Binding (Cerlox)
Get a professionally bound look, with room for growth in the future. Cerlox binding allows you to quickly and easily add sheets as necessary.
The spines are available in multiple colours and widths to accommodate whatever sized report or book you have.
Plastic or cardstock covers and backs are available to add to the stability and appearance of your documents.
Binding (Spiral)
Spiral binding is more visually appealing than cerlox binding, and has the benefit of allowing your book to lay flat.
Ideal for everything from presentations to recipe books and more, spiral binding gives you the flexibility you need. It is available in black or white (or colours if you are ordering larger quantities), and in a multitude of widths to accommodate any size.
Plastic or cardstock covers and backs are available to add to the stability and appearance of your documents.
Book Binding
Thinking of publishing your own books? Looking for something more for your booklets, reports, training manuals and more? Not satisfied with the look of stapling or other binding options? Try out our soft or hard-cover book binding options.
Not only do they look more professional, but they lay flat, so they can be easily stacked, stored or shipped. These binding options are ideal for larger quantities of printing, but can also be done for smaller quantities if needed.
Book binding is ideal for any compilation not requiring future changes, since the binding is permanent. It requires a minimum of 40 pages, up to about 2″ thick.
Consider book binding for:
– family histories
– memoirs
– novels
– reports
– essays
– portfolios
– music
– magazines
– training manuals
– guest and log-in books
– and much more!
For thicker books, you can add the title, author’s name and other details to the spine for quick viewing on your bookshelf.
Soft-cover (or perfect) binding takes a printed cardstock cover and glues the inside pages into the spine, giving you a stylish and simple solution.
Hard-cover (or case) binding is a more durable option, where the inside pages are glued into a text block, which is then adhered to a hard cover (usually cardboard covered in paper or cloth).

Cutting + Trimming
Leave your cutting jobs, big and small, to our experts and cutting equipment.
You’ve got better things to do than get scissor blisters. Don’t waste your valuable time and effort trying to do it all by yourself. Treat your project to straight, professional edges.
Large order or small, our trained professionals can make short work of any cutting job.
Drilling
It’s not the first time we’ve seen it. You’ve been given the job of three-hole punching a huge pile of paper on your desk. And here you are with a three-hole punch that does 3 pages at a time.
You don’t have to go through this. With our drill press that can handle up to 500 sheets at a time, let us take on the responsibility of drilling that gigantic pile of paper. We’ve got your back.
Folding
Save yourself time, money and the headache! Let us finish the job by having your documents folded.
We have many different options available, from simple half and tri-folds to gate folds and beyond. The sky is the limit (especially if you want us to fold paper airplanes for you).
For those thicker papers, see our “scoring” service to prevent the inevitable cracking along the edge. Treat your printed material to the respect it deserves. Show your audience you care about even the little details.
Grommetting
You know those circle metal rings that are attached to materials to prevent tearing of a pierced section? The protective pieces that extend the longevity of your large format printing?
Those are grommets. Some also call them eyelets. We knew you were wondering.
As many as you need, wherever you’d like them – we’ve got the time and the materials.
Laminating
It’s a rough world out there for paper. Constant threats of moisture, rampant creasing, and the ever present danger of the infamous spilled coffee. Help keep your paper safe.
Laminate it in one of three different grades of protection – ranging from simple preservation to full strength outdoor weather-proof laminate. Even available with an adhesive backing for sign applications. Call today for more details.
From business card to banner, we can keep your valuable documents protected with a wide range of varying weight laminates (available in 3 / 5 / 10 mil).

Want to order a poster, but you need it for more than just hanging on your wall to make the room look pretty?

Perforating
Perforating is a form of cutting that is done with very precise cutter – but cuts in a dashed line, keeping the full sheet together and allows for easier tearing.
Need some custom tickets for a raffle at your local organization, or looking to create your own custom gift certificates for your small business? We can offer an easy solution that allows you to save time when ripping your tickets or certificates. We can perforate wherever you need.

Print Plus can help you save space, preserve archives and put critical documents at your fingertips with our scanning service.
Turn your old fading documents into digital files and do away with masses of files taking up space in your cabinets. You will have fast retrieval from the desktop and can put your archive room on a laptop.
What’s more, you can use our optical character recognition service to turn digital files into searchable documents.
Scanning is great for:
– Photos

– Invoices and Receipts
– Manuals

Scoring
Folding heavy paper stocks (65lb or thicker) or digitally printed papers will generally create cracking along the folded edge. To achieve a crisp, clean fold, we score a line along that hinge, which helps it to fold cleanly and quickly.
When thicker paper is folded without scoring, it cracks along the spine. Because the paper cracks, so does the ink that is printed on it. This is especially noticeable when there is a darker ink that shows the white paper through the cracked area. Scoring is an excellent option to keep your projects looking beautiful to the end.
After scoring, your paper will have a side that is indented along the hinge, and one side that is raised along the fold line. To properly fold it, the side with the raised line will go on the inside of the fold, giving you a much cleaner look.
Scoring is great for:
– Book Covers
– Pamphlet / Report Covers
– Brochures
– Folders
– Packaging
– Event Programs
– Menus
– Greeting Cards
– Folded Business Cards
– Table Cards
Stapling
Have you printed out a stack of 37 page documents and you need to use them in your presentation tomorrow, but your stapler can’t quite manage to staple through all of those pages? We understand. We can do that without punishing your depressed stapler. Put him away and let him rest until tomorrow. Our series of industrial grade staplers can plow through your pile of documents in no time.
