Wire-O Binding

• Allow sufficient margin on the bind edge so that copy does not get punched through. For books that bulk less than 1/2”, copy needs to be placed a minimum of 3/8” away from the spine. Books bulking 1/2” or more require that the copy be placed 1/2” away from the spine.

• If you collate your product prior to sending it to Bindagraphics, make certain that all the pages are the same size. If there are short pages within the product, to Bindagraphics may have to punch first before collating.

• If you slip-sheet your job, make certain the slip-sheets are the same size as the job.

• If the covers are the same size as the text, save time and money by gathering them with your text which also eliminates the need for slip-sheets.
