Make Reports and Proposals Look Professional

Staples and paper clips are fine for holding together documents that you retain in your own office. But when you're trying to impress a business prospect, client or investor with the importance of a printed document you've prepared for them, the lowly staple just doesn't cut it. To make your reports, proposals, capabilities statements and business plan look important and authoritative, enclose them in some type of binder.

Among the most commonly used binding methods are velum binding, plastic or metal coil bindings, and loose-leaf binders. The best style to use depends on a number of factors such as the number of sheets of paper to be held together, the size of the document, the need to modify or change the document, and how it will be read or displayed. If the proposal is in response to a Request for Proposal (RFP), any binding requirements described in the RFP should be followed exactly.

Most of the big office supply stores have on-site printing centers that will bind your documents for you. (They'll print them, too, for a fee.) But don't wait until the last minute to have the binding and printing done. If there are other customers ahead of you, it may take several hours before your job is ready.
