Binding

Once printing is done, the next step is the binding. It means that the paper sheets must be folded and arranged together in the proper way. They must be cut to obtain the correct size and then put together.

We offer all kinds of binding processes:

standard or personalized cutting

folding– single, letter, Z fold (accordion), double parallel fold, engineering fold, gate fold, double gate fold, french fold (crosses), map fold…
