Types of Bound Books

Saddle Stitched Book Printing

Saddle stitch is basically single sheets of paper, printed on both sides, collated in page number order, folded in half, then stapled through the fold with staples made of thin wire securing the sheets together and then trim the 3 sides to the desired finished size...

Paper ThicknessLearn More

Gloss paper has a shiny and lustrous smooth coated gloss finish. Excellent for making full color printing appear more vibrant.

Matte paper is a dull coated sheet that exhibits low gloss finish. Paper has minimal glare, making it easier to read text.

Uncoated paper is easy to write on and should be used in projects such as a workbook or coloring book.

Perfect Bound Book Printing

Perfect binding booklet printing is single sheets (text weight) paper printed on both sides and collated in page number order, one on top of the other, and gathered into a book block. The spine edge is ground off. The softcover (a thicker cardstock) is placed over and around the book block (interior pages) and attached by the application of a strong yet flexible PUR glue along the binding edge, creating a professional looking square spine that can be printed on.

Sprial Bound Book Printing

Spiral Bound Book printing Spiral Binding is more durable than wire-o binding but does not have the professional look of a wire-o bound book. A spiral bound book uses a durable plastic coil which makes it an ideal option for spiral book binding that needs to lie flat and can fold or wrap back around themselves (360 degree) and are continually being referred to. The plastic coil allows for frequent use that does not damage the book binding coil. Spiral bound book printing is great for instruction and repair manuals, cookbooks, directories, handbooks, guides, and other reference materials. Spiral binding is excellent for wall calendars and planners can hang flat against the wall.

Wire-O Bound Book Printing

Wire-O binding is for a more formal use and offers a more professional look than a spiral bound book. A wire-o bound book uses a metal wire. Unlike a perfect bound or saddle-stitched book, the open wire-o bound book will lie flat (180 degrees) for easy reference or they can fold or wrap back around themselves (360 degree) making it easier to handle and lays flat for easy reading while taking up minimal room on a desk or table.

Wire-o binding is an excellent style of binding commonly used for businesses to create professional-looking lay flat documents such as business reports, documents, calendars and other book types. Wire-o binding calendars are one of our most popular products. The pages flip easily and hang flat against the wall. Wall calendars are great for non-profit fundraising programs, promoting business and photography.

I've been ordering dance recital programs from this company for many years.

I own a dance studio and have always printed a multipage, full color program for my annual recital. About 8 years ago my local printing company changed hands. The new local company was not really local. They were a satellite operation for a larger company. The price for me to create my programs became too much for me to afford. I heard about Print Center USA on a forum for dance studio owners. Not only is their pricing extremely reasonable, but they offer templates to help creators build projects and friendly assistance whenever needed. Turnaround time for receiving completed projects is extremely fast. Quality is excellent. This company gets 5 stars from me on every level.

Quality of the paper is excellent; delivery was faster than expected! The #1 reason to use PrintingCenterUSA is the customer service. My nonprofit dance company has produced several programs and a calendar with them and every time has been a good experience. We receive prompt replies from emails, a live person picking up the phone, and careful attention to our needs. Highly recommend!

The programs turned out beautifully and the online design tool was easy to use. I will definitely use PrintingCenterUSA for next year's program. My only criticism is that, when you use the online design tool, there's no way to upload the file for proofing and printing. Instead, the tech guys need to pull the file from your account. It would have been helpful to know that in advance.

We were new to the entire process of designing our own Dance Recital Program... After a bit of a struggle navigating the design program we were able to create a first class program for our dancers. The support staff was very helpful with questions as well as making sure we had our program in hand by our due date. We will definitely create all future programs here! Thank you!

Okay, so there is something about their website that made me feel like it was maybe a scam? I think it's the logo that made me feel like that for some reason...in addition to their prices being unbeatable! Always a little wary of a reallly good deal. lol. However, I gave them a call and the woman on the phone was lovely so I went ahead and placed the order for our program books for our film festival. They arrived in ample time, nicely packaged in manageable chunks (which I've seen other companies charge for) and the print job is beautiful! I will be using them for everything in the future!

Wonderful experience. Fast printing and shipping with quality product. Thank you so much!

I felt like the shipping was misleading. What was said to be 3 day shipping, which I know was from the time the proof was approved, ended up going to be almost 2 weeks. I ended up having to pay an additional $36 in shipping and the product still didn’t make it in an enough time to have at our banquet. Thank you EMILY for making this right!! I appreciate you handling the issue appropriately. I can see the company has great values. Thank you so much.

Quality, service and such was incredible. I was a tad concerned when the proof email said everything was low res, though in PDF form, but because of our tight time line had no choice but to let it go to print. Myself and many others have the belief if what we got was with low res, high res would be outrageous in clarity and quality. Thank you for making my first conference's programs beautiful.
