Finishing Services

Once your copy/print job is completed, let us add the professional finishing touches: cutting, drilling, folding, padding, saddle stitching, scoring, stapling, and tabs.

Cutting

We can cut your job to almost any custom finished size, up to 20" wide by machine, or larger widths by hand. (Cutting/trimming is included with the job cost for large format prints.)

Custom Cutting Pricing

Custom cutting up to 20" wide costs just $0.75 per cut, for your ENTIRE job (up to 500 sheets)!*

Custom Cutting Pricing Examples*:

8½" x 11" job cut down to half-letter size (5½" x 8½") = 1 cut = $0.75

8½" x 11" job cut down to quarter-letter size (4¼" x 5½") = 2 cuts = $1.50

8½" x 11" job cut into (2) 5" x 8" pieces, with full bleed = 8 cuts = $6.00

Drilling/Hole Punching

Custom drilling is available in several hole sizes. We can set the holes wherever they are needed on your job. Please call us at 937-431-1982 for pricing on custom drilling.

We can also 2-hole or 3-hole punch your materials. Again, please call us at 937-431-1982 for pricing on hole punching.

Folding

Folding will make your project easier to handle and and read. There are many folding choices, including:

Hand folding is also available for special projects. (See Scoring section below.)

For an additional fee, we can also add wafer seals to your folded pieces, to be mailed according to USPS regulations.

Prices for folding vary with each job depending on the paper type, number of sheets, and whether the item will be hand- or machine-folded. Folding prices are calculated per piece. Please call us at 937-431-1982 for a custom quote for folding services.

Padding

Turn your project into a notepad with custom padding! Padding costs $0.50 per pad. Please see our Notepads page for more information.

Saddle-Stitching

Saddle stitching adds a polished touch to transform your folded piece into a booklet! Booklets can be made using any paper size up to 11" x 17". Saddle-stitching is available for up to 15 sheets of paper (24#/50# or 24#/60#). Covers of heavier stock can also be added—either blank, 1-side printed or even 2-side printed.

Common sizes for saddle stitched booklets are:

Most booklets are printed with double-sided pages throughout and a 65# cardstock cover. Your booklet will be face trimmed for a cleaner look, making the outer page edges even after folding.

Saddle stitching costs just $0.50 per booklet (in addition to printing cost).*

Scoring

We offer hand scoring for greeting cards, tent cards, brochures, programs, and other pieces to be folded. Hand scoring is highly recommended for items printed on cardstock or cover stock, 65# or heavier. Scoring prevents the paper and ink from cracking when the piece is folded.

Scoring Pricing

Hand scoring costs $.10 per piece. Scored pieces will be given to you flat. Hand folding is available for an additional $.05 per piece.*

Stapling

Stapling is available in these styles: single upper left, dual left side, or saddle stitched (see above for saddle stitching information).

Tabs

Binder tabs can be standard stock or custom designed for your project. They come in banks of 3, 4, and 5 most commonly, but we can get special items if needed.

A few examples of our tab options.

Tab options include:

Custom tabs are a great addition for cookbooks, reference books, large manuals, training materials, and educational materials.

Pricing for tabs varies according to the options you choose. Please call us at 937-431-1982 for a quote on tabs.
