Metal Binding Screws: Sturdiness and elegance for your collections
When it comes to displaying samples or binding heavy documents, metal is an unbeatable material. Our metal Binding Screws (Chicago screws) not only give your products a premium feel, but also guarantee exceptional durability. As we handle production in-house, we can respond flexibly to your requirements and offer solutions tailored precisely to your material thickness.
Customised materials and finishes
The appearance of the binding must complement the product. That is why we stock the most common finishes as standard in our range:
- Brass-plated Binding Screws: Ideal for a classic, golden sheen – particularly popular for high-quality leather goods or historical documentation.
- Nickel-plated Binding Screws: The silver-coloured finish is the modern all-rounder for office, marketing and industrial applications. It is high-gloss, robust and corrosion-resistant.
- Custom-made products: Thanks to our in-house production, we manufacture customised brass shank lengths, which we can also coat in your chosen colour on request.
Flexibly screwed or securely pressed in
Our metal book screws are designed for versatility. All shafts feature a precise M4 standard thread. You have a choice of fastenings:
- The classic screw head: Allows the binding to be easily opened and closed by hand or with a screwdriver – perfect for updatable price lists or sample folders.
- The press-fit head: Transforms the Binding Screw into a permanent connection. Once fixed with a hammer or press, the contents remain permanently protected and tamper-proof.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
From what quantity are custom lengths available?
As we manufacture in-house, we can produce custom lengths even in economically viable quantities. Please feel free to contact us for a bespoke quote tailored to your project volume.
What diameter should the hole in the material be?
Our metal Binding Screws have a shaft diameter of approx. 5 mm. A standard hole diameter of 5.5 mm is therefore ideal, ensuring the shaft slides through easily yet sits securely.
Are the nickel-plated screws rust-proof?
The nickel plating offers very good protection against corrosion and humidity in normal indoor environments. For long-term use in extremely humid environments, we would be happy to advise you on special material alternatives.
