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.
