Binding options
The right binding makes all the difference.
Spiral is our most popular option for student diaries — it's robust and stands up brilliantly to daily student use. But we offer four binding types to suit different needs and budgets.
Robust and practical. Opens completely flat. Stands up to student wear and tear year-round. The go-to choice for most schools.
Clean professional finish. Lies flat when open. Slightly more refined than standard spiral — suits senior students and staff.
Stapled through the spine. Cost-effective for smaller diaries or supplementary booklets. Best for shorter page counts.
Hardcover, premium feel. Section sewn for long-lasting durability. Ideal for schools wanting a prestigious, lasting diary.
