These collated printing FAQs explain when to use collating, how slip sheeting works, recommendations for playing cards and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should I use collated printing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Collated printing is ideal for projects that contain sets of pages or pieces that need to be printed and grouped in a specific sequence. Common examples include marketing and informational packets, instruction manuals, flashcards, event and wedding table cards, custom playing cards, tarot and oracle cards, recipe cards, trivia cards and devotional decks.

Reverse collating means printing a project in backwards page order, with the last page first. To request reverse collating, upload your print-ready file with the pages in reverse order. This allows your digital proof to match the file you submitted. Learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/file-preparation\/print-ready-files\">Print-Ready Files<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should I add drill holes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drill holes make it easy to add collated sets to three-ring binders, making them useful for projects such as training manuals and marketing or informational packets. A single drill hole can also be used to attach flashcards to a binder ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you do slip sheeting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Slip sheeting places a blank sheet of paper between each collated set, making it easier to identify where one set ends and the next begins. You can request slip sheeting through a <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/pages\/custom-quote\">Custom Quote<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is each collated set stapled?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Collated sets can be stapled using the Corner Stapling dropdown on the product page. If you don&#8217;t select stapling, you can use shrink wrapping to bundle your sets. If you select neither option, your collated sets will be shipped unseparated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/scent_list.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=crop&h=683&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=1024&s=dc2d25c2af269eee5476f6cba798145a\" alt=\"Two custom flyers stapled together with the top flyer folded over and a scent list printed on the bottom flyer.\" class=\"wp-image-29841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/scent_list.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=683&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.1&amp;w=1024&amp;s=dc2d25c2af269eee5476f6cba798145a 1024w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/scent_list.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=200&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.1&amp;w=300&amp;s=ad74f4292a0d191b68a018713378bf08 300w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/scent_list.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=512&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.1&amp;w=768&amp;s=d7a462287bd3d79936fa42348a6ae003 768w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/scent_list.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.1&amp;w=1200&amp;s=6cae6634db4b3ebee262839779eca9f8 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do collated sets come secured with belly bands?
