Finishing and Distribution

QuickTips Index

Use Less Durable Binding Methods
Not all binding methods cost the same.

Use a Binding Method That Doesn't Require Extra Steps
The more steps involved in finishing a print project, the greater the cost. Choose a binding method that doesn't add too much cost to the finishing.

Use Standard Folds in Your Designs
Hand-folding can cost extra. Stick with standard machine folds offered by your printer.

Kick Off the Covers to Save Money
Covers add to the finished costs. To save money, use a binding method that doesn't require covers or uses less expensive covers.
