3:1 or 2:1 pitch?
Differences and selection criteria.
A key feature of wire comb binding is the pitch, which defines the distance and number of holes per inch. The two most common pitches are 2:1 and 3:1, each of which has specific characteristics and areas of application.
The main difference between the two pitches is in the binding capacity and the optical effect. The 3:1 pitch offers a finer, more aesthetically pleasing bind for thinner binding thicknesses, while the 2:1 pitch was developed for thicker book thicknesses and ensures a more robust bind. Both the number of pages and the desired visual impression should therefore be taken into account when choosing the appropriate pitch.
To summarise, the choice between 2:1 and 3:1 for wire comb binding depends on the binding thickness of the document and the aesthetic requirements. With a paper weight of 70/80 g/m², up to a maximum of 135 sheets can be bound with the 3:1 pitch and up to 340 sheets with the 2:1 pitch.
Both pitches offer the advantages of wire comb binding, including the possibility of complete 360° page turns and the flat position of the pages without any offset on the table.

RENZ wire comb binding machines are the perfect solution for efficient punching and professional binding of your documents.
Our manual and electric machines offer the highest precision and are optimised for processing wire binding combs in 3:1 or 2:1 pitches. RENZ wire binding systems ensure stable and secure bindings that are particularly suitable for loose-leaf collections such as brochures, catalogues, instruction manuals, presentations, photo calendars and much more.The choice of the right punching and binding solution depends on various factors such as run length, paper format and required binding capacity. RENZ offers a wide range of wire comb binding machines that can reliably process both small and large print runs, depending on requirements.
Depending on the binding machine, the 3:1 pitch with 34 rings for DIN A4 binding thicknesses up to 13.5 mm and the 2:1 pitch with 23 rings for DIN A4 block thicknesses up to 34 mm can be optimally bound.
RENZ RING WIRE wire comb bindings enable a perfectly round, dimensionally stable and durable binding of your documents that is both aesthetically pleasing and robust and secure. Another clear advantage of this type of binding is that the pages can be easily turned through 360° and lie flat on the table without any misalignment.
For the individual design of your bindings, we offer wire binding combs in various colours and diameters for DIN A4 and DIN A5 formats. Whether you prefer a discreet, classic binding or an eye-catching, modern look - at RENZ you will find the right solution to present your documents elegantly. Wire comb binding, also known as security binding, also guarantees a high level of protection against forgery. To add or change pages, the binding must be destroyed, which is particularly advantageous for confidential or important documents.

Our machines are suitable for both short runs and large production quantities and can be used in offices, schools, copy shops, workshops or at home.
