Binding Methods
Perfect Binding
(20-150 Pages)
Perfect Binding is a method of bookbinding where a flexible glue attaches a cover to the spine of assembled pages, giving the book a clean professional finish. An advantage of this method is being able to print information on the spine. This option is the perfect type of binding for large publications such as, annual reports, school year books and magazines.
Saddle Stitched
(8-80 Pages)
Books are saddle stitched by folding sheets of paper in half, one inside the other and stapling along the fold line (spine) to form a booklet. Commonly two staples are used, but larger books may require more. This is an economical option for publications with few pages, for example short run magazines, children’s books and catalogues.
Wire Binding
(10 - 140 Pages)
For this binding method, a series of holes are punched along the spine and then a formed wire is threaded through the holes to hold the pages together. Wire loops are available in black, white and red. Wire bound booklets will open easily and lie flat on a desk or table making them a popular choice for diaries, technical manuals, cookbooks and calendars.
Plastic Binding
(10 - 450 Pages)
A method where a series of rectangular holes are punched along the spine edge. A plastic comb is then threaded through the holes to hold the pages together. A functional method with the option to add more pages by reopening and closing the flexible plastic comb. This method generally includes a clear cover and card back. Plastic combs are available in black, white and speciality colours on request. A practical binding option for reports, manuals, assessments or documents that you need bound fast and cost effectively.
