Xerox manual Mechanical binding, Looseleaf binding, DocuColor 2000 series design guide

Mechanical binding

Mechanical binding includes an array of devices that can be used to hold a final document together, including spiral binding, plastic binding, and coil binding. Holes or slots are drilled or cut along one gutter edge and wire or plastic binding is inserted. When opened, these bindings allow pages to lie flat. Some even allow for a full 360 degree rotation of the pages. Mechanical binding is often used for training manuals, notebooks, calendars, and technical manuals.

Looseleaf binding

Looseleaf bindings include screw and post bindings and ring binders. They allow for unlimited use of inserts and are ideal for manuals that undergo frequent updates. Pages can be inserted and removed easily.
