Most everyone has atleast seen a printing product, like a booklet, that has saddle stitch, wire-o, or perfect binding. What you may not be as familiar with are Chicago screws.
Chicago screws are a non-permanent, albeit nearly impossible to remove, type of print binding. It's a machine scew that is fastened in a single corner allowing your pages to "fan out".
Because the pages of your booklet do not lay flat when opened, it is reserved for a very specific type of presentation.
An alternative to the Chicago screw are grommets. These are versatile metal rings also used for hanging Banners. As a binding for your brochure, it less cumbersome. It's somewhat unconventional and on the right printed piece it can be really eye catching.
Because grommets are flatter than a Chicago screw, the pages can flip open rather than fan out. It's useful for product like Calendars or other printed products that your end user is expected to hang.
