Wire Bound. Full Colour. Sizes Up to A4. A wire bound book is a great option for thicker books, and they can effectively "lay flat" on a table. This is perfect for creating spreads where artwork runs from one opposing page to the other (with the wire in between). This is a durable long term solution. Suitable for up to 150 pages / 75 sheets. Note that we decide the size (diameter) of the wire to suit the number of pages in your book. You can choose the colour - black, white or silver. Also known as "twin loop", "wire-o" or "wiro". Click the headings below for more info. Paper Stock The type of paper we will use for your portfolio. We always use a thicker stock for the front and back covers, and a thinner matching paper for the internal pages. We've selected the most popular premium options for reliable and impressive results every time. See our Paper Stocks page for more info. Number of Pages The number of pages in your book, not including the front or back cover. Each sheet of paper has 2 sides to it, and each side of the sheet is counted as a "page". Pages that have no printing on them still count. Quantity The number of copies you want of your portfolio. We can only print copies of the same file - no variations allowed. The file you attach here will be used for every copy of this item. If you have a different version you need printed, please add this to your cart as a separate item. Portfolio Size Got a custom size other than A4 (210mm x 297mm) or A3 (297mm x 420mm)? Simply select the A-series size that your entire print will fit within, and we will trim to your crop marks. For example, a portfolio 200mm x 305mm would require you to select an A3 (297mm x 420mm) size portfolio. If you want a square book, 297mm x 297mm is as large as we can go, and this would require an A3 product. Note: the wire will add some overall width to your portfolio (up to 20mm for thick books). Printed Proofs We highly recommend this option to everybody - think of it as insurance against errors in the finished product. It's the only way you'll get the chance to make changes to the original file you submit with your order. See our Printed Proofs page for more info. Translucent Pages Add translucent pages to your book. These additional sheets won't affect your "Number of Pages" page total. They can be printed with white ink, black ink, full colour, or remain blank. They are printed on one side only, so be sure to include blank pages in your PDF where necessary to maintain your page order. Foiled Covers Have your book covers Digital Foiled with a metallic gold, silver or copper. You must read our Digital Foil setup page before ordering this option, as there are a few things to keep in mind. Not available on "Heavy Textured Matte - Bright White" paper stock. Wire Colour The colour of the metal wire that binds the spine of the book together. Turnaround How quickly do you need this item completed? Standard is 5 business days.
