Saddle Stitching
Saddle stitching is accomplished using a stapler or a high-speed binding machine
that inserts and bends thin wire through the spine of a document. This wire
leaves the document looking like it has been stapled. The maximum number of
sheets that can be saddle stitched is 32.
Perfect Binding
Providing an unprinted area on the inside cover of a perfect bound book gives an
area for the glue to adhere to and allows it to wrap around some of the inside
pages.
Mechanical Binding
Mechanical binding allows pages to be flat, so it is often used for technical
manuals, notebooks, and calendars.
Looseleaf Binding
Looseleaf bindings are ideal for documents that undergo frequent updates
because pages can be inserted and removed easily.
