Preparing Cover Holes and Binding for Replacement Covers

Replacement notebook covers are supplied unpunched by default. If you need us to punch them, state in the Notes whether your notebook uses 2:1 or 3:1 wire pitch. The pitch must match the existing page-hole pattern.

๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธ Punching

  1. Find out your pitch (2:1 or 3:1) from the existing notebook or its wire.
  2. Measure the finished cover size and the page block.
  3. Write the pitch in the Notes field when you order.
โš ๏ธ Warning: do not order punching until you know the pitch. A wrong pitch will not line up with your existing pages. Universal alignment is not guaranteed.

๐Ÿ”— Binding

  • Wire binding is permanent and cannot be opened and reused as a refillable mechanism.
  • Rebinding needs a new wire element sized for the complete stack.
  • Cover-only printing does not include the replacement wire or binding unless we confirm it separately.

For pitch, sizes and page capacity, see the binding guide and 2:1 vs 3:1 pitch.
