Professional Printing Options
How you fold and bind your zine pages really does matter. We understand that folding and binding are part of the overall statement that you expect your zines to make. Impactica offers you staple (comic book style binding), called saddle stitch binding, and magazine style binding (called perfect binding). Either option will keep your zine pages bound and help establish the look and fee that you want. Choose the staple option (saddle stitch) for a true comic book binding finish. For more manga style, finished look, consider the magazine style option (perfect binding). Keep in mind that the comic book style is the most popular choice for zine printing in Canada. Saddle stitch binding (comic book style) zine printing results in easier page turning and allows your zines to lay flay, while open.
