When you're tasked with a business printing job of any type or size, you have a handful of options to consider depending on the impact you want to make. From traditional saddle-stitching methods to the beauty of perfect binding, there's something for every purpose, and Cincinnati, OH's Millprint has been the area's go-to printing company for the past 23 years. 

If you find the binding decision to be a little more confusing or overwhelming than you expected, here's a helpful overview of some of the most popular business printing options and the benefits of each. 

Saddle Stitching

When you think of your basic printed business materials, saddle stitching is most likely the method that comes to mind first. The process involves staples placed halfway through the sheets, with two or three visible along the spine of the finished product. While this is a basic option, it's also very cost-effective and still manages to look classy. 

Spiral Binding

Spiral binding techniques are similar to what you'll see on most notebooks, and styles range from plastic to wire binding. The former brings more colorful options to the table, and both are durable and comparable in price. Despite the casual appearance, spiral bindings can open 360 degrees without damaging the print media.

Perfect Binding

Business printing jobs that call for a larger page count will benefit greatly from perfect binding, which works well for volumes of 40 or more sheets. Thanks to the application of a strong adhesive, perfect-bound books are durable, attractive, and reasonably priced. 

Square-Back Binding

This blends the style of perfect binding and saddle stitching. Pages are stapled along the spine, but the way in which they're pressed together gives them the appearance of perfect-bound booklets. The mix of these different methods comes with very cost-effective pricing, making them ideal for short runs. 

The type of binding you end up with will ultimately come down to your budget and the style most appropriate for your specific business printing needs.
