What are binding posts used for?

They bind loose sheets into a book-like piece, such as menu covers, swatch books, sample cards and scrapbooks. The screw post passes through punched holes and a mating screw caps it.

How thick a stack can these hold?

The post is about 0.31 inches tall, so it suits thin stacks of card, paper or leather. Thicker books need longer posts.

Are they strong enough for heavy use?

Zinc alloy is softer than steel or brass. They hold light covers fine, but heavy or frequently handled bindings are better served by metal posts made of stronger material.

Do they come apart for rebinding?

Yes. The screw-together design lets you unscrew the post, add or remove pages, and close it again.

What size holes do I need?

Punch holes that match the post diameter so the screw seats snugly. Check the post diameter against your punch before starting a project.

Our take on the BEADCEST Binding Post Golden Zinc Alloy

BEADCEST binding posts are small gold-tone zinc alloy screw posts used to bind menu covers, swatch books, sample cards and DIY craft pieces. Each post is roughly 0.37 by 0.37 by 0.31 inches, so they suit thin stacks of paper, card or leather rather than thick books. The screw-together design lets you open and re-close a bound piece instead of using rivets or glue. They are a decorative hardware part, not a load-bearing fastener, and are best judged against plain steel or brass binding posts on finish and material rather than strength.
