Binding Screws with Screw Heads: Secure Binding, Flexible Use
Wherever content is regularly updated, expanded or rearranged, the binding screw with screw head (also known as a Chicago screw) is the ideal fastener. Unlike fixed bindings, this system allows the connection to be opened and closed without damage. This makes it an indispensable aid for the catering, marketing and industrial sectors when it comes to professional yet versatile document management.
Easy handling and assembly
The system consists of two perfectly matched parts: a threaded shaft and a matching screw head.
- Quick assembly: The heads are slotted and can be secured using a standard screwdriver or often even by hand.
- Versatile materials: Whether paper, heavy cardboard, fabric samples or plastics – the screw connection reliably holds a wide variety of layers together.
- Adjustable at any time: Do pages in a menu need swapping or colour samples added? Simply unscrew, insert the material and screw back in.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I find the right shaft length for my folder?
Measure the total thickness of your punched stack when compressed. The shaft length of the Binding Screw should match this thickness or be slightly (approx. 0.5 mm) shorter to ensure the binding is secure and does not wobble.
Are the screws suitable for contact with food?
Our plastic Binding Screws are tried and tested for use in menus and are safe to handle. They are easy to maintain and durable.
Are the screws also available with through-holes for ball chains?
Yes, our range also includes special variants that can be ideally combined with ball chains – particularly practical for sample fans and price tags.
