Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chicago screw binding?
Chicago screw binding (also called screw post binding) holds pages together with metal posts and screws through pre-drilled holes. It gives a clean, premium finish and lets you open the binding to add, remove or reorder pages.
What is Chicago screw binding used for?
It suits documents that change over time or need a premium look: restaurant menus, fashion lookbooks, product catalogues, swatch books and architecture and design portfolios.
Can I add or change pages later?
Yes. Unscrew the posts, swap or add pages, and screw them back in. This is why Chicago screw binding is popular for menus and portfolios that are updated regularly.
How long does Chicago screw binding take?
Chicago screw binding usually takes about one week. Timing can vary with quantity, finishing and whether printing is included, so let us know your deadline when you request a quote.
