Perfect Binding
Perfect Binding is a widely popular soft-cover book binding method because of its professional appearance. Perfect binding is commonly used for books, annual and corporate reports, manuals, catalogs and thicker product brochures.
The primary benefits of Perfect Bound books are that they have a very high visual appeal and professional appearance.
They’re economical to produce, can accommodate hundreds of pages up to one and a half inches thick, and they stack and display extremely well. Also, in most cases, the square spinal edge formed by the perfect binding method allows for the book’s title or other information to be printed on the spine.
Add UV coating to the cover for a high gloss.
Tape Binding
An alternative to the traditional wrap around cover of perfect binding is Tape Binding. Tape Binding is an affordable way to perfect bind books using book tape on the spine when the books covers are the same size as the text pages. These books do not use the traditional wrap-around covers, and don’t allow for printing on the spine but are still perfect-bound.
Coil Binding
Coil binding, also known as spiral binding, is a commonly used book binding style and can be used across multiple document types.

Saddle Stitch Binding
Saddle Stitch Binding, sometimes called booklet making, is a great finishing option for your documents. In addition, Saddle-Stitched binding is among the easiest and most common methods to finish booklets. The Saddle Stitch method is most effective for binding booklets and publications with 64 pages or less. Books and other documents that are commonly Saddle Stitched include programs, wall calendars, booklets, newsletters, pamphlets, direct mailers, comic books, thinner magazines and catalogs.
Why is it called Saddle Stitching? Well, actually, we’re just stapling sheets of paper together but in the printing industry we call that Stitching. However, to staple or stitch the sheets together, we collate the sheets over a Saddle-like device during the stapling/stitching process, hence the name Saddle Stitching.
Staple Binding
Keep it clean, simple and cost effective with stapled binding. Quality stapling is a strong and cost-efficient solution for large quantities of documents such as reports, newsletters, or handouts that don’t need full-spine binding. Documents are typically stapled in the upper left corner or two or three times along the left edge of the document.

Hard Cover Book Binding
The covers on our hard cover books are made with binder’s board that is covered with either a printed cover wrap, cloth, faux (imitation) leather material, or a dust jacket.
With this binding method, the text pages are glued together at the spine to create a “text block.” End leaves that hold the text block to the inside of the cover casing are applied to the binding edge of the text block. The cover is created separately and then glued to the end leaves and text block, creating a book that will last for years. Great for trade books, recipe books, photo books, business books, coffee table books, and many other types.
