Perfect binding is the process for making soft cover or paperback books and includes many variants according to client needs, such as corporate annual reports, brochures, manuals, non-fiction and fiction books, graphic novels, cost-efficient yearbooks, and various other publications that are a step up from saddle stitching.

Case binding is the process for making hard cover 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.

Mechanical binding is the method of book binding that uses a metal or plastic filament to bind the pages of a book together, allowing the book to lay flat. This method delivers accurate crossovers, is economical for short runs, and offers plastic variants available in many colors. For manuals, school agendas, cookbooks, calendars and notebooks, mechanical binding is a time-tested binding style.
