But which bookbinding method is right for you?

Below is a list of the bookbinding methods that we offer. Please feel free to contact us, and one of our skilled bookbinders will gladly assist you with picking the best method for your bookbinding project.

Hot melt binding

• Done by using a hot melt perfect binder.
• This method is perfect for books that require a square spine, with a soft wrap around cover.

Cold glue binding

• Glue is applied manually, using padding compound.
• Great for both wrap around soft cover and full case cover books.
• For soft cover books, the spine will be square, while for full case books, the spine will be rounded.

Full case binding

• A full cover is made using one of the materials described above.
• The content pages will be either glue bound or sewn.
• The cover is then drawn onto the block (cased in).
• Titles, names, dates, etc. can also be foiled onto the cover in either gold or silver.

Section sewing

• Sections of the book are sewn together with cotton using a book sewing machine.
• The book can then be perfect bound with a soft cover, or full case bound.
