Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between saddle-stitch and spiral / wire-O bindings?

Saddle-stitch (stapled) binding: binding process which consists in binding the pages together by several staples in the fold.

Wire-O binding: a binding process very similar to spiral binding, except that it is a comb with metal rings and not a spiral that allows the pages to hold together. It gives a more luxurious look than its spiral plastic counterpart.
