Spiral bound book printing

Spiral bound books, magazines and catalogues

Spiral binding, which can also be known as wire-o binding, is essential for those looking to present documents in a professional manner while enabling ease of use. One of the main benefits of wire-o bound books is that they can lie completely flat so that you can keep your hands free. They can also be rotated 360 degrees, making it easy to keep your place. This makes them perfect for brochures, catalogues, recipe books, manuals, portfolios, reports and much more.

Pixartprinting delivers spiral bound documents in a range of sizes and offers full customisation of each project. We serve thousands of customers per month and have invested in the finest equipment to provide premium products. All wire bound book printing is performed using one of our 6 HP indigo digital machines allowing for perfect results and a fast turnaround.

Spiral bound books: when to use them 

You can use spiral binding for various types of publications, including magazines, brochures and catalogues. This binding type is particular popular in the education field for dissertations, course handbooks, reports and more. Wire bound books are also ideal for any situation in which you want the book to lie open on a particular page without springing back shut, for example recipe books and manuals.

Spiral bound printing is an excellent choice for sales materials: your company brochures or catalogues can be left open at a specific page to attract the attention of customers in areas such as office receptions and waiting rooms, helping you to promote your brand and products.

Customise your spiral bound book printing

We understand that keeping control of your printing project is crucial for your branding. That’s why we offer numerous customisation options so you can ensure that your finished wiro bound books will make the desired impression and accurately reflect your brand.

Here are just a few of the aspects you can customise:

• Size – you can choose from four pre-defined sizes (A3, A4, A5 or 42x15 cm) or you can even select your own dimensions.
• Wire-o positioning – on the left, top, or top with single or double pages.
• Paper type and weight – choose from two classic paper types or six deluxe types including Turner with an orange peel texture or recycled paper to add character. Each paper type is available in different weights.
• Wire-o colour – silver or black

There are many other options that can be customised such as orientation, lamination and cover paper. Simply work your way through our order form and select your preferred options for your fully bespoke spiral bound book printing project. Our intuitive order form will automatically generate a price and delivery date when you have entered all the required fields, giving you a quote in real time. This is particularly helpful if you have a budget to keep in mind.

We have also produced a useful guide to ensure that your wiro bound book artwork is print-ready before you send it to us. Download and use the instructions file so that your project runs as smoothly as possible. We will check your artwork free of charge, but we also offer an enhanced check by one of our Graphic Designers for a small extra fee, offering you added peace of mind.
