How are Manuals Used?
Manuals are a small handbook of instructions used by employees, services, sales, and training supervisors to teach, troubleshoot, follow procedures, set standards, repair breakdowns, give us reference information, help fix products and learn how things are done.
Sell your manuals online, provide them to your employees, include them with relevant products, or utilize them for training. The opportunities are endless with manuals.

What is the difference between a manual and a handbook?
Manuals are a comprehensive collection of procedures and processes generally used for training employees. Handbooks are similarly used for training purposes, however, they tend to focus on a more specific subject.
Saddle stitch binding is the most inexpensive and simple to make, yet professional form of binding, which allows us to save you money. They also offer the fastest turn-around time. Saddle stitched is the most popular and ideal choice for self-cover booklets and calendars with smaller page counts between 8 and 92 pages. 
Perfect bound binding is the most popular type of soft cover binding. Perfect bound books are inexpensive to make and provide a durable, high quality attractive look that can’t be matched. Perfect binding is the ideal choice for publications with higher page counts (28 pages up to 2 inches thick), giving them a professional looking printable square spine. A paperback book or a phone book is a familiar example. 
Hard Cover books are case bound with your choice of covers. Our basic cover is printed in full-color, laminated and glued to a heavy, warp-resistant book board.
Spiral binding uses a durable plastic coil which makes it an ideal option for every-day use as reference material. Spiral Bound Book Printing offers different coil sizes and diameters to accommodate a higher page count up to 2 3/4" thick. There is a fast turn-around time for very short spiral bound book production quantities. Manuals, Handbooks, and Guides are good examples of products well-suited for spiral binding. Available only in black coil. 
Wire-O binding is similar to Spiral binding. Wire-O binding uses a professional-looking looped metal wire which makes it an ideal option when the product is for a more formal setting, such as a presentation. Wire-O binding can accommodate a higher page count up to 1 ¼" thick. They may cost a little more. Available only in black standard wire.
