Binding Option for Wire-O Bound Books

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

Twin Loop Wire Options

The twin loop wires we use in wire-o bound books come in a variety of coated colors—such as black, white, silver, and more—and a range of sizes to suit every need and any page count.

Common Wire-O Bound Book Sizes

Wire-O bound books come in various sizes, depending on their purpose, target audience, and page count. While we can produce custom sizes to meet your specifications, it's often more cost-effective and efficient to stick with standard sizes, as they simplify production and guarantee a proven track record.

Here are a few common wire-O bound book sizes for different uses:

  • Year-end business report: 8.5" x 11" – 500 pages
  • Technical or user manual: 5.5" x 8.5" – 236 pages
  • Large format workbook: 7" x 12" – 120 pages
  • Standard planner: 5.5" x 8.5" – 366 pages

Wire-O Bound Book Paper Options

For books with colorful illustrations, diagrams, or graphics, we recommend gloss or matte art paper. Both provide vibrant color reproduction that will make your visuals stand out. Gloss paper is ideal for books with more graphics and less text, while matte paper works better for books with more text and fewer images. Matte paper offers great color reproduction and is easier to read.

What if I want my recipients to write in the book?

If your book needs to be interactive, such as for notes, forms, or annotations, we suggest using uncoated paper stock. Unlike gloss or matte paper, uncoated paper absorbs ink, making it ideal for writing with pencils, pens, or Sharpies.

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

Endsheet 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 endsheets 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 endsheets connect the hardcover casing and the interior pages when binding the book. So, there are two endsheets, 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.
