Wire-o Binding

Spiral Binding: Wire Bound Book Printing

Looking for a versatile, practical and professional binding solution? Our spiral binding service is the ideal choice for a wide range of publications — from sales catalogues and training manuals to notebooks, planners and presentation documents. Thanks to its distinctive 360° opening, wire binding allows your publication to lie perfectly flat without creasing or damaging the spine, making it incredibly easy to browse, write on and share.

At Pixartprinting, we offer professional wire bound printing from as little as a single copy, with free delivery on every order. Whether you need a short run of bespoke spiral bound books for an internal team or a larger batch for a client presentation or trade event, our website makes it easy to configure, price and order exactly what you need — in just a few clicks.

Spiral Bound Book Printing in Any Format You Need

One of the key advantages of our wire bound printing service is the flexibility it offers in terms of format. Choose from a range of standard sizes or enter your own custom dimensions to create a spiral bound book that fits your project perfectly. Standard formats available include:

• A3 (29.7 x 42 cm)
• A4 (21 x 29.7 cm)
• A5 (14.8 x 21 cm)
• A6 (10.5 x 14.8 cm)
• 15 x 42 cm

Both portrait and landscape printing orientations are supported, giving you even greater creative freedom. When calculating the total number of pages for your wire bound book, remember to include the 4 pages that make up the cover (front, back, inside front and inside back), and ensure the total page count is a multiple of 2. We recommend downloading our Template and Instructions to help you set up your print-ready file correctly.

Choose Your Wire Binding Position

Our spiral binding service gives you control over where the wire is positioned, so you can tailor the format to how your publication will be used:

• Left wire-o bound — the classic option, ideal for documents and books read in the traditional left-to-right format.
• Top wire-o bound (double pages in reading order) — perfect for flip-style presentations, calendars and notepads.
• Top wire-o bound (single pages in reading order) — suited to publications where each page is viewed individually, such as wall planners or display books.

The wire is available in two colours — silver and black — so you can choose the finish that best complements your design and brand aesthetic.

Paper Types for Your Spiral Bound Printing

The quality of your paper stock is just as important as the binding itself. That's why our wire bound printing service offers a wide selection of premium papers to suit every type of publication and design style:

• Classic Demimatt — a durable, wood-free matt coated paper that enhances photographic detail and produces clear, crisp text. A reliable all-rounder for most spiral bound book projects.
• Classic Gloss — a bright, silky gloss coated paper that delivers rich, full colours and sharp images with a long-lasting finish.
• Classic Uncoated — a natural, brilliant white uncoated paper, particularly well suited for text-heavy publications, manuals and notebooks.
• Extraprint — a smooth, velvety uncoated stock with a high white point, delivering excellent colour reproduction for brochures, catalogues and brand materials.
• Rembrandt — a laid, stipple-textured paper that adds elegance and tactile interest, ideal for premium or unusual publications.
• Underwood (Woodstock Birch) — an ivory-toned, natural-feel paper with a recycled aesthetic, perfect for eco-conscious brands and sophisticated designs.
• Ice White — a high-white, linen-finish embossed paper that produces high-impact results across a wide range of applications.
• Recycled — made from 100% recycled fibres, this environmentally friendly stock is perfect for brands with sustainability at their core.
• Turner — a luxury felt-marked paper with an 'orange peel' texture, particularly suited to exclusive invitations and high-end publications.

Lamination and Special Finishes for Wire Bound Books

Take your spiral bound book printing to the next level with our range of cover lamination and special finishing options. Lamination not only enhances the look and feel of your publication but also protects the cover from everyday wear and tear. Choose from:

• Matt lamination — a subtle, non-reflective finish that gives your cover a refined, understated look.
• Gloss lamination — a high-shine coating that makes colours pop and gives your wire bound book a polished, professional appearance.
• Soft-touch lamination — a velvety, tactile finish that feels as impressive as it looks, ideal for premium publications.

For an extra touch of exclusivity, our special finishes let you add real depth and dimension to your cover design. Options include 3D varnish for a raised, tactile effect, gold foil for a warm, luxurious shimmer, and silver foil for a sleek, contemporary metallic finish.
