          • Hardback Books

          • Add a prestigious look to any print project with Hardback Book, also known as Hardcover Book printing

          •  Priory Logo Blue

        1. Product Description

          Choose a premium publication with our Hardback Books. Hardback or Hardcover Books as they are also known are created using a specialist method called case binding. This is perfect for books that are used over and over again and are built to last.

          Whether you're printing corporate documents, a school leavers' yearbook or an exclusive, limited edition publication, we've got your covered.

          How are they binded?

          Hardcover Book Printing is sealed using a specialist method called case binding. The front and back cover of your Hardback Book is printed and wrapped around a greyboard to create the 'Case' or Hardback of your book. The inner or text pages are bound together using a strong PUR (Polyurethane Reactive) adhesive. White end papers and fly sheets are then inserted. The un-printed end papers are glued to the case on the front and back. The flysheets are also blank and inserted just before and after your printed pages.

          Technical Specifications for Case binding

          • Front and back covers - 170gsm Galerie Art satin paper
          • Case - 2400micron greyboard

For example, for a booklet ordered with 40 inner pages please supply an inner PDF of 40 pages in running order and a cover PDF, containing your cover artwork supplied as a spread including your spine and wrap around.
