Why Choose Case Bound Books?

Case bound books are the gold standard for premium, professional, and long-lasting publications. Whether you are creating a photographic book, a history book, an art portfolio, or a personal project, a hard bound book offers unmatched durability, strength, and an elegant finish.

The process involves wrapping a printed paper, specialty paper, or cloth material around a grey board. This is then fixed around a thread-sewn book block, which gives the book durability and strength.

Custom Finishing Options

To further enhance the look and feel of your hard bound book, we offer a range of premium finishing options:

  • Foil Blocking & Embossing – Add a foil-stamped or embossed title to your cover and spine for an elegant, eye-catching design that stands out.
  • Head & Tail Bands – Found at the top and bottom of the spine, these folded pieces of fabric not only look great, but conceal the glue that hold the thread-sewn book together. They come in a variety of colours to match your design.
  • End Papers – These are the sheets of paper on the inside cover that attach to the thread sewn book block. Choose from blank, coloured, or printed end papers to complement your design and add a personal touch.
  • Dust Jackets – A separate outer cover with folded flaps that wraps the cover, providing extra protection and design flexibility.
