An alternative binding choice for one of Gateway Bookbinding Systems' sibling firms is where PLASTIKOIL first appeared. They used comb binding in the 1960s to bind all of their publications at that time. The business was searching for an alternative, something novel and novel in keeping with their forward-thinking philosophy. They discovered a little, regional producer of this innovative, new continuous plastic spiral style of binding. Books with coil binding looked fantastic, could be opened completely, and could lay flat. Gateway switched to plastic spiral and hasn't looked back since! With the use of the original plastic formulations and basic coil forming machinery, Gateway Bookbinding transformed this innovative plastic binding product into PLASTIKOIL, one of the most widely used mechanical binding options for books and printed projects today.
