Binding Screws with press-fit heads: Permanent fastening for professional systems
Binding Screws with press-fit heads are used wherever a simple screw connection is insufficient or where accidental loosening needs to be prevented. Unlike conventional Chicago screws, the head of this binding screw is pressed firmly into the substrate (such as cardboard or plastic). This guarantees a clean, flush finish and ensures that the mechanism remains securely in place even under frequent use.
Applications and technical advantages
These specialised metal fasteners are indispensable for a wide range of high-quality organisation systems:
- Presentation folders & catalogues: For a durable binding that securely holds together even heavy product samples.
- Sample books & colour charts: The press-fit head provides a firm base, ensuring that the fanned-out samples can be guided precisely.
- Security & protection: The firm anchoring in the material makes it difficult to unscrew from the outside, protecting the integrity of your documents.
- Customised look: Choose between nickel-plated (silver-coloured) or brass-plated (gold-coloured) finishes to perfectly match the screws to your design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the main advantage of a press-fit head over a screw head?
The press-fit head anchors itself firmly in the material. This prevents the Binding Screws from turning when the counter-screw is tightened or loosened, ensuring a tamper-proof, permanent hold for the binding.
What tools do I need for installation?
To press the head in professionally, we recommend a suitable Hand Press or a suitable driving tool. This ensures the head is fixed flush and without damaging the material.
Are the Binding Screws rust-proof?
Our Binding Screws are made of high-quality metal with finished surfaces (nickel-plated or brass-plated), which offers excellent protection for use indoors and in normal office environments.
