What Type of Binding Do you Plan on Using?
January 7th, 2009
You have to ask yourself a few things when trying to determine what type of binding you would like to use for your year book. You have to find out how much of a budget you have set aside for binding because different binding styles will have various costs.
Here is a list of various binding styles:
Spiral Bind: This option is popular amongst student for it’s customization offerings. You can choose various different spiral binding colors . This option also allows the yearbook to open fully and not distorting any photos on any of the pages.
Perfect Bind: Perfect bind is similar to what you see on most magazines over 40 pages. This is the classic hard edged binding that gives the magazine a true backbone and rigidness.
Saddle Stitch: Saddle stitch is a good choice for cost purposes. Also if you have less than 80 pages saddle stitch has to be implemented before you can go to a perfect bind option.
Most likely you will be choosing from one of these three options. Each option carries different characteristics and costs so consult with your printer first.
