Has anyone had anything spiral-bound at Staples recently?


Recommended Posts

Were you satisfied?

 

How many pages were spiral-bound?

 

Did they attach the hard plastic front and back?

 

How much were you charged? I'm particularly interested in this because if we do this, it will be for ~20 students.

 

Please list any other specifics (like if you had them copy the material, or if you supplied the copies) or comments.

 

Thanks!

Many times they will run a special if you send the files through the online site for Staples Copy Center. I used the Staples Copy Center online to send my files last week and I got 25% off.

 

I coil-bounded an embroidery pattern that I bought. It was a downloaded pattern, so I needed nice printouts. I picked heavier paper with two vinyl covers. It was about $15 for 24 pages. You can get clear covers if you wish.

Absolutely. I love Staples. :D

The last things I had spiral bound were the SOTW, Volume 3. So the book has around 220 (two sided) pages and the activity book had around 120 (two sided) pages.

Hmmm, they put a clear plastic 'cover' on the front/back of the activity book, but it's not hard plastic. You have to ask for any type of cover to be added - they have samples on-site of what they have to offer.

Whooo, boy - now that I cannot remember. It was maybe around $3 per book? Hmmmm, I honestly don't recall. You might be able to go to their website and find prices there. Or call them and they could give you the price even faster. :)

I've done both. I've had regular books bound there (they break the spines and spiral bind them) and I've had copies made and had those spiral bound. They can do most of the spiral binding on-site now (they used to send it off, unless you wanted the thinner, wire-type spiral binding), so it's very convenient.

 

Thanks!
