Document Finishing Services in Holladay, UT
The Difference Between a Stack of Copies and a Professional Presentation
Printing is only half the job. The way your document is bound, finished, and presented says as much about your professionalism as the content itself. Document finishing services are the after-print steps that transform a stack of pages into a polished, professional presentation — and Ship Utah does all of them in-house. Whether it's a simple bind and cover for a client proposal or a complex multi-set collated and laminated presentation, bring it to us and we'll give it that professional finish.
Binding Options — Which Is Right for Your Document?
- Comb Binding — a plastic comb spine is inserted through rectangular punched holes along the edge of your document. Pages lie flat when open and the document can be opened and closed repeatedly. The most popular binding style for reports, manuals, and training materials. Available in multiple spine sizes to accommodate different page counts.
- Coil / Spiral Binding — a continuous coil is threaded through round punched holes along the edge. Pages lay completely flat and can rotate 360 degrees. More durable than comb binding and ideal for documents that are frequently referenced, field guides, and cookbooks.
- Tape Binding — a professional cloth or vinyl tape is applied to the spine of your document, creating a book-like appearance. Clean, professional, and durable — ideal for client-facing documents, proposals, and presentations where appearance matters most.
- Saddle Stitching — two or more staples through the fold of a multi-page booklet. The standard binding for magazines, event programs, and short booklets.
- Perfect Binding — a flat, square spine created with a glued binding. The binding style used for paperback books and professional catalogs. Ask us about availability for longer documents.
Laminating Services
Lamination protects your documents from moisture, fingerprints, tearing, and daily wear. Ship Utah offers:
- Gloss lamination — adds a bright, reflective surface that enhances color and makes your document feel premium. Best for menus, ID cards, signs, and marketing materials.
- Matte lamination — a smooth, non-reflective finish that reduces glare and gives documents a sophisticated, professional appearance. Ideal for certificates, presentation covers, and reference materials.
- Standard document sizes — letter, legal, and ledger size lamination
- Custom sizes — odd-sized documents, signs, and specialty items
- Pouch laminating — individual document lamination for certificates, ID cards, menus, and important documents
