Wire-O binding is a book binding technique that seamlessly threads a specially designed length of wire through the edge of your printed material. It’s fantastic for a number of reasons, but a big one is that it allows for easy mixing of paper stocks, which isn’t always the case with other book binding methods. Wire-O binding also allows your book to lay flat, and is available quickly and at high volume. 

These factors make Wire-O binding a top choice for lookbooks, or any other presentation material. To find out more about lookbooks, check out our blog post Lookbooks vs. Catalogs vs. Booklets.

We also offer a host of other specialty printing services which work brilliantly alongside Wire-O book binding. Letterpressing is one of the original printing techniques, and provides both a top quality visual addition to your book binding, but also has a gorgeous tactile element. 

If a luxurious texture is the route you’d like to explore with your book binding, embossing and debossing both provide amazing results. Debossing imprints your design into the paper using pressure, leaving you with a classy, elegant design element. Embossing presses out from the back of the page, leaving behind a raised image which not only looks brilliant, but feels amazing too.

• Presentable and elegant way to display your project
• Perfect for high-page count magazines, catalogs, books, etc.
• Minimum Page count of 52ppg
