Where Spiral Binding Shines

  • Training manuals, SOPs and workshop guides
  • Cookbooks and craft/DIY instructions
  • Study guides, planners and logbooks
  • Music books and reference titles that need to stay open

Paper, Covers & Durability

Interior Stocks

Uncoated for heavy note-taking, satin for mixed text and images, or gloss when you want maximum colour pop. We’ll recommend grammages that balance opacity, weight and durability.

Covers & Protection

Add gloss or matte lamination to resist scuffs in bags and on benches. For extra toughness, consider a heavier cover or our hard cover wire-bound option.

Binding Options

Choose spiral (coil) for flexible page turns, twin-loop wire for a refined look, or comb binding for economical office manuals. All options open flat for easy reference.

FAQs

Is there a minimum order?

No minimum order quantity. Print exactly what you need and reorder anytime.

Which is better—spiral, wire or comb?

Spiral (coil) is flexible and rugged for everyday use, wire looks more premium and stacks neatly, while comb is a cost-effective option for office manuals. We’ll help match the binding to your use case.

Can I add tabs or dividers?

Yes—section tabs and divider pages work well in spiral, wire and comb bound books. Ask for recommendations when you request your quote.

We focus on results

  • I found the site gave me a good guide to the process and also the personal contacts regarding my queries with Donna helped considerably. I was very pleased with the printing result, as was my family when receiving their copy of our family history. I would highly recommend the company to others for an efficient service at a reasonable price.

    It was my first experience of book publishing.
  • I ordered 100 perfect bound books and received 10 free, which was great. I have recommended The Book Printing Company to my friends and associates. Self-publishing has been easy thanks to these ladies. The books look great! This company is honest and their customer service is second to none.
