Binding & Finishing Services:
The Print Shop bindery and finishing department has an experienced and professional staff knowledgeable in all phases necessary to complete print jobs to your desired specifications. 
The printed jobs can be generated within our printing department or provided by the customer for finishing. If providing preprinted material, please call for necessary instructions prior to printing. Some processes, such as saddle stitching, require oversized printed stock for trim and gripper. We will be glad to work with you on advance requirements and scheduling. 
Equipment in our bindery department includes three automatic folders, two power paper cutters, automatic collators for gathering sheets into booklets and an automatic binder /stapler /trimmer for magazine type binding (known as saddle stitching). 
The Print Shop has the ability to do perforating, scoring, die cutting, laminating, numbering, padding, etc. 
Binding techniques include stapling (in top left corner or two staples on the left margin), spiral binding (GBC or coil), saddle stitching and perfect binding. Brief descriptions and illustrations of these techniques are provided on the next page. You must select a binding procedure appropriate for your particular job as well as your budget.
