Which binding works on the work floor?
For manual printing, usability matters most. A wire-o binding lies completely flat, so the book stays open beside you while you follow an instruction. For a manual that is updated regularly, a ring binder is practical: you replace individual pages without reprinting the whole book.
If the manual is mainly a reference kept on a shelf, a perfect or sewn binding is neater and sturdier over the long term.
Paper, format and durability
Is the manual used intensively? Then choose paper of at least 100 gsm and a cover with matt lamination. It withstands dirty hands and lasts longer. For a manual that is mainly consulted, 80 to 90 gsm is enough.
A4 is the standard for work instructions with diagrams and tables. A5 works better for a compact manual people carry with them, for example on site or in the field.
Supplying your file
Supply your file as a print-ready PDF with embedded fonts. Check that chapters, page numbers and cross-references line up, because in a reference work a working table of contents is essential. Keep a generous inner margin, especially on a thick manual. Not sure about your file? We are happy to check it with you at no charge.
For businesses, training and organisations
Businesses print manuals for onboarding programmes, quality systems or safety instructions. Because we print from a single copy, you can order a proof and have it reviewed before ordering a run for the whole team. For documents that change often, small digital runs are more economical than a large stock that quickly goes out of date. For standards and guidelines, see ISO.
Frequently asked questions about manual printing
Can I order a single copy?
Yes. Handy for having a proof reviewed before ordering a run for the whole team.
Which binding lies flat?
Wire-o lies completely flat, which is convenient when you use the manual while carrying out a task.
Can I update the manual later?
Yes. For a revised version you simply reprint. For documents that change often, a ring binder with replaceable pages is practical.
How long does it take?
Once your file is approved, we print and dispatch within 5 to 7 working days.
