Thesis printing & binding Chicago

A thesis is a fairly significant final paper in the grand scheme of things, and as if you have enough to worry about, you’re probably worried whether it will impress your examiner in its finished form.

Leather book binding from the online Chicago printing store ranks up there when it comes to thesis printing. However, thermal binding is also rather impressive. Leather book binding looks professional, plus, if you choose various embossing options, it can be the most professional of the different printing and binding options.

If you choose for thesis binding the online printing store for your leather book binding, note that the standard binding is springback binding; this process binds the thesis to just the front and back covers, possibly making your paper less durable.

A sleeker and cheaper option is thermal binding. Should this be your preference, use a transparent cover so readers can see your cover page. Obviously, there is a plethora of options for printing and binding your thesis with the online Chicago printing service.

We recommend: Leather book binding or thermal binding

Leather book binding

The recommendation made most often by BachelorPrint’s Chicago printing shop is premium leather book binding. Its appeal lies in how professional it looks, making it the binding of choice for dissertations and other final papers.

There are two types of leather book bindings, premium and standard, both appropriate for your final paper in terms of quality; it’s totally up to you.

Compared to standard leather book binding, the finish used in premium leather book binding looks more elegant because of its matte finish. Standard leather book binding is glossier, making colors seem brighter.

For both types of leather binding, the Chicago printing shop offers upgrades like embossing the front cover and spine, ribbon bookmarks or corner protectors; both available in a range of colors.

Leather book binding’s sturdiness and elegance will transform your final paper into a veritable showpiece, making a good impression for years to come.

Comb Binding

The online Chicago printing store also offers spiral binding. Spiral binding, also known as comb binding, has a very basic design and doesn’t put a dent in your budget. Comb binding has a capacity of up to 300 pages, making it a great binding for shorter essays and research papers.

The online Chicago printing shop offers metal spiral binding or comb binding. A transparent front page displays your title page; choose from 7 colors for the back cover of your spiral binding.

The technology to produce comb binding and spiral binding is fairly basic but requires precision: holes are punched through all the pages and then the metal or plastic spiral is inserted through the holes. Inexpensive and convenient, spiral binding is the route to go when you need to order several copies of your academic work.

We recommend: Comb binding and spiral binding for smaller assignments, papers and essays.
