Is this you?
Why print a course that runs online?
A course can live online and still need paper. A workbook gets written in. A glossary stays on the desk or in the pocket while the work is done. A client that buys your program for its staff may want something to hand out on day one. And in a classroom course, the manual is part of what the participant pays for.
We print the pieces your program needs, matched to one specification.
What we print
The usual binding for each piece, and why.
| Piece | Typical binding | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Participant workbooks | Coil or wire-o | Lies flat for writing in |
| Instructor and trainer manuals | 3-hole drilled | Fits a binder, pages can be updated |
| Glossaries | Perfect bound or saddle stitched | Bilingual and multilingual layouts |
| Study guides and exam prep | Perfect bound | Printed spine for the shelf |
| Certificates and inserts | Loose or bound in | Part of the course kit |
| Matched kits | Mixed | Workbook, glossary and guide on one specification |

Yes. If your trainers teach in different cities, or your clients run your program on site, send the list of locations and the count for each. Routing is planned before printing, and every carton is labeled for the class it belongs to.
When your content changes
Courses get updated. Your approved specification stays on file, so a revised edition prints on the same paper and binding as the last. Change the files, keep the format.
