coil binding

Looped wire spine

Coil binding is a method of binding pages using a plastic or metal spiral that threads through holes punched along the edge.

The coils allow pages to lie flat when open and rotate 360 degrees, making it popular for notebooks, manuals, and cookbooks: The recipe book's coil binding let her prop it open on the counter.
