As a result, Spiral develops Plastic Coil Binding which becomes a great success. Today, Spiral markets the same product under the trademarked name Spiralastic®.

World War II ends and the economy rebounds. Spiral's customers grow, and like Mead, many want to bring the binding process in-house. As a result, Spiral sells some of their binderies and the equipment division flourishes.

Equipment division relocates to Newark, NJ from New York City.
