One, two and three color offset printing -
Including Carbonless forms, special order stationary, pocket folders, brochures, posters, labels, hang tags, imprinted letters on letterhead and programs.

This includes all standard stationary (business cards, letterhead, invitations, pocket folders, various size envelopes, mailing labels and notepads.) Standard items are those that use the University seal in preformatted templates.

Book Binding – We offer a wide variety options to bind books.
Saddle stitching is a process of stapling sheets together where they fold at the spine, as compared to side stitch. Also called pamphlet stitch, saddle wire and stitch bind.

Side stitching – Is used when the bulk of a book is too great for saddle stitching. Staples are inserted about a ¼ of an inch along the left side of a book. If saddle stitching a book it is important to remember this and allow sufficient margins.

Spiral Binding - Uses plastic spirals or GBC combs placed on the left side of the book. The spirals come in a wide variety of color. An excellent choice for books that need to be opened flat.

Folding – Printing services offers a wide variety of folding options from letter fold to half fold and accordion folds.

Numbering – Consequtive numbering used primarily on tickets and forms.

Die Cutting – the process of cutting special shapes from printed sheets

Scoring – To indent a sheet of paper. Used to make folding easier particularly on
Heavy weight paper. For example, as a general rule invitations are scored so in order to give the user the ability to write, type or print with an office laser printing then easily fold. inside of an invitation.

Perforating – The process is very similar to scoring but rather that create a straight edge for folding it produces a series of dashed slits to make tearing easier.

Shrinkwrapping -  A form of packaging that uses heated plastic wrap to package printed products.
