Sheet size/ Binding
Click on the image above to learn more about different binding styles.
We had a project go from 6-1/4 x 8-1/4″ to 7 x 9″: the 6-1/4″ x 8-1/4″ size is able to be printed on a sheet that allows for 16pp on each side, but because the paper is too thick to bind in 32′s (book is printing on 128gsm matt), we would then cut the sheet in half and bind them in 16s.
The 7 x 9″ size is able to be printed on a sheet that allows for 8pp on each side, and this would also be bound in 16′s.
If the paper weight is below 100gsm, we’re able to bind in 32′s. Anything over 100gsm must be bound in 16′s as it’s too thick for the sewing machine.
