Training Workbooks
Course workbooks and workshop packs. Saddle-stitch for shorter runs, Wire-O when pages need to flip flat.
Site & Field Guides
Pocket or A5 guides for site teams. Uncoated stock that takes a pen and a bit of abuse.
Wire-O and comb
lead the way.
Saddle-stitch works for thinner packs. Perfect binding is mainly for higher volumes (100+). Most manuals land on Wire-O or plastic comb.

8-300 pages
Plastic Comb

Saddle-stitch
Two staples through the spine. Fast and economical for thinner handbooks and workbooks.

Perfect Bound
Glued softcover spine. Makes sense at higher volumes (typically 100+) when you want a book-like finish.
