Saddle Stitch - Saddle stitched binding is a common binding for magazines, catalogs, and brochures. The pages of the book are bound together with 2 pieces of wire or staples that literally stitch themselves through the pages of the book, and hold them in place.

Perfect Bound - Perfect Binding is a widely used soft cover book binding method. With this binding method, the pages and cover are glued together at the spine with a strong yet flexible thermal glue. The other three sides of the book are then trimmed as needed to give them clean “perfect” edges.

Spiral Binding and Coil Binding are interchangeable terms for the same book binding method. This popular method joins the pages and cover of a book using a durable plastic or metal coil. The coil is inserted and twisted through small holes or slots punched along the spinal edge of the book's cover and pages.

Wire-O Binding is a similar process to that of Spiral/Coil binding, but will use a Spiraled Wire piece instead of the coated coil.

The term "spot" within the print world refers to the process of applying a specialty coating to a particular spot or shape on the press sheet. This could be a hit of coating on a logo, image or graphic within a design for that extra pop of wow! The term "flood" within the print world refers to the process of applying a specialty coating to an entire press sheet. This process essentially “floods” the entire sheet of paper so when the piece is trimmed to final size there is no void of coating anywhere.

The term "Dull" within the coating process of the print world refers to the finish sheen of a coating. Dull and Matte are almost interchangeable, and do not dry with a glossy or shiny look, but more the look of a satin paint after it has dried. In turn "Gloss" within the coating process of the print world refers to the finish sheen of a coating that dries with a glossy or shiny look.

Aqueous Coatings - Low cost water based aqueous coatings are among the most commonly used coatings Available today and provide good protection from fingerprints and other blemishes. Like varnishes, aqueous coatings are applied inline on press, but they are shinier and smoother than varnish, have higher abrasion and rub resistance, are less likely to yellow and are more environmentally friendly. Aqueous coatings dry faster than varnishes too, which means faster turnaround times.

UV Coatings - Extremely high gloss UV, or ultraviolet, coatings offer more protection than either varnish or aqueous coatings. UV coatings are applied as a liquid, using a roller, screen or blanket, and then exposed to ultraviolet light to polymerize and harden the coating, with zero emissions. The coatings can either be applied across the entire page or, while lacking the precision of a varnish, on a spot basis. The coatings are Available in a high gloss as well as matte, satin and wide variety of specialty finishes.

A varnish is a thin-protective layer that is applied to a printed sheet for protection or appearance. This coating has two options: UV- or aqueous-based. For packaging purposes, varnishes are essentially a clear ink that can be dull, satin, matte, or glossy.

A method of using sharp steel ruled stamps or rollers to cut various shapes i.e. labels, boxes, image shapes, either post press or in line. The process of cutting paper in a shape or design by the use of a wooden die or block in which are positioned steel rules in the shape of the desired pattern.

Rivets and eyelets are utilized in printing to reinforce holes punched through a substrate. Some can be utilized as a hinge allowing multiple pieces to move freely and fan out around it. They typically come in colors such as gold and sliver.

A process for printing from images engraved into copper or steel places and stamping with foil to give a metallic look.
