Online document printing is fast, easy, and inexpensive. That means that the business owner can meet their document printing needs efficiently without the hassles of visiting the printers. Not only can you get the same printing services online as you do in the store, you can get the same finishing touches as well. From glossy covers to binding, online document printing does it all.
Binding is one of the most important part of the whole document printing and preparation process. Without appropriate binding your reports would be secured with paperclips, staples, or dog ears…not very professional or efficient or tidy. There are several different types of document binding available, and here are some of the most popular: spiral, saddle stitch, ring, and perfect binding.
The Spiral Bind
Spiral binding is most often used in printing cookbooks, intra-business directories, calendars, flash cards, day planners, and address books. Spiral binding consists of punching holes on the side of a stack of documents, inserting wire or plastic spiral binding and pinching the ends closed to secure. Spiral binding is the most affordable form of binding so it is often used by self-publishers. Spiral binding can come in many different colors and materials.
The Saddle Stitch
Many magazines, comic books, and hard backed books are actually sewn together using saddle stitching. During the saddle stitching process, the pages of the document are sewn into place along a centerfold using high tensile threads.
Rings of Power
Binding using ring binders is another popular form of document binding. Many students are familiar with hole punching and aligning the little holes with the rings in their 3 to 4 ring binders. Online document printing companies provide the ring binders for this type of binding, and you can choose the size and color of the binder.
Perfect Every Time
Perfect binding is most often seen on paperback books. Perfect binding uses hot glue to adhere the documents to a cover made from slightly more durable paper. The glue side of the papers is left rough in order to adhere better to the cover. The remaining 3 sides are face trimmed to allow the book or magazine to be opened. This form of binding is one of the more expensive types because of the cost of glue, and the skill and equipment needed to bind the documents properly.
When it comes to choosing the right binding for your business document, you can’t go wrong by asking an online document printing company.
