Whether you’re presenting a legal brief, a corporate report, or a training manual, this binding style delivers:

Maximum Security: Pages are locked in place—no loose sheets, no surprises.
Clean, Executive Look: Minimalist spine, flush edges, and a crisp finish.
High Capacity: Bind up to 550 sheets of content without compromising style.

Description

Velo binding is the go-to choice for documents that demand both durability and a polished finish. The process involves punching evenly spaced holes along the edge of your pages, inserting rigid plastic tines through the stack, and sealing them with a matching strip to lock everything in place.

The result? A clean, tamper-resistant spine that holds up to heavy use and high expectations.

Perfect for legal documents, corporate reports, manuals, and dissertations, velo binding offers a professional look that doesn’t compromise on function. It accommodates thick documents—up to 550 sheets—and lays flat when open, making it ideal for reference materials and presentations. If you need your work to stay intact, look sharp, and make a lasting impression, velo binding delivers.

Some important things to note regarding Velo Binding:

When preparing your document for Velo binding, it’s important to leave enough margin along the binding edge (usually the left side) to ensure none of your content gets lost in the spine. For Velo Binding, we would recommend a minimum of 25mm on the binding edge (mirrored if printed double-sided) and 5-10mm around all other edges.
