Document Binding and Laminating in LaPlace, LA
Reports, Manuals, and Menus, Finished at the Counter
A stack of loose pages does not always survive a meeting. We bind it into something that opens flat and stays in order. Pages that need to live on a wall, in a truck, or on a job site can be laminated so they do not fall apart.
What Binding Costs
- $6 for up to 50 sheets
- $9 for 51 to 125 sheets
- $12 for 126 to 250 sheets
- Add $2 for a clear front cover and a hard back cover
Printing is charged separately at our page rates: 25 cents per page in black and white, 30 cents per page for legal-size black and white, and 69 cents per page in color.
What Laminating Costs
- Starting at $3 for badges and business cards
- $4 to $5 for standard document sizes, letter and legal
- Starting at $15 for anything larger than legal size, which is 8.5 by 14 inches
Oversized pieces go on the 24-inch laminator. That machine takes about fifteen minutes to come up to temperature and runs on a wide roll of film, so one large piece requires the warm-up and a length of that film, whether we laminate one or six pieces.
Bring your large pieces in together and we can run them back-to-back on a single heat-up.
What the Binding Looks Like
The pages are punched along the edge and held together by a plastic spine, so the document opens flat on a desk and the pages turn all the way around without tearing out. It is the type of finish you have seen on training manuals, church programs, recipe collections, and restaurant menus.
Thick Documents
The price list goes up to 250 sheets. If your document is thicker than that, ask at the counter, and we will tell you what it takes before we start punching.
What to Bring
- The document, either on paper or as a file emailed to alliedexpresslaplace@gmail.com, and we can print it here
- The page count if you are calling ahead, because that is what sets the binding price
How Long It Takes
One report can be bound at the counter while you wait. For a stack of them, ask us when you drop them off, and we will give you an estimated completion time.
Do I Need an Appointment?
No. Walk in during store hours, Monday through Friday from 9 to 6 and Saturday from 9 to 1.
What People Laminate
Menus, price lists, instruction sheets that live in a truck, signs for a job site, seating charts, and anything that gets handled every day and would otherwise become soft around the corners within a month.
While You Are Here
Most binding jobs start as a print job. See our copying and printing services, or send the file ahead and pick up the finished copies already bound.
Binding and Laminating Questions
Where Can I Get a Document Bound Near Me?
At the counter at 1420 W Airline Hwy in LaPlace, Louisiana. We can bind a single report while you wait. Bring the pages, or email the file to alliedexpresslaplace@gmail.com, and pick up the finished document.
How Much Does Binding Cost?
It goes by sheet count: $6 for up to 50 sheets, $9 for 51 to 125, $12 for 126 to 250. A clear front cover and a hard back cover add $2. Printing is charged separately.
Can You Laminate Something Large, Like a Sign or a Poster?
Yes, up to 24 inches wide. Anything larger than legal size goes on the wide laminator and starts at $15, because that machine needs about fifteen minutes to warm up and uses a length of wide film even for a single piece. Letter and legal sizes are $4 to $5, and badges and business cards start at $3.
Do You Print the Document as Well, or Only Bind It?
Both. Most binding jobs start as a print job. Black and white printing is 25 cents per page, legal-size black and white is 30 cents per page, and color printing is 69 cents per page. The binding is added at the end.
