If your end sheets will be printed and your book’s interior uses gloss or matte art paper—say, for an art book or coffee table book—to make sure the colors match well, use 157gsm / 58 lb gloss or matte art paper for your end sheets.

Hardcover Book Binding Options

When it comes to hardcover book binding, we highly recommend sewn binding over simple glue binding. Sewn hardcover (or hardbound books) provides exceptional durability and a luxurious finish, making it the preferred choice. This binding method ensures that your book can open flat without damaging the spine, which is ideal for high-traffic publications such as coffee table books, art books, and photography books.

How Sewn Hardcover Binding Works

Our sewn hardcover binding process includes the following steps:

  1. Page Signatures: Interior pages are organized into signatures, which are folded and printed together.
  2. Sewing: The signatures are then stitched together using strong thread, ensuring a robust and long-lasting bind.
  3. Binding: Once sewn, the pages are glued into a hard casing made from durable cloth or paper and covered with a printed sheet.

This method results in a high-quality hardbound book that exudes professionalism and resilience, making it a great choice for luxury editions, photobooks, and self-published authors.
