Plastikoil Pantone Colour Coils

Should you not find the colour that you are looking for in our published colour selection then we might have it amongst the many special colours we have already made for our customers. If we cannot find anything there, then we can supply a quotation to have a special colour match made to enhance your corporate identity.

Once you have decided on the colours that you need, then you need to decide on the right size (diameter) of Coil you will need for the document you are binding. We manufacture a range of sizes from 6mm through to 50mm, 16 spiral sizes in total. So if you are binding anything from a few sheets up to over 400* sheets, we have a Coil size to suit.

The table above details illustrations of each of the 16 sizes of Coil we manufacture (drawing not to scale). Underneath each illustration you will find a note detailing the number of single sheets that can be bound with each Coil size, this is based on 80gsm stock. In addition we have included an approximate book thickness.

To make your selection even easier, we have created a Coil size guide which you can download now or alternatively just request a ready to use printed and bound version.

If you are not sure, please don’t forget that we are here to help, just call 020 8810 5770 or email sales@pdcuk.com.

Box Quantities

Standard Pack Quantities

PDC make Plastikoil in Standard box quantities for all sizes from 6mm through to 50mm, details below.

*Based on 80gsm paper excl. covers

Bulk Pack Quantities

In our most popular sizes, we supply in Bulk pack quantities. Bulk packs simply contain more Coils which means that we can reduce the amount of packaging we use. That’s good news for the environment and our customers. Bulk packs attract a further discount from our standard packs, so you save money and we do a little bit more for the environment.

Plastikoil Length

PDC manufacture Coil to suit all standard paper sizes (A5, A4 and A3). However we can manufacture any length that you need between 160mm up to one metre. So whether you need standard or special length Coil, just ask and we can produce to your exact requirements.

Plastikoil Pitch

The final consideration when ordering your Plastikoil, is the pitch that the Coil is made in. All this means is that the Coil will be made so that it will spin easily into the holes that you punch in your document. Depending on the type of machine you are using, the shape of the hole will be either round or oval (double D shape). Both shapes of hole work well, but if you are creating a document with a lot of pages, then we would generally recommend an oval hole pattern. Oval hole patterns make the Coil insertion process a lot easier.

Anyway, back to hole Pitch: We manufacture three pitches of Coil. Primarily a 4:1” Pitch (0.2475”). A 4:1” Pitch is now the most commonly used pitch of Coil. So if you have recently bought your punching machine or the tooling that goes in it, it will generally be 4:1”Pitch. The next pitch Coil that we produce is a 6mm pitch, this is no longer widely used and will generally be used with machines purchased from manufacturers like Renz, it will still work well and we can supply in any size and length. Finally we produce a 3:1” Pitch Coil. A 3:1” Pitch hole is generally associated with Wire-O binding not Coil binding. However this hole pitch is used by customers who already have Wire-O punching equipment and are not ready or do not want to move to a 4:1” or 6mm Pitch. The other users are those that need to produce a lot of large documents that will require them using coil sizes from 25mm up to 50mm. Whilst using other pitches (especially in an oval hole format) is possible, the 3:1” hole size that will be used is nothing like the small round or square holes used for regular Wire-O binding, instead it wil be an oval hole shape, usually 6.5 x 5.5mm big, using this size and pitch of hole, makes inserting larger Coils quick and simple.
