Empowering Design with AI — Getting Print-Ready with Canva

The rise of AI-powered design tools like Canva has revolutionised the way individuals and businesses create visual content. These platforms empower users to become their own designers, offering intuitive interfaces and smart features that make creativity more accessible than ever.

However, when it comes to professional printing, great design is only part of the equation. To ensure your final product looks as good on paper as it does on screen, your files need to be exported and set up correctly. Without proper formatting, you risk unexpected issues like blurry images, incorrect colors, or misaligned elements.

To help you make the most of these powerful tools while avoiding common pitfalls, we’ve put together our expert recommendations for exporting your Canva files. Follow these guidelines to ensure your designs are print-ready and deliver the quality you expect.

Popular Binding Methods

Here are a few of our most popular methods:

1. Saddle Stitched (wire stapled):
An economical method of stapling books up to 80 pages (approx). We can also do Saddle Loop stitched which allows books to be inserted into ring binders without the need for drilling holes through the book.

2. Wire Binding and Plastic Comb Binding:
Ideal for manuals, reports, recipe books etc, that need to lie flat when opened. Suitable for publications that exceed the standard thickness of stapled books.

3. PUR Binding:
A professional finish to any publication. PUR glued spine is superior to standard hot melt glue as the durable glue stays flexible and does not become brittle over time. Ideal for Annual reports, Novels, Books, Prospectuses, etc)
