'''Binding''' is the method in which the pages of a print [[fanzine]] are fastened together. The binding type is determined by the dimensions of the zine, as well as economic factors. Small [[digest-sized]] zines or booklets can be center stapled. Zines over 50 pages will require either spiral or comb binding. Early fanzines in the 1970s were secured with screw posts or brass brad fasteners. In the 1990's, the era of fanzine standardization, the majority of media fanzines were comb bound, as fanzine editors could buy a comb binding machine and use it to bind entire series of fanzines. Perfect binding, a commercial [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookbinding#Thermally_activated_binding bookbinding] technique, was initially very expensive and even today is not the commonly used method of binding fanzines.

Small booklets can be center or "saddle" stapled. Larger zines can be stapled with three industrial strength staples.
