Binding Spines 5 mm HERLITZ, pack of 100, red

HERLITZ binding spines, 5 mm diameter, pack of 100 in red, provide a compact and practical binding solution for small reports, booklets and documents. Made from durable plastic, these spines are compatible with manual and electric comb binding machines that accept 5 mm combs. Their small diameter is designed for thin documents where a neat, low-profile finish is required, making them suitable for routine office, school and home projects.

Advantages

The plastic construction offers reliable durability and repeated opening and closing without deformation. A 5 mm diameter delivers a slim bound edge that keeps documents compact while allowing pages to turn smoothly. Supplied as a pack of 100, the set ensures consistent colour and size across multiple bindings and reduces the need for frequent repurchasing. Compatibility with common comb-binding machines simplifies workflow and saves time during document preparation.

How to use

Choose a comb-binding machine compatible with 5 mm spines and punch holes along the document edge according to the machine’s guidelines. Align the red 5 mm comb onto the machine’s open teeth, thread the punched sheets onto the comb, then close the comb securely using the machine’s closing mechanism or manual closing bar. Verify that pages turn freely and that the comb is fully closed before handling the finished document.

Usage recommendations

For best results, limit binding to thin documents that fit a 5 mm diameter—typically up to about 10–15 sheets depending on paper thickness. Store the spines flat in a dry environment away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve shape and colour. When assembling multiple copies, use consistent punching alignment to ensure a uniform appearance across documents.
