Bindery Options

Self-Cover
Simply means that the covers are printed on the same paper stock as the inside pages, and this is the most economical version.
Separate Covers
Are available in a wide selection of finishes, colors & weights.
Glue Binding
Is the most economical way to introduce catalogs and generally can be used for sizes up to 80 pages, depending on the weight of paper. All glue bound catalogs are self-cover, as separate covers cannot be used with this type of binding.
Saddle Stitched Binding
Can be used for any size catalog or book up to 96 pages on paper weights up to 60# or 120 pages on papers up to 50#. If you wish to use a separate cover of heavier paper, you can do so with saddle stitching.
Perfect Binding
Is usually used for catalogs and books of more than 200 pages. Perfect binding requires use of a separate cover.
Single Page Flyers

This system enables us to produce single page flyers and magazines or booklets printed in single to multi-color on 30# newsprint up to 7.5# stock. The flyers are great for inserts and mailers.
