Strawbridge offers three different types of bindings.
Soft Cover
Our saddle stitch binding type is the most economic and popular choice for yearbooks. The cover is card stock with a folded, stapled spine. We use 4 staples instead of the typical 3 for increased strength & durability. These books are limited to a 72-page maximum.
Perfect Bound
This binding type appeals to the economy of a soft cover book while providing a great look and capacity for more than 72 pages (20 pages minimum). The covers are card stock with a flat spine and glued-in pages.
Hard Cover
This binding type allows for the highest page capacity and is the most durable. The covers are 80 pt. binders board, wrapped in a printed cover design, with pages bound & glued into the spine. There is no limit on page count, though there is a 20-page minimum.
