Material Used
We offer tape, velcro, coil, and spiral binding for your reports, manuals and theses. We can trim, fold, stitch, add tabs and inserts using GBC wires, tapes, coverbinds, velobindings, screw posts and Acco fasteners, velcro, grommets, easels, seam, matching customized cut-outs/rounded corners.
Types of Bindings
Hard binding
Full cloth case binding with gilt lettering and lines on the spine.
Quarter binding
Sewn binding with hard covers and a lettered cloth spine.
Limp binding
Glued binding with card covers.
Limp binding (sewn)
Sewn binding with card covers and spine strip.
Wire binding
A metal spiral binding (white) with a card or clear plastic sheet for the front and back cover.
Saddle Stitching
Binds stapled sheets together where they fold at the spine. For magazine size, we can bind 8 signatures (16pg) in one pass, giving you a 128pg self cover publication. With a separate cover, we can bind 7 text signatures plus the cover.
Plastic Coil Binding
A binding technique where a coil of plastic is inserted into holes along the spine of any given document or group of documents. Different colors and sizes are available upon request. Standard coil color is black.
Tape Binding
A paper tape bind is adhered to the spine of a stack of paper with heat and pressure. A maximum of 325 sheets may be bound.
Glue Binding
Web printing can both fold and glue bind online.
Perfect Binding
To bind sheets that have been ground at the spine and are held to the cover by glue. Perfect binding creates the common paper back book. Signatures are gathered, one on top of another; then flexible adhesive is applied to the backbone after the folds along the spine are trimmed off. After the glue cools, the book is trimmed to its specific size. Variations include notch and lay-flat bindings.This is the most common type of binding for trade, scholarly, business, professional, religious, reference, and text books as well as catalogs and manuals.
Mechanical Fastenings
We offer GBC, Plasticoil, Wire-O and others
Saddle Stitched
A booklet binding method which inserts one folded signature into another, then fastens the signatures with wires through the center fold of the gathered signatures. It may be a self covered publication (same paper stock as text) or with a separate cover. Less expensive then adhesive binding.
Smythe Sewn
After the signatures are folded they get secured by linked stitching on the back of the fold and up through the center fold of each signature, allowing the book to open flat -- this has been the ultimate solution for longevity and durability for fastening pages in a book. Used for upscale editions of trade, scholarly, business, professional, religious, reference and text books.
Center Sewn
This is similar to Smythe sewing except that the signatures are collated inside one another and are sewn at once through the center, making this binding strong and lay-flat but more economical than smythe sewing. Best for books of 96 pages or less. Reinforced tape is often applied along the spine for greater strength and durability. Used for juvenile books, composition or record books, bank books and specialty books.
Side Sewn
Here the signatures are gathered, one on top of another, and then sewn from the side; this is actually a stronger process than center sewing. It is used mostly for various library editions of juvenile books.
Folding Services
We accommodate many types of folds. Our standard folds are less expensive and allow for quicker turn around times for your project. Non-standard folds are also available.
Standard Folds
Double Parallel Fold
Two folds with each fold parallel to each other.
Half Fold
A fold at the mid point of the page, either portrait or landscape.
Letter Fold (aka C-Fold)
This folds a sheet into thirds, with the two end segments folded on top of one another.
Non-Standard Folds
Quarter Fold, Two right angle folds (extra fee for non-standard folds)
Accordion Fold
A fold that folds a page into thirds in the shape of a Z (also know as a Z-fold).
Scoring
To compress paper along a straight line so it folds more easily and accurately.
How to Order
Before submitting work for binding, please make sure that the material is in good order and that pages are bound strictly in the order in which they are delivered. Only 81/2" X 11" size pages are accepted; we cannot undertake to trim non-standard size paper.
Turn Around
Even more important, remember to leave enough time for the binding to be done. Normally work will be completed within 48 hours. At particularly busy periods however, and during staff holidays and absences it may take longer. Always check how long binding is likely to take at or before the time you deposit your work.
For a fee, we can do emergency binds. The regular binding rate applies to work completed after 48 hours.
You will be asked to pay for your binding when you place your order by cash or interac. Please specify on the order form whether you will be collecting it yourself or, if not, who will be or if you need to have it send to you by courier for a fee. The collector will be asked for identification.
