STRIP BINDING

Strip binding has an aesthetically pleasing nature of the near instant binding styles. Strip Binding is one of our while-u-wait binding services. Strip Binding are inclusive of clear acetate or card covers, these can be on the front and back in any configuration. In addition, an alternative extra is printed card covers. The spine material is usually standard Black or White, but there are many other colours to choose from.

Strip bound documents can enhance the look and appeal of standard printed-paper documents. Strip bind allows the Presentation document to have that extra flare, this style may give you the edge to turn a good document into a exceptionally pleasing and noticed booklet. Further professionality and style can be added by personalising your books with our hot foiling or embossing options, available in a variety of colours and fonts, to learn more just visit our Hot Foil Printing page, or check the "Foil Printing on Book Cover" section when filling out the form below. Students, Universities, Colleges and Professionals have all used Strip Binding style to their advantage.

Strip binding has a maximum capacity of 18mm (1.8cm). There are also some limitations of the types and weights of paper that are suitable. However, if your document is unable to use Strip Binding, then we are able to offer a different document binding with a similar appearance or other styles of book binding.
