Coil Options for Spiral Bound Books

You can choose from a range of options to customize your spiral bound book to your specific needs. None of the following choices change the fundamental advantages of spiral binding. Your book will still be practical, durable, attractive, and functional. You can turn the pages through 360°, lay the book completely flat, stand it up for presentations, and more.

The coils we use in spiral bound books come in a variety of vibrant colors and a range of sizes to suit every need.

Common Spiral Bound Book Sizes

The dimensions of your spiral bound book largely depend on its purpose, target audience, page count, and the type of graphics it contains. While we can produce spiral bound books in virtually any size, we generally recommend sticking to standard sizes for most projects. This approach simplifies production, reduces costs, and ensures the book meets industry standards.

Here are some suggested sizes for different types of spiral bound books:

  • Company Report: 8.5" x 11", up to 300 pages
  • Instructional Manual: 5.5" x 8.5", up to 200 pages
  • Scholastic Workbook: 7" x 12", up to 300 pages
  • Diary/Appointment Planner: 5.5" x 8.5", up to 200 pages

Of course, these are just guidelines. At QinPrinting, we offer full flexibility and can create custom spiral bound books in any size or format you require. However, keep in mind that custom sizes may incur additional costs and longer production times due to extra pre-press work.

Additionally, while there's no minimum size requirement, 300 pages is the maximum practical limit for an effective spiral binding. For certain projects, the extra investment in customization may be worth it. Ultimately, the choice is yours to make!

Spiral Bound Book Paper Options

Choosing the right paper for your spiral bound book depends on your content and its purpose:

  • Gloss Paper: Best for books with full-color visuals and fewer texts, such as photo books or catalogs. It enhances color vibrancy and makes images stand out.

  • Matte Paper: Ideal for books with both text and graphics, providing excellent color reproduction with a softer, non-reflective surface. Perfect for reports or manuals.

  • Uncoated Paper: Recommended for interactive books like workbooks or journals. It's perfect for writing or drawing with pens, pencils, or markers.

Each option offers unique benefits, depending on your project's needs.

Hardcover Board Book Bnding

This binding method adds a hardcover to a standard board book for extra durability and a premium feel. Like traditional board books, the pages are glued together rather than bound, with a printed sheet wrapped over the first and last boards and across the spine. The difference is that a hardcover is then applied, enhancing protection and making it a popular choice for high-quality board books.

The interior pages will have rounded outer corners. The corners of the cover are not normally rounded. If you need round corners for your cover, please contact us.

Inner Lamination

We laminate all the interior pages.

Paper

Board books are made of the same paper throughout, so there’s no difference between the cover and the interior pages.

Most board books feature colorful illustrations, cartoons, or other artwork. So, we recommend printing on C1S paper to get the best results.

coated one side (C1S) paper

C1S paper—also called “coated one side” paper—is paper that has been treated with a special coating on only one side, while the other side is left uncoated. The coated side has a brighter, smoother surface, making it ideal for vibrant, full-color printing of the artwork and text of your story. The uncoated side has a more natural, rougher texture, but in board book printing, this rough side is not visible because two sheets are glued together, with the uncoated sides facing inward. This way, only the smooth, coated sides are exposed, ensuring a high-quality finish for your book’s pages.

Dust Jacket

The so-called “dust jacket” is the most common and practical way of covering a hardcover book. Used alone or combined with image-wrapping, it finishes your book with a professional touch while adding five printable surfaces—front, back, spine, and two inside flaps. We can print it in full colour, gloss coat it, matte coat it; emboss, deboss, laminate, and foil stamp it, too, for added effects.

Hardcover Book Dust Jacket

End Sheet Paper

  • If your book size is 8.5″ x 11″ or less with an interior page count of fewer than 320 pages, then a good option for the end sheets is 140 gsm / 95 lb offset paper.
  • If your book size is larger than 8.5″ x 11″, then 180 gsm / 122 lb offset paper would be better.
  • If your end sheets will be printed and your book’s interior uses gloss or matte art paper—say, for an art book or coffee table book—to make sure the colors match well, use 157gsm / 58 lb gloss or matte art paper for your end sheets.

The end sheets connect the hardcover casing and the interior pages when binding the book. So, there are two end sheets, one at the front and one at the back and both glued to the grayboard cover.

The maximum page count here is 800 pages. If you need more pages, please contact us.

If your book is larger, say, 8.5″ x 11″ or A4 size, one signature will have 16 pages. So, the inner page amount should be divisible by 16. Making your page counts match signatures is the most economical solution.
