Available options include:
- Saddle stitching
- PUR perfect binding
- Section-sewn paperbacks
- Section-sewn hardcovers
- French flaps
- Cloth and printed cases
- Fold-outs and gatefolds

We can recommend practical options based on the content, quantity, use and delivery date.

Paper, folding style and protective finishes can be selected according to how the item will be displayed, distributed and handled.
Working with Internal Teams and Design Agencies
Council and cultural projects often involve several stakeholders, including communications teams, project officers, designers, curators and procurement staff.
We can work directly with the organisation or through its appointed design agency.
Support may include:
- Preliminary pricing
- Specification review
- Paper and binding recommendations
- Artwork requirements
- Proofing
- Production scheduling
- Freight planning
- Delivery to multiple locations
Where a project is introduced by a design agency, we can work confidentially and will not approach its client independently.
