Case Binding Services
Why Choose Universal Bookbindery for Case Binding?
At Universal Bookbindery, we specialize in crafting high-quality case-bound books that are not only visually appealing but also built to endure the test of time. The case, or hard cover, surrounding your book safeguards the content inside while offering an aesthetic appeal that reflects your brand and message.
Historically, bookbinding involved manually tying sheets of paper together, but we’ve evolved with the times, employing innovative methods and advanced machinery to create durable and elegant case-bound books that meet your specific needs.
Casebound Smyth Sewn
The most common and trusted method for creating library-quality books, Smyth sewing uses strong nylon thread to securely bind text signatures. The thread is mostly hidden within the spine, ensuring a smooth finish and allowing pages to lay flat. Decorative head- and foot-bands can also be added for an elegant touch.
Adhesive Casebound
Utilizing various types of adhesives—whether synthetic or natural—this method is ideal for producing robust and professional books. Our experienced team considers paper coatings, weight, and durability requirements, ensuring that we select the right adhesive for your project. Be mindful that glue requires curing time, which is crucial for our production schedule.
Saddle Sewn
A perfect fit for slim volumes, saddle sewn books are stitched down the center of the fold crease. This method allows for easy readability and is exceptionally durable, making it great for children’s books and other frequently used texts. The visible thread can provide a contrast or blend harmoniously with the pages.
Side Sewn
This unique technique features exposed threading running from the head to foot of the book, offering a stylish and distinctive look. While they are durable, side sewn books may not lie flat, making them best for creative applications that highlight the thread design.
Oversewn
This method binds single sheets of paper together, offering excellent durability but limited flexibility for the book to lie open. It is often used for thesis papers and for repairing older books while maintaining structural integrity.
Casebound Wire-O
The most common and trusted method for creating library-quality books, Smyth sewing uses strong nylon thread to securely bind text signatures. The thread is mostly hidden within the spine, ensuring a smooth finish and allowing pages to lay flat. Decorative head- and foot-bands can also be added for an elegant touch.
