Coil Binding/Lay-Flat Alternatives
The Snowfall Print Network does not offer lay-flat binding as an option nor does it offer coil binding in small run sizes. As an alternative, we urge customers to consider using thin paper to achieve some of the same effect for perfect-bound workbooks and books. Many customers seeking these binding types have found the thin paper option to their liking. We urge any customer that is considering this option to print a physical proof to check whether this is an acceptable solution.
