A professional presentation requires professional binding and finishing.
A beautiful print job loses all its impact if the binding is outmoded or amateurish. Our expert print shop finishing department can give your piece a prestigious, professional look using methods only available through a full service printer.
a range of bindery and finishing methods and materials
In an era where speed, ease of production and digitization has made in-house and amateur printing more acceptable, it is hard to avoid a certain “generic” look with printed products. More and more, the choices made in the finishing stages of the job are what will set you apart from the crowd. Some examples of prestigious finishing options are special varnish effects, foil stamping, embossing, raised printing, die-cutting and specialty folding and gluing effects. Finishing options that enhance the functionality of printed pieces include such processes as scoring, perforating and numbering.
Some binding options are purely functional, like the side-stitching (side-stapling) commonly used for booking receipts, tickets, etc. and corner stapling of multi-page documents for informational purposes. Saddle stitching (staples in the spine, like a magazine) Wire-O and plastic coil binding are functional and more presentable. Hidden coil and perfect binding are very presentable, while case-binding (hard cover) with cloth or leather is the most prestigious means of binding.
