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.
