The applications for each type of binding differ slightly from one to the next, but they generally fall into two categories: those that allow you to fold pages over 360°, and those that do not. As part of our finishing services, London City Print offers document binding and can print and bind your documents at our offices in London City Center, just steps away from Holborn and Covent Garden, with quick turnaround delivery directly to your office, hotel, house, or school.
PUR (Polyurethane Reactive) binding is a robust softcover bookbinding method that uses a special polyurethane adhesive for a strong, durable, and flexible bond, making it ideal for high-use items and heavier papers where lay-flat capability is desired. This process is a form of perfect binding, where pages are milled at the spine, glued with PUR adhesive, and then trimmed with a cover wrapped and attached to create clean edges. As one of our binding services in London, we only offer PUR binding for long-run production.
Wire binding, also known as wire-o or spiral binding, is a method of binding documents using a plastic-coated wire or a metal wire comb threaded through pre-punched holes along the binding edge of the pages. This technique is popular for its ability to let documents lie perfectly flat or fold back on themselves, making it ideal for practical uses like notebooks, calendars, reports, and manuals. Need it fast? We also offer same-day binding for this service.
Saddle stitching is a method of binding where folded pages are held together with staples along the spine, resembling a saddle. It’s a common, cost-effective way to bind documents like booklets, brochures, and magazines with a lower page count.
Whether you need PUR, wire, or saddle-stitched binding, London City Print offers reliable finishing services, with same-day binding available when you need it most. Contact us today for a free quote on document binding in London.
