FAQs

What is the maximum number of sheets this 16mm spine can bind?

The GBC ClickBind 16mm spine can bind up to a maximum of 145 sheets of A4 paper.

Can I re-open and re-use these binding spines?

Yes, the ClickBind system features a zipper that allows the spine to be opened and closed multiple times, enabling easy editing and re-use.

What type of punching machine do I need?

You need a punching machine that supports a 3:1 pitch format for these spines.

Are these spines suitable for international paper sizes?

These spines are specifically designed for A4 paper size. Use with other paper sizes may affect capacity and lay-flat capability.

What material are the spines made from?

The spines are made from environmentally conscious, fully recyclable polypropylene.

How do I edit a document bound with a ClickBind spine?

You will need a special tool (often included with ClickBind machines or sold separately) to unzip the spine. Once open, you can add or remove pages, then re-zip the spine to secure the document.

What is the difference between ClickBind and WireBind?

ClickBind uses a plastic spine with a zipper closure for easy editing, while WireBind typically uses metal wire combs. These GBC ClickBind spines are compatible with WireBind systems in terms of punching, but the binding mechanism is specific to ClickBind.

Troubleshooting

Spine will not close properly.

Ensure all punched pages are correctly aligned and that no excess paper is obstructing the zipper mechanism. Check for any debris caught in the spine.

Pages are difficult to turn after binding.

Verify that the correct 3:1 pitch punching machine was used. Ensure the spine is not overfilled beyond its 145-sheet capacity. If editing, ensure the spine was re-zipped correctly.

Spine zipper is stiff or jammed.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant applied carefully to the zipper track might help. Ensure no paper fragments are lodged in the track.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Allows for easy editing and re-use of bound documents.
  • Documents lay flat for convenient photocopying and reading.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity.
  • Environmentally friendly due to recyclable material and re-usability.
  • Compatible with both ClickBind and WireBind systems.

Cons

  • Requires a specific punching machine (ClickBind or 3:1 pitch)
  • 16mm capacity might be insufficient for very large documents.
  • Spines are single-color (black).
  • Editing requires a specific tool to unzip the spine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

To use the GBC ClickBind binding spines, you first need to punch your A4 documents using a machine compatible with a 3:1 pitch punching format. Once the pages are punched, align the spine with the punched holes and feed the spine through them. Finally, close the spine by engaging the zipper mechanism, ensuring it is fully secured.

Compatibility:

These 16mm ClickBind spines are designed for use with GBC ClickBind machines. They are also compatible with any WireBind system that utilizes a 3:1 punch pattern. Ensure your punching machine has a 3:1 pitch to guarantee proper function.

Care:

Store the binding spines in a dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their material integrity. The polypropylene material is durable, but avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures. If the spine becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives.
