Mid-State Litho sells and services commercial coil and spiral binding machines for print shops, in-plants, and production binderies across Michigan and the Great Lakes. Coil threads a continuous plastic coil through punched holes so manuals, training guides, cookbooks, and catalogs lie flat and turn a full 360 degrees. We size Rhin-O-Tuff, Akiles CoilMac, and James Burn systems, then install and train operators.

How to choose a coil binding machine
Four decisions settle most quotes.
Volume. Desktop and occasional work fits APES/OD and entry CoilMac. Daily production fits HD7725 Ultima, System 3000, and higher CoilMac/JBI paths.
Pitch and diameter. Common coil pitches are 4:1 and 5:1. Match punch die, inserter, and coil stock.
All-in-one vs modular. Punch-and-insert in one station vs separate punch and inserter for multi-style floors.
Coil vs comb vs wire. Coil for durable flat-lay manuals. Comb for editable books. Wire for formal Wire-O finish.
