Plastic Spiral Coil Colors

The coil is one of the first things a reader notices about a spiral bound book, and it is one of the least expensive ways to make a book look intentional. Plastic spiral coil is available in 45 colors, from standard black and white to neons, metallics, and a glow in the dark option.

Plastic coil is our most color-flexible binding. If you are still deciding between binding styles, see our spiral and wire-o binding options.

Choosing a Coil Color

Match or contrast, but choose on purpose. A coil that picks up an accent color from your cover art looks designed. A default black coil on a colorful cover looks like nobody made a decision.

Consider the whole product line. If you are publishing a series, a consistent coil color across every title makes the set read as a collection on a shelf or in a product photo.

Think about wear. Coil color does not affect durability, but lighter colors on a book that lives in a bag will show scuffs and marks sooner than darker colors.

Coil size is separate from color. Coil diameter is determined by your page count and ranges from 1/4 inch to 2 inches. Every color is available across the size range.
