Our Book Binding Services

Case Binding

We offer an in-house case-binding service, with our Universe sewer and Digibook binding line to bring you high-quality case binding with impressive turnaround times. Ideal for hardback binding of novels, textbooks, and special editions.

 

PUR Binding

We have multiple binding machines with our BQ270, BQ470 and Digibook Binding Line. Whether you we are producing a small run of 10 books to a larger order of 100 thread sewn hardback books we can, our book binders ensure top quality for commercial book binding projects.

Thread Sewing

We have one of the first sheet-fed sewing machines in the UK. We are well equipped to handle any run length, big or small, and our lead times are the most competitive in the print finishing industry.

 

Book Printing

With advanced digital printing technology, we specialise in short run book printing without compromising on quality. Whether it's a 10 copies or 1,000, every book is produced to meet the high standards expected by publishers and authors.

Lamination

Providing strength and durability to printed media, our lamination films are perfect for various applications, including book covers and jackets, magazines, brochures, maps, gift wraps, calendars, point-of-sale material, and more.

Also known as dry lamination, the film is applied to the substrate using only pressure and heat to activate the adhesive.
