Spiral binding & printing services: Invest in customization and flexibility
Choosing the right binding method for your academic paper, activity book, or textbook is a tall order. You’ll have to compare an abundance of materials, features, and presentation options and determine whether it fits your budget. Want to speed up the selection process? Go for spiral book binding to save yourself the trouble.
You can have your text-heavy or image-heavy piece printed and spiral-bound at Print It ZA. We accept PDF files and have a range of hole-punching and coil-insertion machines to prepare your small or large book for the required use in the twinkling of an eye. Our swiftness and pricing make it the best deal for effective binding.
The technicalities of ring binding services
Like with other binding methods, the first thing to do is to print all your page sheets and arrange them. These can be text-only pages or those filled with colorful illustrations, depending on the type of your book.
During step #2, our team will create evenly spaced holes for the insertion of a spring-like element called a spiral or a ring. The holes are precisely punched along the edge using a professional machine to eliminate inconsistencies. Then, we’ll put a continuous, wear-resistant plastic coil through the openings and twist the ring bind at the ends. Twisting is crucial to secure the coil and prevent it from coming undone. The spiral size will be selected to match your preferred paper thickness and support the flexibility of a bound book.
Benefits of spiral binding
With the properly inserted and sized spiral coil, you get a book that can be flipped 360°, open freely, and lay flat without additional support. This makes ring binding highly beneficial for pieces that require improved flexibility or are expected to be used for both reading and writing. Think of:
- Activity books
- Sketchbooks
- Diaries
- Journals
- Notebooks
- Textbooks
- Academic and Training papers
For an extra aesthetic touch to the spiral bind in South Africa, you can choose from various plastic coil colors. This allows you to easily switch between compliant presentations in an educational facility or more creative looks.
