Brochures and booklets come in different shapes and sizes. How you finish them depends on what you are using them for, the audience you want to appeal to, the practicalities and the number of pages. What do all the finishes mean?
Wire stitched – this is another way of saying that the booklet will have all its pages attached by two staples on the spine. You can have them on the long edge or the short edge depending on the finished size you would like.
Perfect bound – this is where you have a spine to the book and has to be done in some cases where the number of pages is too large to be stapled. An extra finish to this is where the outer cover has a sleave on it – this becomes case bound, resulting in a hard wearing and durable product.
Manuals, training documents lend themselves well to wiro binding – the pages are easy to turn.
