Whatever your project is designed to do, the extensive bindery services at Sentinel Printing provide a variety of options to complete it with style. We also offer additional finishing services to add eye-catching value to your products. Aesthetic appeal can be fashioned by a combination of options, from the creative use of spot varnish to a unique trim size.

Perfect Binding

A standard binding style for projects of all types, perfect binding is a process of gluing signatures to a cover piece using hot-melt adhesives. Our 21-pocket perfect binder is the jewel of the bindery, offering speedy, efficient production. Perfect binding also allows you to print on the spine, and is a cost-effective way to produce great products.

Saddle Stitching

A cost-effective solution with a classic look, saddle stitching is a great choice for brochures, booklets, magazines and other small-to-medium size pieces.

Hardcover Binding

Hardcover binding, also called case binding, provides a thicker layer of protection than most binding styles. Endsheets are attached to signatures and then glued to boards, which can be wrapped in cloth, plastics or imitation or bonded leather. An impressive look, hardcover books also layflat and allow you to print directly onto the spine.

Plastic Coil Binding

An extremely versatile mechanical binding solution, plastic coil binding is also among the most durable. Plastic coil binding allows you to include different paper stocks and styles, which can all be added at different points in the production process.

Film Laminating

Film lamination over graphics and images can add depth and give colors a little extra pop. And it not only looks great, it can protect your product from scratches or moisture damage.

Other binding options and services are available. Please call a Sentinel Sales Representative for more information.
