Many employees have several manuals on their desk. The cover and spine marking should quickly distinguish the content of each manual. At Home Depot, cover designs and color-coded spine markings distinguish one type of manual from another. Choose a binding method that's durable and convenient. Many companies are switching from three-ring binders to spiral binding for smaller booklets.
Participants say that the spiral-bound books are lighter and easier to use.
For large manuals, binders remain the favorite choice because they are long-lasting. Make sure your supplier can accommodate last-minute changes. Digital printing systems let presenters make changes to materials up to a day or hours before a class is held. Allowing a week for production is no longer necessary. Successful trainers use the capabilities of modern digital printing systems to improve the content and appearance of training materials.
