Case and Hard Cover Binding Services from Advantage Book Binding
Case Binding
In case binding, a book block is put together out of pre-collated, pre-cut loose sheets or gathered signatures. The sheets/signatures are then either bound into a book block or collected and sewn along the spine of the book. At this stage in the process, special finishing techniques such as marbling, foil stamping, or round cornering are added. We offer a number of different styles of case binding, including the following: Smyth Sewn Hard Cover Books Smyth sewing involves sewing thread through the backfold at the spine of signature and repeating the for every signature. The result is the strongest and most durable binding available. Smyth sewn books will also lay flat when opened. Adhesive Bound Hard Cover Books This binding style makes use of perfect or PUR perfect binding signatures and covering them with a hard cover case. Great for binding digitally printed runs. Fully Concealed Wire-Bound Hardback Books This binding style combines case and mechanical binding to create a durable, lay-flat book. The wire-O binding here is covered with the case binding, which protects the wire and gives it extra durability.Hard Cover Binding Projects
