Trim cost for binders Liz Lorbeer 25 Sep 2006 18:29 UTC

Hello Serialst:
We're moving from "trim" to "no trim" as a better way to preserve our
bound journal collection.  Our binder tells us since we are not
"trimming" our journals there is an additional cost for each bound
volume to hand trim (no trim). With the trim, the journals were being
cut by a machine, and the no trim will be by hand. Is this common
practice to charge additional for no trim?

Thanks for your help.
