Finishing and Binding

To add a polished look to your print and copy projects, MIT Copytech offers a full-service bindery with folding, stapling, and trimming. We also provide document assembly for seminars, conferences, and symposiums.

Binding choices include GBC plastic comb, spiral plastic coil, and Fastback adhesive tape in a number of colors. Hard-cover book binding is available for thesis copies.

MIT Copytech has high-speed folders with trimming, slitting, and scoring. We also offer heavy-duty stapling.

Finished orders can be forwarded to MIT Mail Services for distribution across campus and for outside mailing.

Three bound booklets show examples of plastic comb binding, spiral plastic coil, and adhesive tape binding.
