What is Spiral Bound Printing?

We can print spiral and wire-o orders with 8 - 800 pages, which must be in 2-page increments.

You must leave extra space for the hole drilling on the binding side of your Spiral or Wire-O booklet. Set your binding-side margins to 7/8"

What are the most common uses for spiral bound?

Spiral-bound book printing is great for manuals, directories, annual reports, calendars, and many other types of products. Spiral binding can be up to 2 3⁄4" "thick.

When will I receive my spiral-bound book?

After proof approval, you will receive your spiral-bound book in 3 to 4 business days. You can request rush production and shipping to receive your book earlier.
