A3 Wiro Bound Booklets Printing in Croydon, South London and Across the UK

A3 wiro bound booklets are bold, professional, practical, and hard to beat. Their large format gives you tons of space to work with. And with wire binding, your booklets open flat, making them user-friendly and long-lasting. Sometimes, you just need space, and that's exactly what A3 wiro bound booklets give you. If you're laying out wide product shots, big training diagrams, or simply need a clean, easy-to-read format for presentations or portfolios, A3 spiral binding gets the job done without fuss. Flat-lay finish, no spine cracking, and pages that turn smoothly.

At I You Print, we've been printing A3 wire-bound booklets here in Croydon for years, for local businesses, design studios, schools, councils, and just about everyone in between. If you've got the files ready, or even just an idea in mind, we'll help you get your booklets sorted quickly and affordably.

Portrait or Landscape, Let's Get That Sorted

One of the first things we'll need to know is how you want the booklet to open. Do you want the wire along the long edge or the short one?

The Long edge means it flips upwards, like a wall calendar. This works well if your pages are in landscape and you've got wide pictures, charts, or anything that runs across the page.

The short edge is the usual way, it opens like a book, left to right. This option is better for portrait orientation and primarily text-based documents, such as manuals or reports.

If you're unsure, no stress. Just email us the file or pop in, we'll take a look and let you know which one fits better.

Stock Choices for Inner Pages

Not all paper feels the same and depending on what you're printing, the wrong choice can throw the whole thing off. That's why we keep a range of paper types in-house, so you can match the stock to your content, budget, and finish goals.

Inner Paper Options:

• 90 gsm Uncoated – Light and cost-effective. Good for large text-based documents, forms, or manuals.
• 115 gsm Silk – A touch more polished, with a smooth texture that still feels light.
• 120 gsm Uncoated – Slightly heavier, matte finish. Feels more “editorial” without the gloss.
• 130 gsm Gloss – Slick, shiny, and great for colour images or graphics that pop.
• 150 gsm Silk – Thicker, weightier feel. Looks professional but not over-the-top.
• 170 gsm Silk – Premium and substantial. Ideal for high-end presentation work.
• 170 gsm Uncoated – Same weight, but with a nice soft-touch, no-shine finish.

Covers That Do the Job

Your cover is your first impression. If it's flimsy or feels cheap, the whole booklet takes a hit. That's why we print A3 booklet covers on a heavyweight card, nothing less than 250 gsm.

Cover Stock Choices:

• 250 gsm Silk – Smooth and professional. Always a safe bet.
• 250 gsm Uncoated – Slightly rougher texture, more organic feel.
• 350 gsm Silk – The heavyweight option. Solid, classy, and durable.

You can keep it uncoated if you want a raw, tactile vibe, or layer it up with lamination (more on that below).

Protect Your Booklet with Lamination

If you want your cover to last, or if you just want to add some extra polish, lamination is the way to go. It changes the way the booklet feels in the hand and adds a layer of durability.

Lamination Options:

• None – Skip it for a natural, no-frills finish.
• Gloss Lamination – Single or Double Sided – Shiny, vibrant, and good for full-colour covers.
• Matt Lamination – Single or Double Sided – Smooth, soft look. Feels premium but not flashy.
• Soft Touch Lamination – Single or Double Sided – This one's got a velvet-like feel. Genuinely comfortable to hold. Looks high-end.

We typically only laminate the cover, not the inside pages. It keeps your costs down and your booklets simple to flick through.

How Many Pages Can You Fit?

We bind A3 wire books with anywhere from 20 to 400 pages (that's printed pages, not sheets). If your booklet is on the thicker side, no problem, wiro binding is great for chunky books because it keeps everything tight and secure.

Not sure how many pages you've got? Send over your file, we'll check it.

Quantity, From 25 to 2000 Copies

Even if you need a quick batch of 25 training booklets for a course next week or 1,000+ A3 product catalogues for a client rollout, we've got you covered. We've got the kit in-house to handle both short and bulk runs, quickly.

Popular order sizes:
