BINDERY, HAND-WORK & FINISHING OPTIONS
Our Bindery & finishing departments are the final stop for your project before it heads to you. Here we’ll take things to the next level to give you the custom one-of-a-kind look and feel that will make your project stand out.
Lamination & Coatings
Lamination and Coatings are a great way to protect your project while offering an additional tactile impact. We can UV coat gloss or matte, and have numerous options for lamination including: matte, gloss, soft touch, dry erase, uv shield, and anti slip.
Booklets & Binding
One of our most commonly requested products is booklets – saddle stitched, coil, wiro, perfect binding, or just a good old-fashioned binder – we can accommodate your needs. Regardless of whether you need a single binder, or hundreds of saddle stitched brochures we’ve got you covered.
Die Cutting
We can die cut everything from Pocket Folders and Door hangers, to custom packaging, stickers and more!
Folding
We have a few 'standard' folds, but one of the benefits of working with us is the ability to customize. We can set up folds in any location based on your request and artwork.
Kitting
Kitting involves taking individual components and combining them into a larger kit for shipment. An example of this would be a New Store Opening Kit that includes several different print materials such as menus, window clings, store signage, and uniforms.
Other Finishing Touches
Other Finishing Techniques including: Drill & Punching, Reinforcing, Round Cornering, Shrink Wrapping, Banding, Padding & Chipboard, Assembly, Wafer Seals, Perforating, and so much more.

Choosing The Best Binding For Your Project
Saddle Stitch
Held together with staples along the fold. This is a common choice because of how cost-effective and quick they are to print. Saddle Stitching is possible with most paper stocks, and at most sizes.
Square Back Saddle Stitch
Held together with staples along the fold. This is a cost effective choice when you have more pages than a typical saddle stitch can accommodate. Square back Saddle stitch also has lay-flat capabilities.
Wiro - Metal
Wiro binding is similar in appearance to coil-binding. It lays flat on any page and is super durable. The major difference between the two is their appearance. Wiro has a bit more of a classic look than coil binding and can look a bit more high-end. When choosing between the two, it’s really up to preference.
Coil - Plastic
A plastic coil holds together the pages of your coil-bound book. One of the major benefits of coil binding is that the finished product will lay flat on any page. You can also use tabs to further organize your book.
Three ring binders
For documents that are subject to change, nothing beats a three-ring binder. They are durable, you can use tabs, and it’s super easy to add and remove pages. Indexx can customize your binder with printed tabs, and custom covers and spines with your company’s branding to take you to the next level.
Perfect Binding with PUR Glue
Our perfect bound books are held together with PUR glue. This durable binding provides the most professional look, which is commonly used for paperback books and magazines. We can print on the spine of perfect bound books, which will allow you to identify them when they are side by side on a bookshelf.
Tips & More
-
If you are creating a workbook or something that needs to be written in, opt for a binding type that lays flat and a paper with an uncoated finish.
-
If you’re creating something that’s for one time use only, you can pick something that’s cheaper and less durable.
-
If your document needs to be updated frequently, pick something easy to add and remove pages from.
-
Saddle stitch booklets are professional and cost-effective, but the page count must always be divisible by 4.
-
PUR Perfect binding is the most durable and professional, and is the best option for high-impact presentation books.
