* Proofing

Printing Services reserves the right to require a proof approval, regardless of your selection, based on your order.

Proofing

A proof is a preliminary version of a printed piece. It provides a close representation of how the piece will appear when printed. Proofs are created to ensure that the client and printer are in complete agreement on the desired outcome before going to press. Proofs can be viewed in person at Printing Services, mailed or emailed as a PDF.

If you choose not to proof your order, Printing Services will not be held liable for mistakes in the final product.

Finishing Options

Folding

A procedure that bends over a printed piece so that it lies flat upon itself. Folding serves many functions, one of which is to reduce the physical size of a printed piece. This allows the piece to fit into something else â€“ like an envelope, packaging, or display rack. A smaller size can also make certain printed items easier to handle and/or distribute. Folding is also commonly used as a design technique to create separate panels from a single sheet, such as for a brochure or invitation.

Binding / Stapling

Binding is a broad term used to describe the gathering and fastening together of separate sheets or signatures. Binding can be as simple as placing a single staple through the corner of a set of documents. However, binding usually refers to the creation of durable books and booklets. Examples of popular binding methods include perfect binding, saddle-stitching, spiral/coil binding, as well as the insertion of components into a ringed binder.

Drilling / Punching

Drilling / Punching is a process where three holes are drilled along the edge for a 3-ring binder. 2-hole drilling and single-hole (calendar) drilling is also available.

Hole size options include standard 1/4â€, Large 3/8â€ and calendar 3/16â€. Standard 1/4â€ holes will be used except when size is specified in additional Instructions.

Lamination

Lamination is the process of bonding a plastic film onto printed matter. Lamination improves durability and protects against stains, smudges, moisture, wrinkles, and tears. It is a popular choice for printed items that must endure heavy use and/or outdoor elements. This can apply to both small and large format-printing.

Encapsulated/Sealed Edge- using a layer of lamination film on both sides of a printed piece, where the film is extended beyond the edge of the printed piece by 1/8â€ to 1/2â€ so that the top and bottom sheets of laminate bond to each other around the perimeter of the printed piece. This ensures fluids and dirt never contact the edge of the printed paper substrate.
Flush Trimmed lamination is used for printed pieces that will not be subject to moisture or excessive dirt or whenever the desired aesthetics warrant a flush edge. Example: interior pages of a book / binder, menus.
