Tape, Spiral, Comb
Print & Copy Services offers several types of binding, including Fastback (tape binding--such as coursepacks), plastic spiral and comb bindings. You may submit a file to be printed and bound, or just drop off your already printed material for binding.

Please contact us if you have any questions about the best type of binding to use for your project.

Your files will be printed as-is on the equipment that is available. Please request to see a proof, if you are concerned about how your order will look. Contact print@pugetsound.edu with any questions.

Special Tip: Straight, clean edges bind best. If you have previously printed pages with ragged edges, it is best to cut them down to a clean edge before binding.

A minimum of 25 sheets of paper is needed for Fastback and hardcover binding

All files must be saved as a PDF for printing. Learn how to save as a PDF here.

>>> Unsure how to get started designing? Microsoft Publisher is available to everyone on vDesk (in the Microsoft Office folder) and is great for creating layouts from scratch. On our website we have lots of Publisher templates that make it very easy to create brochures, posters, presentations, fliers, calling cards, and more.
