Coil Binding

A plastic coil holds together the pages of your coil-bound book. One of the major benefits of coil binding is that the finished product will lay flat on any page. You can also use tabs to further organize your book.

This binding type is a common choice for reference materials, training manuals, calendars, cookbooks, and notebooks.

Saddle Stitch Booklet

Saddle Stitch booklets are held together with staples along the fold. This is a common choice because of how cost-effective and quick they are to print. Conlin’s offers square saddle stitch booklets that have lay-flat capabilities.

Because of the way that the spreads are printed, your InDesign document needs to be set up to ensure that your pages print in the correct order. Click here for the tutorial.

Perfect Binding

Our perfect bound books are held together with PUR glue. This durable binding provides the most professional look, which is commonly used for paperback books. We can print on the spine of perfect bound books, which will allow you to identify them when they are side by side on a bookshelf.

Wiro Binding

Wiro binding is similar in appearance to coil binding. It lays flat on any page and is super durable. The major difference between the two is their appearance. Wiro has a bit more of a classic look than coil binding. When choosing between the two, it’s really up to preference.

GBC Comb

The plastic GBC comb is similar to coil binding, except that it’s easier to add or remove pages. And like the coil binding, it comes with lay-flat capabilities. Keep in mind that this binding type is the least durable, so it’s great for business documents, presentations, or training manuals, but not so great for books or items that will need to be used long-term.

Velo Binding

Velo binding is durable and secure. Adding or removing pages is difficult, and it does not lay flat. This binding type is commonly used for legal briefs, technical or financial documents, audit reports, or manuals.
