Printing Bindery Services

For a lot of print projects, the job is not done until it goes through bindery. So, it does you no good to get your job printed beautifully and fast if you can’t get the finishing touches put on it quickly. That, of course, is why we offer a full range of in-house printing bindery services, basically anything you could possibly need to get your job completed, out the door and ready to win the moment for your brand. Read on to learn more about print bindery services in general, as well as our specific capabilities.

What Are Print Bindery Services?

Basically, print bindery services refer to the final steps needed to complete many types of print projects. Bindery services cover a wide range of potential services. During the bindery process bindery workers and equipment take the printed and finished materials that go into your project – brochures, POP materials, magazines, direct mailers, pamphlets, catalogs, POP kits and all kinds of other print projects – and then add whatever final touches are needed. Examples of bindery services include but are not limited to folding, cutting, sewing, stapling, stitching, collating and gluing – whatever is needed to produce a finished product. Bindery services can sometimes overlap with:

• Other finishing services such as die-cutting, foil stamping, laminating and embossing – services which are also sometimes needed to finish projects and get them out the door. You can read more about our finishing capabilities here.
• Also, fulfillment services like envelope stuffing, mailing and kitting (packing kits of printed materials that go to customers or prospects – for instance a kit of POP printed materials for retailers). Read more about our mailing and fulfillment services here.

When It Comes to Printing Bindery Services Here’s What to Look For

Choosing the right printer for your project should also include an evaluation of any bindery services you are going to need for some or all your projects. Look for three things:

• In-house bindery services – having as many services as possible under one roof minimizes the need to send anything outside – which can result in a loss of control over quality and timing
• The speed that comes from automated bindery services vs. manual ones
• The quality that comes from the best bindery technologies, so your printed materials come out perfect (and as you may know, we pride ourselves on offering customers the best technologies across our full range of services).
