Frequently Asked Questions

Wide strips handle documents up to 350 sheets of 20lb paper, or roughly 1.5 inches of total spine thickness, making this the largest capacity tier within the composition strip lineup compared to the narrower width options available. If your document falls close to that upper limit, measure the compressed stack thickness including front and back covers directly with a ruler rather than relying on sheet count alone, since paper weight and coating can significantly affect how much physical thickness a given sheet count actually produces once compressed and bound.

Composition strips are compatible with the Fastback 9, 11, 15xs, and 20 models, so they're not limited to a single machine within the broader Fastback lineup the way some specialty strip types are. Confirm your exact machine model before placing any order, since strip types are matched specifically to machine series based on heating element design and adhesive activation, and a strip built for one series generally isn't interchangeable with a different one even when both machines carry the same overall Fastback brand name and general appearance.

No, composition strips create a permanent bind rather than a reclosable one that can be reopened later. If you anticipate needing to add, remove, or update sheets after the initial binding, that specific need calls for a different strip type built for re-editing, since composition strips are intentionally designed to produce a finished, non-reversible result that resists tampering or accidental opening. Plan for this limitation upfront if your document content is still likely to change before you distribute the final bound copies to their intended recipients.

Matching isn't required for the strip to function correctly, but the six available colors were specifically selected to coordinate visually with standard vinyl cover stock, giving finished documents a cohesive, professional appearance. If presentation consistency matters for client-facing documents like proposals or annual reports, pairing a matching strip with a compatible Fastback cover produces a noticeably more polished finished look than mixing unrelated tones together. For internal working documents where visual presentation matters less, color coordination becomes a lower priority than confirming binding capacity and machine compatibility upfront. 5. Should I choose 8.5" or 11" length for my project? Length is determined entirely by your document's orientation and paper size, not by how many sheets the strip can bind. 11" strips are built for standard letter-size or A4 documents, while 8.5" strips suit half-letter or A5-format projects like small photobooks. If you're outfitting a shop or office that regularly produces both formats side by side, reviewing the Fastback strips range organized by length before ordering helps you avoid the frustration of reordering after discovering a length mismatch partway through a production run.
