Default Prettying up a document package

I'm looking for ideas on making 100+ page document look a little fancier than simply handing the papers in themselves. I want it to look professional and well put together, but I have no idea where to start. I went to Staples, and they can send it away to get bindings put on it, but I cannot send this away anywhere.

I don't want to use simple staples in the corners or anything like that. Anyone have idea or experience with putting together packages like this?

On the front page, write "A Document Package" instead of "An Document Package"

Have the Oilers given up on DVD's and moving on to fan brochures?

clear plastic folio. Or you can get it bound at Petro-Tech Printing.

Chicago screws. You buy them in sets of two, one is like a male screw and the other is like a female screw. Here is link to what they look like:

And this is what your document can look like:

This way all you need to do is three (or two) hole punch it and screw these suckers in. I think you can get them at staples or Michaels. Most print shops have them too.

I will look into this product, but unfortunately there is no Petro Tech Printing in Edmonton. Thanks for the info though.

I work for Staples, most stores should be able to bind (Cerlox) a 100 pg document in-store. At least they do out here.
