About this service

Finishing is what turns a stack of printed sheets into a finished product. From a simple fold to a fully bound book, we handle it all in-house — which means tighter quality control and a faster turnaround than sending work out.

Choose from saddle-stitching, perfect binding, spiral and comb binding, plus folding, scoring, trimming, lamination and die-cutting. Not sure what suits your job? We'll talk you through the options.

What binding options do you offer?

Saddle-stitch (stapled), perfect binding (glued spine), spiral binding, riveting, 2-4 hole drilling for ring binders, for documents that need to lie flat. We'll recommend the best fit for your page count and use.

Can you finish print I've had done elsewhere?

Please call to discuss.

Do you laminate?
