Frequently Asked Questions
What margins are required for binding?
We prefer 3cm on the binding edge for sewing and 2cm on the 3 other edges. If you have used Word to produce your work then standard margins will be acceptable. Ensure that fold-outs and diagrams produced have reasonable margins and that page numbers, headers and footers are away from the edge.
I would like my thesis to look as impressive as possible for submission. Which form of binding do you suggest?
Hard binding with headbands looks best. A page marker ribbon is ideal for examiner's copy. Please ask to view a sample when you come in.
