Spiral Notebooks
Spiral notebooks are the practical choice for anyone who needs their notebook to lay perfectly flat or fold back on itself. The wire-O or plastic coil binding allows 360-degree rotation, making spiral notebooks ideal for desk reference, workbooks, training manuals, and field notebooks.
At Perklets Print, we offer both wire-O (twin-loop wire) and plastic coil spiral binding. Wire-O gives a clean, professional look with a metal finish, while plastic coil is more durable and available in a range of colours. Both options allow the notebook to open flat and fold completely back.
Our spiral notebooks feature custom-printed covers on thick 350 GSM card stock with lamination, and interior pages on 80–100 GSM woodfree paper. They are popular for planners, recipe books, sketch pads, educational workbooks, and branded corporate notebooks.

FAQs: Spiral Notebooks
What is the difference between wire-O and plastic coil binding?
Wire-O uses twin-loop metal wire for a clean, professional appearance. Plastic coil uses a continuous spiral and is more flexible and durable. Wire-O is preferred for corporate notebooks; plastic coil for workbooks and planners.
Can spiral notebooks lay completely flat?
Yes, both wire-O and plastic coil bindings allow the notebook to lay perfectly flat on a desk and fold back 360 degrees — ideal for reference notebooks and workbooks.
Can I add tab dividers?
Yes, we offer printed tab dividers on heavier card stock to separate sections. Tabs can be customised with labels, colours, and designs to match your notebook theme.
What wire-O colours are available?
Wire-O is available in black, white, silver, gold, red, and blue. Custom colour matching is available for orders of 500+ units.
How many pages can a spiral notebook have?
Spiral notebooks can accommodate 20 to 300+ pages depending on the paper weight and coil size. We will recommend the appropriate coil diameter based on your page count.
