The binding session assumes your words are final. Arriving unprepared delays the workshop and stresses the spine when we must add loose inserts later.
Bring
- Completed interior pages in page order (no staples through the fold)
- A printed table of contents if your draft exceeds 40 pages
- Identification for office check-in
- Reading glasses if you use them—the binding stand is arm’s length
Do not bring
- Laptops for live editing—we bind what you print
- USB drives with wallet exports
- Guests who have not been briefed on your privacy preferences
Paper standards
If you print at home, use 24 lb bond minimum. Thermal fax paper degrades; we will ask you to recopy on archival stock before binding. We sell a preparation pack for ₩18,000 if you prefer our paper from the start.
Timing
Allow ninety minutes. Binding itself takes forty minutes; labeling, pouch fitting, and photography of the exterior (for your insurance inventory, not register contents) fill the remainder.
Reserve a binding session and note how many volumes you are bringing.
