Please note when completing binding tickets, these fields are mandatory:

• Name and Address Title (including Vol., Issue, Date, and any other info to be printed on spine)

• New Title/Previously Bound by Houchen/Previously Bound by Other (please mark one)

 Optional Fields are:

• Special Instructions for Houchen (if any)
• Collation Use Fields (highly discouraged as these entail additional charges)

When our bindery produces an order for any customer with periodicals, we return with the order pre-printed binding slips (example below). The customer keeps these filed. When submitting another volume of the title for binding in the future, the appropriate ticket is pulled from the file, and the variable information for the new volume is added. The ticket is attached to the book block bundle and boxed for shipment. Each volume has a unique ticket even if they are all of the same title. These tickets provide all the necessary information for our bindery to produce new bindings that will match the previous ones, and that will allow us to continue to match them in the future.
