Coil Bound Booklets
Enhance Your Professional Presentations. Looking for a reliable, professional binding solution for your documents? Coil bound binding is an ideal choice for creating polished reports, training manuals, presentations, and portfolios. Combining durability with ease of use, coil binding adds a professional touch to your printed materials, ensuring they stand out and withstand the test of time.
Coil binding involves inserting a durable plastic coil through holes punched along the document's spine. This type of binding is perfect for documents that require frequent handling, as it allows them to lay flat when open and rotate 360 degrees for effortless reading.

Top Tips:
To ensure your order is seamless, consider these essential tips:
- Page Layout:
Make sure to follow proper layout guidelines for coil binding, including bleeds, margins, and spacing. Prontaprint's team is available to offer guidance if you're unsure. - Page margins:
Leave enough space on the bound side (at least 15mm) to avoid the punched holes cutting into important text or images. For double sided printing, your bound margin will be on the Left edge for odd pages and right edge for even pages. - Proofread Your Content:
Before submitting your file for printing, thoroughly review and proofread your content to avoid any last-minute changes or costly reprints. - High-Resolution Artwork:
Always provide high-resolution images and graphics (300dpi or more) to ensure your print is crisp and visually appealing. Low-resolution files can lead to blurry prints. - Page Count Matters:
The total number of pages determines the coil size, so ensure your document specifications match the binding capacity. - Preview the Layout:
Double-check how your document appears when opened fully to ensure that important content is not affected by the coil placement. - Paper Selection:
Think about the look and feel of your publication. A glossy paper finish offers a vibrant, upscale look, while matte or uncoated paper provides a more subdued, professional feel. Opt for a heavier paper stock for more durable and high-quality pages. - Cover finish:
Going for a laminated cover enhances durability and provides protection against wear and tear, ideal for booklets that will be frequently handled. Alternatively, you can add clear or frosted acetate covers front and back for protection on short print runs.
