Casebound
Cloth, Leather, imitation, 3 piece covers, etc...with wide range of headband and ribbon materials, as well as foil and embossing on spine and front cover
PLC (Printed Laminated Cover) Casebound
A casebound book using printed sheet as cover wrap, rather than cloth or other cover material. PLC cover image is often a duplicate of jacket image, or this style also stands on its own without the need for a jacket.
Quarterbound
A variation of casebinding...PLC (printed laminated cover), or other cover material, with cloth wraparound spine
Dutch Binding
Similar to casebinding (PLC cover, endsheets, etc...), but with a flexible soft cover (600gsm for example). Usually finished with roundback spine
Perfect Bound
Signatures are bound into cover using high strength flexible adhesive
Smyth Sewn
Provides added strength and durability over standard Perfect Binding by sewing signatures together as well as gluing
Board Book Binding
We use only the finest quality imported Kappa Board, either white or grey, virtually eliminating any possibility of warping. Very durable, popular format for children's books
Center Sewn
Utilize film imposed for saddle stitching without having to re-strip or output new film. Signatures are "saddled" as in saddle stitching, than thread sewn
Wire-O or Twin Ring Binding
Good choice for Journals, Calendars, Diaries, Cookbooks, or any other books that benefit from folding back completely
Concealed Wire-O: Squareback or Roundback
The wire loops are concealed, or semi-concealed, by the cover. This can be a rounded spine to conform with the wire shape, or squareback
External Lay-Flat Wire-O:
Another creative use of Wire-O binding. This style has the wire partially inside and outside of the cover and allows the book to be opened up flat
Wire-O with Squareback spine:
Another variation using Wire-O binding. This style has the cover wrapping the spine inside the wire for a more finished look. But spine copy may be obstructed
