What did it cost to have your catty spiral bound?

[scrapbookmommy]

I just had mine done at Office Depot and it was $6.82 after they took 15% off for filling out some Office Depot shopper card. I had it spiral bound and the front and back laminated. I tried Staples but they had to send it out to do the spiral binding. I know a lot of people have said theirs cost under $5. I was just wondering if I had paid more than everybody else was having to. Don't get me wrong I'm so glad I did it and I will now do every catalog each year. I was just wondering.

I went to Office Depot and paid about $6 - $6.50. I had the front and back laminated with 7mm laminate, spiral bound, and had them add in pockets and clear dividers with tabs (I had already purchased both of those items). I think $6-7 is pretty average... maybe the lower priced ones had the comb binding and not the spiral binding? Also, they charge less for the thinner laminate, so that might have been it.

There are a few threads from last year regarding spiral binding prices, etc, if you search for them.

I had mine spiral bound and I had the front and back cover laminated at A&E Graphics in Houston and it cost $14.70. I just love it!

WOW! I don't know what Office Depot you went to, but I went yesterday and had mine done with rubicoil and also had the covers laminated, the cost was $3.36. I guess I got a bargain.

Do they take it apart for you? I hope that doesn't sound dumb. It had never occurred to me to do it. Thanks.

I also went to office depot and paid $4.97 to have the front and back laminated and then spiral bound.

I had mine done this morning at Staples for less than $5. They told me that they would have to send it out for one particular kind of coil binding (rubicoil?) but they had other types of binding that they did on site in 5 minutes! They put a clear cover on the front and a white cover on the back. Very nicely done!

Yes, they have a machine that cuts off a the spine part of the catalog and then they bind it.

I went to my local print/copy shop, had it spiral bound, clear front cover and added a folder and paper for $3.80 (including tax). Oh, and he did a superb job!

Ours were about $7.00 each...

I usually take mine to Kinko's, and I usually pay about $7. Sounds right in line to me.

I paid $2.15 to have the holes punched and the coil put on at office depot

I had mine done at Office Max with a clear cover on the front and back. The cost was a little bit over $6.

I paid 10.23 with tax for a front and back lamination of the cover and a pretty clear coil. LOL

They inserted the very last page upside down but I forgave them because originally they were going to have to use a black coil but they used a clear one that is much prettier.
