Bindery Options & Styles
Saddle-Stitched
Saddle stitch binding is the most popular, inexpensive and simple to make yet professional form of binding, which allows us to save you money. Page counts from 8 to 92 pages. They can lay flat and stay open when you are flipping through the pages, which makes it easier to read. Saddle-stitching is like the catalogs and magazines you get in the mail. It is two staples nested in the spine of the folded piece, securing the sheets together. It can go along the left edge or on top depending on how the project is planned out. Saddle stitching is great for booklets, calendars, photo-books and programs.

Spiral Bound
Spiral Binding books are like journals, notebooks or cook books that will lay flat or wrap back around themselves. Spiral bound printing is a coil of a plastic continuous loop passing through a row of punched holes at the edge of the printed piece in a spiral. The binding can be on the left or top of the project depending on how the project is designed. Spiral bound coils are available in different colors and sizes. You cannot print on the spine or add or remove pages. 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 ¾“ thick. They may cost a little more.

Wire-O Bound
Wire-O binding is similar to Spiral binding. Wire-O binding is great for Calendars, Directories, Annual Reports, and many other types of products. They will lay flat or wrap back around themselves. It is a metal coil 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. Wire-o bound books are a series of parallel wire loops attached along a wire. Wire-o binding can be 1 ¼“ thick. They may cost a little more.

Perfect Bound
Perfect binding is like the bookbinding you see on phone books and paperback books. Printed sheets are gathered into a book, one on top of the other and the edges are ground off and the book is glued into a wrap around cover and then trimmed to size. This type of perfect bind creates a square spine. They provide an attractive looking durable book. They do not lay flat. Perfect bound book printing is great for directories, magazines, manuals, year books or any type of booklet that has many pages. The minimum number 40 pages to 2” thick maximum. They may cost a little more than our popular saddle stitched option.

3 Hole Drilled
Three Hole Drill is a binding method where three holes are drilled along the left edge. We can use two sizes of drills: 1/4” and 5/16" diameter for the holes. This process works well with booklets or books of almost any page amount. This binding process is great for booklets that need to be combined with other pages and items inside a 3 ring binder. Perfect bound, saddle stitched, spiral, and wire-o books can all be three hole drilled to be stored in 3 ring binders. Copy margins should be at least 3/4” inside from the trim line on the bound edge. Available by custom quote only.
