Plastic Comb Fellowes LAMRE21DR12N 12.5 mm for binding, Black

Fellowes LAMRE21DR12N plastic comb binding element, 12.5 mm diameter in black, is a reusable comb designed for manual or machine comb binding of documents, reports and presentations. It secures pages while enabling documents to lie flat and rotate freely, making it easier to read and photocopy bound materials. The 12.5 mm diameter is intended for medium-thickness documents and provides a neat, re-openable binding solution for office, school or home use.

Advantages

The plastic comb offers durable, flexible rings that resist deformation and allow pages to turn smoothly. Its black finish gives a professional look to finished documents and hides wear from repeated handling. Compatible with standard comb-binding equipment, the element can be opened and closed to add or remove sheets without damaging the spine or pages.

How to use

Position the comb on the comb-binding machine's opener, align punched pages on the prongs and close the comb to engage the bind.

Usage recommendations

Choose 12.5 mm diameter combs for documents of medium thickness (typically up to approximately 100–120 pages depending on paper weight). Store combs flat and protected from direct sunlight to prevent warping. When preparing documents, use consistent hole punching and avoid overfilling the comb beyond its capacity to maintain a tidy, functional binding.
