Slipcases for Los Angeles Hardcover Book
Slipcases are a fantastic way to add class, style, and extra protection to your hardcover books. They are made of stiff card stock like a box, but tailored to the size of your book, with one side left open so that when the book is inserted, only the sine is revealed. They can be made to house one or more books.

For Los Angeles hardcover books featuring vibrant illustrations or photographs, we recommend gloss or matte art paper for the best visual impact. For text-focused books, uncoated offset paper provides a natural and easy-to-read finish.

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:
- Page Signatures: Interior pages are organized into signatures, which are folded and printed together.
- Sewing: The signatures are then stitched together using strong thread, ensuring a robust and long-lasting bind.
- 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.
