Binding methods

Saddle stitching

Saddle Stitching is accomplished using a stapler or a high-speed binding machine that inserts and bends thin wire through the spine of a document. This wire leaves the document looking like it has been stapled. The maximum number of sheets that can be saddle stitched is 32.

Perfect binding

Providing an unprinted area on the inside cover of a perfect bound book gives an area for the glue to adhere to and allows it to wrap around some of the inside pages.

Mechanical binding

Mechanical binding allows pages to be flat, so it is often used for technical manuals, notebooks, and calendars.

Looseleaf Binding

Looseleaf bindings are ideal for documents that undergo frequent updates because pages can be inserted and removed easily.
