Saddle Stitch Binding is the most popular, inexpensive and simple to make yet professional form of binding, which allows us to save you money. Is the ideal choice for booklets and
calendars with smaller page counts with less than 92 maximum pages. Does not have a flat or square spine. They will lay flat and stay open. Page counts have to be divisible by 4. (8, 12,
16, 20, 24 and so on) and require a minimum of 8 numbered pages (2 sheets folded in half).
Perfect binding is the most popular type of softcover book binding, inexpensive to make and provides a durable, high quality professional look that can’t be matched. It is the ideal
choice for books with higher page counts (28 pages up to 2 inches thick), such as photo books, yearbooks, catalogs, magazines, directories, manuals and more! The pages do not lay flat. You
can print on the spine.
Spiral bound book printing is great for manuals, directories, annual reports, cookbooks, calendars and many other types of products. Spiral binding is a plastic coil of that passes through
a row of punched holes at the edge of the printed piece. The binding can be on the left or top of the project depending on how the project is designed. You cannot print on the spine or add
or remove pages. Spiral binding can be up to 2 .“ thick and may cost a little more.
