Gateway Bookbinding Systems Ltd. has been manufacturing plastic spiral binding for over 50 years. Those years have yielded a tremendous amount of experience in the areas of plastic extrusion and the forming coil.
PLASTIKOIL® filament - For years, Gateway Bookbinding has endorsed the many advantages of working with an elliptical profile of plastic filament. For those customers manufacturing coil in-house, this elliptical PLASTIKOIL® filament - versus a round profile - results in much higher yields per pound of formed coil. The elliptical profile has also been proven to work better with automated coil insertion equipment. Gateway maintains a large inventory of spooled filament, with our extrusion department operating 24 hours a day so that we can provide our customers with quick and efficient turnaround.
