Book Production Details

Book Binding Options

After the pages are printed, they need to be bound together to form the final book.

  • Perfect Binding: This method involves gluing the pages together at the spine and then attaching a cover. It is commonly used for softcover books.
  • Case Binding: Also known as hardcover binding, this method involves sewing the pages together, attaching them to a cover, and then covering the spine with a durable material, such as cloth or leather. Case binding is used for hardcover books.
  • Saddle Stitching: This method involves folding the printed sheets in half and stapling them along the fold line. Saddle stitching is commonly used for booklets and magazines with a low page count.

Getting the Finished Books to You

Once the books are printed and finished, they are packaged and prepared for distribution. This can involve shrink-wrapping, boxing, and labeling the books for shipment to their destination.

Are there recommended finishing options for books?

If you’re looking for a cost-effective cover finish, you can’t go wrong with UV Coating. UV Coating is a liquid solution poured onto your cover that is then cured using ultraviolet and infrared lights. This cover finish will give your book a bit of a shine, and will help protect your book against curling. It won’t peel and is more pliable than other finishes.

UV Coating is the best option if you want to keep your production costs low, or you want a look somewhat between gloss and matte. This finish option is versatile, making it a terrific choice for genres from fiction and history to textbooks and manuals.
