Can Amazon's KDP Make Spiral-Bound Books?

If you’ve ever thought about publishing a book with that easy-to-flip spiral binding, such as a notebook, cookbook, or exercise book, you have likely wondered if KDP can produce these for you.

Why Spiral-Binding Matters

Spiral-bound books are a popular format for books that need to lay flat and stay open. Their structure makes them ideal for hands-on work, note-taking, and projects that require flipping back and forth.

Options Outside of KDP for Spiral-Binding

Unfortunately, KDP does not offer spiral binding, though there are other platforms that do offer this. Blurb, Lulu, and IngramSpark offer spiral-bound options for self-publishers and they allow for a bit more customization. These platforms are set up for small runs of customized books, so you can create your spiral-bound book as long as you take the time to plan exactly what you need.

Wrapping It Up

If you’re looking to publish that perfect flat-lay cookbook or interactive journal, there are options out there to make it happen!
