Binding

We offer a huge range of binding options either in house or through trusted suppliers.

PUR binding

This is a high quality bind, which replaces a traditional perfect bound, by using a reactive glue, it means the binds are exceedingly strong, making it almost impossible for pages to fall out, as has been the case with traditional EVA based perfect bound books.

PUR gives a quality finish as a reasonable price, allowing brochures and catalogues a premium look.

Saddle stitching

This is a traditional stapled finishing which a great and simple cost effective way of finishing brochures, catalogues and magazines. 

Our horizon booklet maker is highly flexible allowing us to go from A4 landscape to A6 booklets in just minutes. We can stitch brochures up to 80 pages in house, and have a network of trusted suppliers for larger page counts, to give you great finish every time.

Wirobinding

We offer this in house allowing us to be competitive on price, this bind is perfect for diaries, calendars, note books and manuals.

The binds come in a variety of colours offering something different if required.

Case Binding

This is ideal for really special projects, these hard back style books give a sense of quality.
Case binding is perfect for coffee table projects or high end projects.

This traditional bind includes sewing each section into the book block and assembling in to the case with end papers.

Other binds

Many other binds exist such as open spine, singer sewn and various types of wiro binding such as half Canadian binds, if you have a particular enquiry please give us a call.
