Types of Binding

You need to make sure that you have your dissertation or thesis printed and bound according to the criteria set by your university. Are you a bit confused by the types of binding? We have listed a brief description for each type to help you get your head around dissertation binding and thesis binding:

• Comb and Wire Bound: A comb-bound dissertation uses a plastic comb spine, which can accommodate hole punched papers. A PVC board then covers the front, and a firm board is placed at the back, which creates a firmly supported dissertation or thesis.

• Coil Bound: This type of dissertation binding uses a spring-like coil to bind the papers. The papers lie flat, and the final document is easy to read.

• Fastback: This type of dissertation binding will bind your whole document with a glued spine and a soft cover, quite like a paperback book.

• Hardback: This is the most popular form of dissertation binding or thesis binding. It is sewn and glued with solid boards for the highest standard of finish.
