Clients sometimes request their booklets or flyer packets to be corner stapled. For the purposes of cost, this is a fine option. For purposes of presentation, corner stapling is not suggested.
For a more professional looking piece, a client should consider other binding methods, such as tape binding, spiral binding, hard cover binding, perfect binding, comb binding, velo binding, coil binding, saddle stitch, wire binding, etc. These options offer a more presentable look for marketing materials.

I agree 100% with this post. Corner stapling is fine if you’re looking to save money, but binding makes your product look 100 times more professional. This is especially useful when creating business reports.
Just finished a booklet for an old client of mine. I persuaded him to use coil binding, now both of us are happy with the result.
