There are many different binding choices available depending on how many pages your yearbook will have. Each binding gives the reader a different type of experience. It is nice to open the yearbook and smell those freshly printed pages and that nice hard cover and hear the binding crinkle and crack when that first open happens.
Different binding styles have different costs so it will be important to choose the right one for your budget. Lay flat bindings allow you to use a bit more of the space on each page. For yearbooks that have a short page count and space needs to be utilized a lay flat binding option would work well. It would allow the copy and also photos to be brought all the way to the inside edge of each page where other binding options might stop you from getting to close to the inside with fear of cutting pf text and photos. When the yearbook is opened up the pages lay flat allowing for one continuous surface.
With tough economic times right now might be a great time to explore various binding options to keep your costs down as much as possible. traditional bindings can very expensive and generate very little results. Check out lay flat binding when you start to hunt for a new printer for your binding needs.
