Yes. OEM projects can include custom exercise book layouts, covers, logos, inner pages, packing and other approved production details.
Saddle stitch uses staples through folded sections, while perfect bound uses adhesive at the spine and sewn binding joins folded sections with thread. Page count, opening behaviour and durability help determine the suitable route.
