Case Bound Books

Hardback book printing offers premium quality and durability. Ideal for limited editions, yearbooks, and coffee table books, our casebound options are available for both small and large orders, providing a stylish, lasting impression with a sophisticated, high-end look.

How are hardback books made?

Case binding involves printing and wrapping the front and back cover around a greyboard to create the ‘case’ or hardback of your book. The inner pages are bound together using a strong PUR (Polyurethane Reactive) adhesive. White endpapers and fly sheets are then inserted; the unprinted endpapers are glued to the case on the front and back, while the blank fly sheets are placed just before and after your printed pages.

Ideal for Various Publications

Whether you're printing corporate documents, a school leavers’ yearbook, or an exclusive limited edition publication, our casebound books cater to a wide range of needs.

• Quantities: 1 - 1000
• Page Count: 40 - 400
• Paper Options: Gloss, Silk, or Uncoated for inner pages. We insert endpapers and fly sheets, so no additional artwork is required.
• Sizes: A4, A5, and 210mm square with long or short edge case binding.
• Cover Lamination: Choose between elegant Matt or vibrant Gloss lamination. Lamination is highly recommended for covers with heavy ink coverage to protect against marking during transit or storage.

For optimal protection, we recommend adding lamination, particularly for covers with heavy ink coverage. Lamination helps prevent ink transfer or marks caused by friction during transit or storage. You can choose from three finishes: Matt, or Gloss, each providing a durable layer of protection for your design. For more information, check our blog: Which lamination should I use for my print?
