Spiral bound (Copy Shop)

Spiral bound books are built for durability. Because the spine is so rugged, it is typically used for employee training manuals, heavy-duty field guides, journals, notebooks, multi-page presentation decks, and art portfolios.

Yes. That’s a huge benefit of spiral bound books! A spiral-bound document can fold a full 360 degrees, cover-to-cover. This allows the user to lay the book completely flat on a small desk, clipboard, or music stand to save space.

We accommodate books ranging from a slim 10 pages up to a thick 300 pages. Because spiral binding book printing uses a continuous plastic coil that comes in various diameters, we simply match the coil size to the final thickness of your booklet so the pages always turn smoothly.

Yes. While our standard online menu handles the most popular document dimensions, we can accommodate custom sizes for unique print runs. If you need a specific, non-standard dimension for yours, contact us and we can set up a custom layout for you.

Yes – and landscape formatting looks great! You can choose to have your book bound on the long edge (standard portrait) or the short edge (landscape). Landscape layout is popular for corporate slide decks, technical blueprints, and horizontal art portfolios – just as a few examples.

Uncoated cover stock has a smooth, natural finish with no glare. It’s best if you want a clean, minimalist look, want something that feels natural as it’s held, or if you need to write on the cover. Coated cover stock features a semi-gloss sheen that makes high-resolution photos, graphics, and vibrant brand colours look sharp and bright.

Because our mechanical punches need to drill holes along the edge of the paper to thread the coil, you must leave a binding margin of at least 0.5 inches (13mm) on the binding side of your pages. Keep all text, numbers, and logos out of this zone so they aren’t affected.
