Plastic Comb Binding Machine Comb Sizes
Here is a handy list to know the right comb size when you want to bind a
stack of paper with a comb binding machine. I found it pretty hard to find
exact numbers; these do work quite well. Please note, sizes are in mm, the number
of sheets is a maximal value (you can use less sheets with a bigger spiral,
though it my prove troublesome handling the document; using too many sheets will
cause trouble when turning the pages), and often
the "combs" are also called rings or spirals.
