More about binding options for your Custom Booklet
Saddle stitched Booklets
A common and economical method of booklet binding is to have them saddle stitch bound. Dave prints your pages, folds them in half, then gathers the sheets together and staples them in the spine of the fold. Each sheet printed represents 4 reading pages so saddle stitched booklets must come in page counts divisible by 4 (8-pager, 12-pager, 16-pager, and so on). Once your custom booklet is printed and saddle stitched, your booklets can be picked up, shipped, or delivered locally.
Coil binding and Wire binding
Plastic coil binding and Wire binding, are binding options that allow the finished booklet to be easily opened in a way that it lies flat. Both wire and coil binding options are cost effective and provide a clean professional look. A roll of holes are punched through your booklet on the binding edge. Then, either a color plastic spiral coil or a wire binding is then inserted through the holes to hold the printed sheets together. Custom printed covers and/or Clear plastic covers can be added to protect your document and showcase the quality of your booklet. Once printed and bound, your booklets are ready to go!
Perfect Bound Booklets
Perfect Binding or softcover books are formed when book pages are glued together at the spine. The cover is usually made from a thicker cardstock and coated to protect the book. The name “perfect” binding comes from the cut of the pages. All pages, including the cover, are printed oversized and then cut to be the same finished size and therefore line-up “perfectly”. Perfect bound books have a wide variety of purposes and we have seen them used for catalogs, magazines, portfolios, graphic novels, workbooks, and more. Perfect bound books can include between 36 pages and up to 92 pages!
