Hardcover Book Binding Options
Choosing the right binding method is essential for creating a durable and professional hardcover book in Houston. We highly recommend sewn binding over simple glue binding for its superior quality and luxurious finish. This premium option ensures your book lies flat without damaging the spine, making it ideal for high-traffic publications like coffee table books, art books, and photography books.
How Sewn Hardcover Binding Works
Our sewn hardcover binding process combines craftsmanship and precision to deliver outstanding results:
Step 1: Page Signatures
Interior pages are grouped into signatures—sections of folded and printed pages.Step 2: Sewing
These signatures are stitched together using strong thread to create a robust structure.Step 3: Binding
The sewn pages are glued into a hard casing made of durable materials, then covered with custom-printed paper or cloth for a professional finish.
