Hardcover Binding
Hard Cover Binding
A professional, classy, or dramatic look.
Case binding is the process for making hardcover books, such as reference books, yearbooks, children’s books, novels, vanity books, coffee table books, art books, law books, medical books, and most custom books. The advantages of case binding a book are the strength and durability you get from the various case binding techniques. The look of the hardback book is also superior with the availability of leather, papers, and different fabrics that can be used to encase the book. These materials, coupled with the variety of specialty finishing techniques, such as embossing or foil stamping, give the case bound book a professional, classy, or dramatic look. A printed dust jacket can also be applied to finish off your book.
Case binding involves building a book block out of pre-collated, pre-cut loose sheets or gathered signatures that are either adhesive bound into a book block or are gathered and sewn along the spine. It would be at this point that additional finishing touches may be added, such as applying ribbons or marbling. The hardback case is made by wrapping paper, cloth, lamination, or leather around the case board and then glued onto the book block. The spine can be rounded (which is most common for Smyth sewn books), flat (such as you see in many children’s books and coffee table books), and tight backed (providing additional support for heavy books).
