Aluminum Screw Posts

THE POSTS FOR SIZES 1/8" TO 3/8" HAVE A HOLE IN THE POST. Aluminum screw posts (AKA chicago screws) are used for binding photo albums, scrapbooks, samples, blueprints, leather products, store and trade show displays, and thousands of other items. They can hold hundreds of pages, yet can be assembled and disassembled using only your fingers.

No expensive binding machines to buy -- just a simple paper punch and you can get started. The size given in the table is the thickness of your material that the post will handle.
