Spiral and coil refer to the same binding method: wire, plastic-coated wire or pure plastic coils inserted through holes drilled along the edge of a book that bind pages together. Spiral binding is a popular binding method ideal for reports, cookbooks, sales presentations, proposals, maintenance and instruction manuals, music books, travel atlases — any kind or style of book where it’s desirable and beneficial for the book to open and lay flat for easy reference. Spiral/coil binding makes it possible for books to open a full 360 degrees meaning all pages can be accessed easily without, in the case of other binding methods, damaging the spine of the book.
