Bookbinding

Our bookbinding services can help you create and deliver specialty books for businesses and events of all kinds. We can work with you to provide the perfect bound book to clients, customers, stakeholders or guests.

Some examples of books we can bind and finish include bound reports, portfolios and corporate presentations, gifts for special events, albums and journals for business or nonprofit use, scripts and musical scores, and professional legal and medical bookbinding for records, journals, cases and other documents.

Whether you’re having a book printed with us or elsewhere, our bookbinding services focus on getting the details just right, to create the high quality we’re known for. We offer a wide range of bookbinding and finishing styles so that you can customize your book project from start to end.

Options include foil stamping or embossing on covers and spines, rounding corners, and several kinds of binding like perfect binding, saddle stitch, wire-o, tape binding, and Chicago post.

There’s no limit on the number of books you can have bound, whether that’s two dozen or hundreds. Small boutique bookbinding projects are welcome, as are large corporate ones. Our printing capabilities are highly flexible to fit your bookbinding needs. Large formats are also possible, and we can print materials in black-and-white or full digital color.

Softcovers can be perfect or square-bound, with covers of varying weight and size, depending on what fits your book the best. We also have coil bindings available if you are producing manuals, handbooks, cookbooks, scores and anything else that will be used frequently and needs to be able to lay flat when open.

There are different weights and coil types available based on the size of your book when printed; talk to our experienced press team, and they’ll make sure you have the best type of binding for your project.

If your project includes smaller book needs, such as booklets, custom catalogs, or playbills, we have a fast and cost-effective saddle-stitching option available.
