Saddle Stitching Saddle stitching is a binding method using a metal wire (staple) on the fold of a booklet. This method allows for the booklet to sit flat when opened. Best used for a smaller amount of pages (60pp and under) - this is the most cost effective way to bind your booklet or catalogue.

PUR Binding PUR Binding is a form of perfect binding, where the pages and cover are glued together at the spine. PUR binding uses a strong glue to give maximum strength. This form of binding is better suited to a higher number of pages.

Wire Binding Wire Binding is another form of binding perfect for larger page counts. Coated metal wires are looped through punched holes at the spine. The advantage of wire binding over PUR binding is that the document is able to lay flat when open.
