Our History
PLASTIKOIL^® originated as an alternative binding option for Gateway Bookbinding’s sister company — Gateway Publishing. Gateway Publishing, in the 1960’s, was producing fund-raising publications that were, at that time, being bound with comb binding. The company was looking for an alternative — something fresh, something new — in keeping with their progressive thinking. They came upon a very small, local manufacturer of this exciting, new continuous plastic spiral type of binding. Coil bound books could lay flat, could open a full 360 degrees, and looked great! Gateway made the change to plastic spiral and never looked back!

Gateway Bookbinding, taking the basic coil forming equipment and the plastic formulas originally used, have evolved this exciting plastic binding product into PLASTIKOIL® - a now internationally recognized binding system that has become one of the most popular mechanical binding choices for today's books and printed projects.

Gateway Publishing continues to utilize PLASTIKOIL® for all of their Community Safety Net publications – an innovative program with works with communities to teach them how to keep their children safe. visit their website at: www.communitysafetynet.com
