Custom Hardcover Book Printing
Durable, handmade hardcover books for planners, journals, coffee table books, novels, memoirs, cookbooks, and children's books.
A hardcover binding is one of the simplest ways to make a product feel special. The covers are attractive and durable, and they add a sense of value and permanence to everything from planners and journals to coffee table books, novels, memoirs, cookbooks, and children's books.
We print hardcover books in almost any size, with a wide range of cover treatments, interior options, binding methods, and finishing details, so you can match the book to your project.
Print in black and white, color, or a mix. You are charged only for the pages printed in color, not for the entire book, so you can add color exactly where you want it and keep costs down everywhere else.
Cover Options
Hardcover books can be printed in almost any size, and you can build the look of your cover from these options:
- Full color printed image wrapped cover
- Matte, gloss, or soft-touch lamination
- Faux leather or linen cover materials
- Foil stamped or embossed designs
Interior Page Printing
Print your interior pages in black and white, digital color, or inkjet color, or use a combination of black and white and color. Offset printing is also available for larger runs.
Binding Methods
PUR Glue Binding
The pages are printed, glued along the spine, and set into the hardcover case. Because the spine is glued, the pages can curl slightly toward the gutter.
Smyth Sewn Binding
The pages are sewn in signatures so the book lies completely flat, providing a seamless reading experience.
Wire-o Binding
A durable, flexible binding that lets the book open completely flat and stay open, which works well for planners, journals, reference books, and cookbooks. The wire-o can be exposed or concealed.
Metal Spiral Binding
A sturdy finish that lets the book lie flat or fold back on itself.
