Padding · questions

What people ask first.

What moves the price

01Quantity: makeready is the same for 500 books or 50,000, so unit cost falls fast with volume
02Page count: every 4 pages adds a sheet to gather, and heavy books need more pockets
03Cover stock: heavy or coated covers are scored first so the spine doesn't crack
04Extras: inserts, loop stitches or a tipped-on card

General factors for stitch work. Your estimator prices the actual job after review.

Loop stitching

Corner stitching

Flat sets held together with one wire stitch through the corner: reports, price lists, handouts and meeting packets that stay loose-leaf, with no fold and no page-count rule.
