Finishing Touches for Printed Material

Summary: Learn the options available for binding your printed documents.

We can staple it, fold it, punch it, collate it, laminate it, and even put it in a hardcover binding for you. Copying or printing your documents or images is only the beginning. Assembly of the finished piece can make a world of difference. Whether you have us only print your order and you finish it yourself, or you have us do it all for you, we can help you to create your finished product.

Binding Options:

Plastic Comb Bind: Traditional 19-ring plastic comb binding is strong, durable and allows for updating of document pages as needed. VeloBind®: The standard for professional documents. Bind up to three inches of paper with this durable binding method that is secured by fusing two plastic strips together. Plastic Coil Bind: Allows documents to lay flat and can be used for documents up to an inch thick. Your pages conveniently wrap all the way around the spine. Tape Bind: High-Quality Tape is secured by heating of a thermoplastic adhesive for a durable bind. Lamination: Seal it in plastic, permanently and inexpensively. We can seal anything that is written, typed, printed, photographed or drawn in plastic.
