Bolero Binder
After the sewing process, we bind the books using our Bolero Binder. Users know this machine for its flexibility and precision, as it can handle a wide range of book sizes and types.
The Bolero Binder uses a combination of hot-melt and PUR adhesives to create a strong, durable bind. Binding the pages keeps them together and gives the book a neat and professional appearance. This improves the quality and overall look of the book.
Diamant Case-in Line Machine
Our Diamant Case-in Line machine finishes the books after binding them. This machine has a reputation for its precision and reliability in the case-in process. It ensures that the cover aligns perfectly with the book block, creating a clean, professional appearance.
The Diamant Case-in Line machine helps books last longer by securely attaching the cover. This makes the book strong enough for regular use.

Exploring Other Types of Book Binding
Publishers often use Smyth sewn binding for hardcover books because it offers durability and good quality. However, there are also other binding options available. Publishers commonly bind hardcover books using Smyth sewn binding because of its strength and high quality. Nonetheless, there are alternative binding methods to consider.
Other binding process methods like Case Binding can also bind hardcover books. This is another common method for hardcover books, offering a robust and professional finish.
Perfect binding (or paperback book binding) is another option. Perfect bound book binding glues the cover directly to the spine of the book. We often sew bind books with a large page count but don't warrant a hard cover. Large catalogs exemplify a good use case for this.
Wire-O Binding is a versatile method that allows books to lay flat when opened, unlike Smyth sewn binding. The choice of binding method depends on the specific needs and preferences of the project.
Saddle stitching is by far the cheapest version of binding. This limits your page count to a manageable number.
