Bookbinding Printing Collection

Bookbinding Printing, Picked By Page Count

Bookbinding turns loose pages into a piece people pick up and keep, and the page count picks the format for you: 8 to 60 pages saddle stitched as a booklet or catalog, 40 to 300 pages as a perfect-bound or spiral coil book, 24 or 28 pages as a stapled calendar. The way you bind a catalog, a training manual or a photo book shapes how it looks and feels in the hand.

This collection pulls together the bound formats 4OVER4.COM prints, from Standard Booklets and Standard Catalogs to the Perfect Bound Book, the Spiral Coil Book, Standard Calendars, and even 3D Lenticular Notebooks. 4OVER4.COM has printed in its Queens plant since 1999.

Saddle Stitch, Perfect Bound, Spiral Or Wire-O

The right method depends on your page count and how the piece gets used. These are the styles this collection prints.

Saddle stitch staples the pages along the spine fold. It's the cost-effective choice for booklets, programs, and slim catalogs. Perfect binding glues the pages into a flat spine, the way a paperback works, and suits lookbooks, annual reports, and thicker catalogs.

Wire-o and spiral binding runs a coil through punched holes so the pages lay completely flat, and manuals, planners and reference guides stay open on a desk.

Agents, Restaurants, Churches And Trainers

A 40-page property portfolio at 8.5 by 11 inches fits the Perfect Bound Book, which starts at 10 copies. A seasonal menu that must lie open on the table suits the Spiral Coil Book at 6 by 9 or 8.5 by 11 inches.

Churches and community groups lean on saddle-stitched bulletins, programs, and annual reports that look sharp without straining a budget. An HR training manual that must lie flat during orientation fits the Spiral Coil Book, with its coil in black or white plastic.

Multiples Of Four, Spine Margins And Paper Weight

Plan your page count early. Saddle-stitched booklets run in multiples of 4, so a 22-page layout needs to lose 2 pages or gain 2 before you finalize it.

Mind the spine. Keep text and important images at least 0.5 inches from the binding edge on perfect-bound books, and give wire-o even more room because of the punch holes. Nobody should have to crack a spine to read a sentence.

Match the paper to the job. A 100lb gloss text carries photo-heavy catalogs well, while a 70lb uncoated text is easier on the eyes and lighter to carry for text-heavy manuals. Booklets, catalogs and bound books take a 14pt Gloss Cover over lighter inside pages, which stiffens the cover without the extra bulk.
