Binding & finishing
The binding is not an afterthought. It decides how your piece gets used. These are the touches that put the perfect finish on your project, matched to your budget.
The right spine for the job
For a published book, hard-cover or a perfect bound soft cover is ideal. But workbooks, journals, and printed manuals that need to be written in want spiral or Wire-O binding, so pages lie flat on a desk while you take notes. An easel-backed book or desk calendar? Wire-O lets the pages flip without shifting. This is an area our team excels in. We'll help you make the right choice, at any run size.
- Perfect bound (paperback / soft-cover)
- Case bound (hard-cover)
- Saddle stitch binding
- Plastic coil binding
- Wire-O binding
Binding options for large and short run projects, expert guidance on your options, scalable solutions, and top notch quality, the same standard as everything on our presses, including magazines and brochures.

Give your project the right finish
Not sure whether your page count wants saddle stitch or perfect binding? Ask. Our team will review your project and follow up with next steps, honest recommendations, and a job bound to the proof you approve. If the finished work doesn't match it because of our error, we reprint it or refund it.
