Copytex - Bindery & Finishing Services

	Punch and Plastic Comb Binding By punching twenty holes along the edge of the A4 size book and inserting a plastic comb, this method can be used for binding books up to two inches in thickness. You can select from an assortment of colored binders. Books will lie flat on a desk for easy reference.
	Plastic Coil Spiral Binding A continuous plastic coil is threaded into a series of small holes running the length of the binding edge. This results in bound pages that are resistant to tearing, will lay flat, and may be folded back on themselves. Coils come in an assortment of colors. Bound books are sturdy and will not come apart.
	Staple and Tape Binding A piece of sturdy cloth tape is fused to the document along the left or right margin, forming a spine. Books and manuals up to 2" thick can be handled with a tape bind. Tape binding is available in various colors. Known for its strength and permanence, this preferred bind of academia produces bound results similar to a paperback book.
	Booklet Making / Saddle Stitching This system works well for books that aren't too thick (up to 80 pages plus cover). After folding the collated sheets in half, they are stitched (stapled) along the fold edge and trimmed. This finishing touch is used most commonly with newsletters, company bulletins and catalogs.
	Hard Cover Binding Hard Cover binding is a well-bound book binding and most commonly used for college assignment report, contract agreement or construction report. It is also used for binding publications that are too thick to be stapled in a saddle-stitched format.

In-house bindery services are a critical element to "Just In Time" printing. Too often a printer completes the job on time only to have the outside bindery shop fail to meet its delivery commitment. At Copytex, virtually all bindery work is performed on premises, allowing us complete control of the project from set-up to shipping. When we commit to a deadline, you can count on us!
