Wiro bound booklets are a practical choice for businesses, schools, and training organisations looking for a sturdy, long-lasting binding option. Unlike stitched or glued booklets, wiro binding allows the pages to turn easily and stay open flat—perfect for materials that require note-taking or regular reference.

Each booklet includes a 4-page cover and a minimum of 16 pages (cover + 12 inner pages). The page count must be a multiple of 2, and you can choose matching or heavier cover stock to suit your design.

These booklets are commonly used across industries including education, construction, healthcare, retail, and corporate training, making them a highly adaptable solution for informational, instructional, or promotional content.

Common Uses for Wiro Bound Booklets:

• Training manuals and workbooks

• Instruction guides

• University and school course materials

• Menus and price guides

• Staff handbooks

• Technical product documentation

• Reports and reference guides

Frequently Asked Questions

What is wiro binding?

Wiro binding uses a looped metal wire to securely hold pages together. It allows the booklet to lay completely flat and is ideal for documents that are frequently handled or written in.

What's the difference between a wiro booklet and a stapled booklet?

A stapled (saddle-stitched) booklet is bound with staples along the spine and has a thinner feel. A wiro booklet is bound with wire and allows the pages to turn 360°, making it better for manuals or workbooks.

What sizes are available?

We offer A4 (210 x 297mm) and A5 (148 x 210mm) in both portrait and landscape formats.

How many pages can I have?

You can have between 20 and 100 pages, including a 4-page cover. Pages must be supplied in multiples of 2.

Can I choose different paper for the cover?

Yes. You can select the same stock for inner pages and cover (self-cover) or opt for a thicker stock for a more durable finish.

Is lamination available?

No, we do not currently offer lamination, spot UV, or foiling on wiro bound booklets.

What are acetate covers?

An acetate cover is a clear plastic sheet added to the front (or front and back) of your booklet to protect it while keeping your cover design visible.

Do you offer colour and black-and-white printing?

Yes, we print in full colour or black and white, and double-sided printing is included as standard.

Can I collect my order?

Yes. We offer UK-wide delivery or you can collect from our factory in Burton upon Trent.

What if I need help with design?

We offer a professional design service at an additional cost. Or, you can upload your own print-ready artwork.
