# Which binding works best for workbooks and booklets?

Workbooks and booklets can be bound several ways, and the best fit depends on how the finished piece needs to open and how many pages it holds. Coil binding is a popular pick when a book has to lay completely flat. Coil (spiral) binding: lets pages open a full 360 degrees and lay flat, ideal for workbooks people write in. Saddle stitch: folded and stapled, best for thinner booklets. Perfect binding: a glued, squared spine for higher page counts and a polished look. Match the binding to how the workbook will be used, then set your preference when you order.
