Wire-O Binding

Looking for a more sophisticated version of the standard coil bind? Wire-O Binding, also known as Twin Loop, Double Loop, Double-O, Duo-Wire or simply Wire Binding is a popular method for professional publications. This method uses pre-formed pairs of wire loops that run along a C-shaped unit and are clamped closed until they form a perfect circle, thus securing the cover and pages. Wire-O binding produces a very impressive final document that can accommodate pages and inserts of varying thicknesses, including dividers or index tabs.

Chicago Screw Binding

Using a single screw to anchor a collection of sheets rather than glue or staples creates a substantial and durable package. The chicago screw binding method can be used on hard or soft cover materials and is ideal for binding together sample books, architectural and engineering drawings, menus, photo albums, swatch books, leather goods, and other materials. A variety of sizes and colours are available to ensure the binding matches your brand.

Pad Binding

If you’ve used a tear-off notepad, you’re familiar with pad binding, a common and recognizable binding method. Blank or lined pages are piled on a cardboard backing, painted with glue, and clamped down, creating a pad with easily-removed pages. Notepads are an excellent marketing tool when distributed to clients for their daily use.

Belly Band Binding

Decorative, yet economic. Belly band binding (sometimes called a “sleeve”) holds multiple sheets together, keeps books shut, and can wrap other products and packaging. It’s typically used in initial product presentations and distributions to keep the material safely together while displaying your company’s brand.

Tab Binding

Tab binding can be used in addition to coil bound or wire-o bound documents, providing an easy way to organize and jump between sections of a large document without the use of a table of contents or having to flip through to find information.

Collating

When the printing process is complete, collating is the gathering and arranging of individual sheets or components into the correct sequence. This is when booklet pages are put in order prior to binding or to create consistent, logical sheet sets for presentation folders or other distributions. Our operators utilize a collating machine to ensure all components are collated correctly, every time.

Your printed business essentials can beautifully and usefully represent your brand, no matter where they’re found! From your office straight into the hands of your customers and potential clients, these oft-overlooked elements not only communicate your products and services, but can play a large role in establishing top of mind awareness.
