binding styles
SADDLE STITCHING
Saddle stitching is best for booklets, magazines, and programs with lower page counts. It is one of the most cost-effective binding methods and allows for fast production. From our Mueller Martini Saddle Stitcher to our Omega 2 High-Speed Stitcher and our Horizon Stitch and Folder SPF-200L, we've got the capacity and know-how to make your booklets look great!
PERFECT BINDING
Make catalogs, soft cover books and business publications, offering a clean, flat spine that can display branding and titles. Certain projects call for the hefty strength and clean look of perfect-bound publication so our Horizon BQ-270V machine is at your service to meet quick turnarounds.
COIL, WIRe and COMB BINDING
Make spiral-bound, wire-o or twin loop wire-bound reports, reference manuals & more. If you're looking to do booklets bound with coiled wire or plastic comb, you're in luck! Both punch and collation, we can handle it all. Bundle it together with other pieces and pair it with our mailing services to get your documents into the right hands.
Folding, Cutting & Trimming services
Make custom-printed materials to any size and shape specifications. Not every job fits on an 8-1/2" x 11" or tabloid-size sheet. And that's OK with our extensive scoring, folding, and cutting capabilities. Design with complete freedom knowing that whatever the specs, we can make your vision come to life exactly as you imagine it.
