bind documents at home?
In theory, yes. Here are the exact steps:
1. The document pages, along with the front and back covers, must be punched.
2. Once the document is ready, the spiral is threaded through the holes.
3. The spiral must be closed by tightening it so the ends don't release the pages.
What you need to do it at home
All steps can be done on your own, but for a well-finished result you need the right tools:
✓ A paper punch to punch the sheets.
✓ A tool to close the spiral.
✓ Metal spirals in the right size.
✓ Covers (transparent or cardboard).
Total cost of the kit: often more than €50-80 for decent-quality tools. And then you have to do it manually every time, hoping the result is even.
