Considering Spiral Binding for Your Book?
The spiral bound book printing business remains active as many authors and publishers realize the user-friendliness of the spiral. It gives books a novel look and also makes them easy to use. Titles that receive heavy use and need to stay open last longer in spiral bound. Book buyers appreciate convenience, and it can favorably influence their purchasing decisions. Today's plastic spirals which are virtually crush-proof, also add value. The wire-o versions look good but can sometimes bend out of shape. The plastic versions also offer a range of color choices. You can compliment your cover design or contract with it.
Cookbooks and manuals are the book types most often printed with spiral bindings. It lets readers keep them open to a page conveniently and without wear and tear on the spine. Hardcover and paperback books don't stay open as easily, and when bent back repeatedly, there can be deterioration. Many of the most bellowed and heavily used books can benefit from spiral bindings, and they are interesting to consider for some children's titles. Your book's appearance is also essential, and you should remember it. The binding needs to support the topic and make sense to people who see it.
The covers of spiral books that need to be durable are also a consideration. Laminating them and using a thicker coverboard can make sense. They add to the durability and give the book a nicer feel. If the inside pages are on heavier laminated paper stock, you may have the cover printed on the same stock. It will give the book a flexible feel that readers may prefer. It's common for manuals that are kept open during projects or classes. Also, when books are shared and used by many readers, it's crucial to keep durability in mind. Longer-lasting spiral editions give greater value to institutional buyers.
When would you choose a binding other than a spiral? If a book is going to be held and read like a novel, a hardcover or paperback binding is preferable. As helpful as the spiral is for books that will be kept open, it is not as comfortable to hold as the other options. It's why binding choices vary by genre and use. When people see your book and consider buying a copy, its appearance must make sense to them. You may be selected over the competition if something appears unique and desirable. But if the choice is challenging to understand, you may lose sales.
