Common Questions About Spiral Bound Printing

We’ve answered some of the most common questions about spiral bound book printing below.

For personalized advice, your dedicated advisor is here to help.

  • Spiral: Crush-resistant and durable. Best for heavy-use manuals and workbooks.

  • Wire-O: Looks more formal but bends easily if mishandled.

  • Verdict: Choose Spiral for longevity and durability.

We can bind up to 2 inches thick (approx. 450–500 pages). We use coils up to 50mm to ensure smooth page-turning even for the thickest industrial manuals.

Leave at least 12mm to 15mm (0.5″) of inner margin. This ensures the punch holes don’t cut into your text. Our team will audit your files to verify this before printing.

You cannot print on the coil itself. However, we offer “Wrap-around Covers” that provide a flat, printable spine so your book title is visible on a shelf.

  • Plastic (PVC): Flexible and “bounces back” if crushed. Ideal for most applications.

  • Metal: Offers a premium, industrial feel and extra strength, but can stay bent if heavy pressure is applied.

Yes. In addition to Black, White, and Clear, we provide full PMS (Pantone) color matching to ensure the binding perfectly aligns with your brand identity.

Our standard minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 100 copies. This allows us to use high-quality offset printing to achieve the best per-unit price for your project.
