Spiral Book Binder
A quick solution that allows you to shelve and protect spiral bound materials.

The Spiral Book Binder, our most recent cooperative effort designed with the assistance of the University of Iowa and consulting with preservation librarians and book conservators, is a quick and easy solution developed specifically for spiral bound books. The .040 sandstone archival board is scored and flexed to form the binder’s spine. The .020 PETG clear cover, attached with durable C grade cloth, shows the cover of the book you insert. For books with a spiral larger than 7/16, 1/2 or 3/4", a high-density acrylic coated dark gray archival board strap or wire for 1/2" spines is riveted to the inside spine and is used to spear the book’s spiral. William Minter, bookbinder, has worked with us this past year to develop a solution for books with a 1/4” spiral using a stainless steel wire. For books with a 1/4" spiral, a stainless steel wire is used. A hole is pre-drilled through the spine of the binder for the locking mechanism.

Insertion entails slipping the spiral of the book over the strap, attaching the polypropylene lock through the spine hole and strap or wire, applying the lock nut on the inside of the binder and clipping the end of the shaft to the appropriate length. The binder is available with 3/4, 1-1/4 or 1-3/4 inch spine strap or wire for ¼" spirals. Custom size minimum order: 25 pieces.
