Coil Binding

Printing Unlimited features a coil binding machine in-house to support a variety of print project needs. Spiral coil-bound books utilize a plastic coil to hold pages together. Coil binding adds a professional touch to reports, books, and collections of documents to be sent by mail.

The benefit of coil binding is in having the document lay flat when opened. Unlike Duo-tang binders or stapled documents, the full content of each page is exposed in coil binding, so no information near the spine is hidden or compromised. Coil-bound books are sleek and take up minimal space, unlike bulky three-ring binders – great for travelling and presenting to large groups.
