Now that your project is printed,
how will you finish it?
-
Cutting
Cutting and trimming is an important part of the book binding process because it allows for precise and consistent cutting of materials. The machine can quickly and efficiently cut large stacks of paper, cardboard, or other materials to a uniform size and shape, ensuring that all pages or components of a book are consistent and aligned properly.
-
Collating
Collating is used to gather and arrange sheets of paper or other materials in the correct order for binding. It can quickly and accurately assemble multiple pages or components of a book, ensuring that they are in sequence and aligned properly. This helps to establish the final product is easy to read and use.
-
Perforating & Scoring
Perforating and scoring are used to create creases or perforations in paper, cardstock, or other materials. This can be used to create fold lines or perforations that allow for easy tearing or separation of pages or sections. It is also used to score the material to create precise creases that make folding easier and more accurate.

Corner Stitching
Corner stitching is a book binding technique in which a staple or stitch is placed in the corner of the book. This technique is often used for smaller booklets or pamphlets, and it can help to keep the pages together and prevent them from falling apart
-
Saddle Stitching
Saddle stitching is used to bind catalogs, magazines and more. The printed materials are held together with two or three pieces of wire stitching. This is a durable and cost-effective method, and accommodates a wide range of sizes and formats.
-
Drilling & Punching
Paper drilling puts round holes in large quantities of paper. We can provide 1- to 5-hole drilling in paper material that is already stitched or bound or in stacks of loose leaves. Some stock is better to punch than drill, such as plastic and vinyl.
-
Spiral & Coil Binding
If you need an economical way to bind documents that lay flat, mechanical binding is an excellent choice. We offer Wire-O and Plastic Coil binding in a variety of colors that can complement a document’s cover or enhance black and white printed material.
-
Wire-O Binding
Wire-O binding is a method that uses a series of double-looped metal wires. The wire loops are inserted and crimped together to secure the pages. This method is known for its durability and professional appearance, and it is often used for manuals, reports, and other types of documents that need to be opened and closed frequently. Wire-O binding is also available in a variety of colors and sizes to meet specific design needs.
-
Easel
Easel’s offer a unique type of book binding method in which a book is bound with a wire or coil at the top and then supported by an easel or stand for easy display. This binding method is often used for presentations, calendars, or other materials that need to be displayed and viewed frequently. The pages can be easily turned, and the easel stand keeps the book upright and visible. Easel binding is a versatile and functional binding method that can be customized to meet specific design and functional requirements.

Laminating
Laminating helps keep your printed materials looking pristine for years to come. The material has a glossy finish, which adds to its superior look. Lamination is an excellent choice for paper materials that will be displayed or repeatedly handled.

U.V. Coating
