Create Your Wire-O
Here you may select the desired type of binding for your calendars.
The ring binding, also called spiral or wire-O bond, is a classic and popular book binding method which is used for presentations in particular. With a metal wire, a twin spiral is formed, which runs through previously perforated sheets of paper. This is a cheap but also stable binding type. Depending on the book thickness or number of sheets, different spiral diameters are used. This enables the best possible turning over of your printed information.
Size is measured in inches (except for Banners).
Your artwork must be submitted in this size plus bleed. For more information please go to Bleed & Safe Area.
If your product includes folding, this is the size before folding.
Catalogs/Magazines and Calendars are not considered folded products. Their size refers to one page.
For catalogs and saddle stitched calendars, pages are available in multiples of 4 because sheets are folded over and bound in the middle, resulting in 4 pages per sheet.
For wire-o calendars, 13 or 14 pages are available.
One way or another, please always set up your print files as single pages and send them in multi-page PDFs.

Tips: How to Get the Most Out of Wire-O Catalogs
Maximizing Wire-O's Unique Design Features
- Incorporate interactivity. Take advantage of the flexibility of wire-o binding to add interactive elements, such as fold-out pages, attached samples or space for notes. Interactive elements increase viewer engagement and make your catalog more memorable.
- Not all covers are created equal. The content of a wire-o-bound catalog often remains relevant for a longer period. So be sure to adjust your production options accordingly and consider using protective covers or flaps. They’ll make navigation easier and extend the lifespan of your catalog.
Creating Compelling Content & Visual Impact
- A consistent look, page by page. Maintain visual harmony throughout the catalog with a structured page layout, consistent design elements, and clear, easy-to-read typography.
- Clear structure and concise presentation. Organize the content into a logical flow using clear navigation and consistent section breaks.
- Pictures speak louder than words. Use high-quality images, graphics and charts in your Wire-o catalog to make it more appealing. Visual elements can showcase your products and highlight key points. They create an immersive experience for your readers.
- Less is more. Avoid overloading the pages and cramming too much content in. Leave enough white space to optimize readability and visual appeal, and be sure to use a legible font and size.
