FUNCTIONAL FASTENING

Binding is an essential print process which involves the fastening of individual sheets together. Superior is proud to offer a wide variety of print binding styles, ensuring we can find the right method for your organizations next project. Our experienced staff will walk you through the different binding styles highlighting the functionalities of each until we determine the correct style for your print project.

MECHANICAL

Wire-O binding provides an aesthetically pleasing, flat piece bound by a closed wire. Conversely, Spiral binding has more flexibility – proving ideal for mailing.

ADHESIVE

Adhesive, otherwise known as perfect binding, is predominantly used for paperback books. Books are trimmed and inserted into a cover along with adhesive backing.

SEWN

Sewn book binding is one of the oldest forms of book binding and has passed the test of time due to its durability. Pages are bound together via pieces of thread.

CASE BOUND

Case book binding is a binding method often used for hardcover books. Its name derives from its construction, where pages are fabricated using a hard outside case.

SADDLE STITCH

Typically reserved for books of 60 pages or less, saddle stitching refers to the binding method where pages are folded together on one side, then stapled at the fold line.

NON-TRADITIONAL

Superior also offers a vast array of non-traditional binding methods, including: singer sewn, padding, remoistenable glue, tape binding, and more.

PROJECT SHOWCASE

Superior developed and produced a unique, rugged looking book in order to showcase Jeep’s wrangler line.

Jeep wanted this piece to exude their brand values and convey their intended identity to new and prospective customers.

Superior created a sewn book with an exposed spine; featuring a foil stamped, partial chipboard cover that clearly displayed their brand identity.
