Types of Book Printing

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...

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.

Bound book printing may be used for a variety of purposes, such as self-publishing your own technology, entertainment, travel, and architecture books. Soft Cover Books are particularly useful for printing thick, higher page count books that cannot be saddle-stitched. PrintingCenterUSA produces high-quality perfect bound books with an expert, paperback appearance.

The result I got, was an excellent product due to great quality.
1 mon ago
Here's the thing: the product is great. 5 stars. But the SHIPPING is awful. PrintingCenterUSA ships exclusively through UPS, which has become utterly incompetent in the past few years and completely inaccessible through customer service. Their robotic phone line has no "operator" over-ride, you HAVE to talk to the computer first, they have routinely misdelivered packages, sent notifications that packages are available for pickup at non-resident locations when they have not even been taken off the truck yet, been unable to deliver a package to one of their OWN STORE locations, and they have no public phone numbers for their "Customer Centers." PrintingCenterUSA offers fantastic customer service and it is a wildly disorienting customer experience to go from their responsiveness and professionalism in designing and creating the product to the giant corporate indifference and contempt for the customer of their shipping partner UPS. I urge and beg you to find a new shipping partner. Never had any issues with USPS that I've had with the UPS.

The printing turned out GREAT!
1 mon ago
Every aspect of this print run typifies the high quality and attention to detail I've come to expect from PrintingCenterUSA. In particular, the satiny gloss of the book cover, the management of grayscale on the front cover, the text clarity on the back cover, the weight of the interior pages (which prevents see-through), the color fidelity, and the clarity of the print. This positive outcome owes much to the customer service provided by Joshua Shapiro.

The printing was clear and the colors were perfect. Unfortunately, whoever I spoke to on the phone gave me poor advice on the weight for the cover, which I wanted heavier than the inside pages. Although I believe I ordered it based on her recommendations, the cover was the exact same paper as the inside. Not the end of the world, but :(

Truthful review... Happy to leave a review here for the excellent product provided by Printing Center USA. Love using the seasonal coupons. Still, can be very reasonable prices without them. Timely delivery. I did not appreciate the phone call asking for a review, although I do understand that the reviews are important to your business. That is why I am happy to leave a 5 star review here. One more thing: After my files were already submitted I received an email prompting me that, in the future, one file for all pages is preferred. However, this is not something I have needed to do in any of my past projects. It is also not something that is made clear, at least that I can readily find, on the ordering or file preparation help page on the website (Please let me know if it is there so I may better understand the requirements). It might be best customer service to either make that explicitly clear for customers while they are starting the order process. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to matter to tell them to do it differently after the fact. Over all 5 stars every time for quality of product at competitive prices. Thank you.

I ordered my book. I received it in less than two weeks.of course we had July 4th in that time period and this year it was a Tuesday. This was my third book that I’ve done with Printing Center USA. If there is another one, it will go to them. The final product was better than I expected. Good Job PC USA

Had a 74 page softcover bound book made with them. I was worried about it being correct with as many pages as it had and I wanted a specialty cover. The proofing process was great, I felt very confident that what I would get would be correct and it was! The books look amazing! Very impressed with the process and the quality of the books especially for the price. Will use again.

My book Ellie and Jack: Third Grade Ghost Hunters was printed very well by Printing Center USA. The problems was there was a lack of communication where days and weeks would go by without receiving an email back from them. Plus, the digital book they created for me is not working and I am not receiving any responses back. I will change this review if they fix the problem, but this is going on a month now and maybe since I already paid them $1,000 I am no longer a priority?

My first soft bound book cane out beautifully. The colors and photos really pop and were perfect. I just wish UPS would stop dropping or banging my shipments from you (calendars too) because they dented beyond repair about 10 books.

Excellent printing quality. Nice, and also very fast, customer service. My only advice using this printing method for a book: 1. Double check to make sure you get your physical proof copy. For some reason, I didn't get one. That's okay considering this was a 'proof' printing, but I would have made some changes. 2. This is not a complaint, only caution for self-publishers: The dimensions offered were not exactly as I needed. I'm not sure why they don't allow a narrower size. The printed book ends up having the dimensions of a church hymnal, as I can't input a narrower width. In the past year or so, it seemed this company did offer a custom size for width. So just double check all your parameters first. 3. I actually really love the finished product and think I can work with this company to get more of the effect I'm after. Best feature is 'Printed in USA.' Many thanks!
