The right binding method is usually driven by page count, stock, format, durability and the way the piece will be used.
Saddle stitch
A straightforward option for lower-page-count brochures and booklets where the format and stock suit folding and stitching.
PUR binding
A glued square-spine finish often used for thicker brochures, catalogues and publications. It gives a clean spine and works across a wide range of projects.
Section sewing
Printed sections are folded, gathered and sewn. It is a strong option for books and premium publications where durability matters.
Case binding
A rigid hard-cover construction for books and presentation pieces that need a substantial, long-lasting finish.
Lay-flat binding
Useful where photography, layouts or technical drawings need to run across the centre spread with minimal interruption.
The page count and material specification matter, so it is worth discussing binding before the artwork is completely locked.
