Full Color
Side-Sewn Bindings
Economical, durable alternative to
traditional dust jackets!
Also available in
fabric finishes.
Is your book a handy size? One that has the reader in mind, and thus, is not
several hundred pages long? This binding option combines Library Binding
Institute recognized durability as a lower cost alternative to
Library Oversewing in books of small page count.
This full color process is a cost effective hard binding alternative to the dust jacket and tailored to your book. Note, however, full color hard covers do not include flap or end sheet imprint/printing in standard pricing. Special printed end sheets can be ordered, but the most economical are natural blank end sheets. All books are guaranteed for quality of workmanship and materials.
Currently,
our standard color hard cover offering on our quotation sheets for a maximum
5/16" spine (just under 200 pages), very
economical machine side sewn, with a hard "square" spine. If you prefer an alternative,
contact us for custom
other economical options to fit your needs.
Recommended Project Specifications for this type of hard cover
Minimum size (HxWxD) 4x5x0.0875"
Maximum size (HxWxD) 12x14x0.375"
Uncoated or coated paper stock both work well
Side Sewn - square back measurement graphic to make cover file design easier.
Side Sewing: Method of attaching signatures or individual pages together by sewing the entire text block, along the binding margin, in a single pass by machine. Meets library binding standard: ANSI/NISO/LIB Z39.78
To meet accepted standards, side sewn books must not be more than 3/8 inch thick and have less than 3/4" gutter (interior) margin. Less binding margin will lead to broken spines as the readers seek the knowledge on the interior of the pages. Side stitching employs a lock stitch.
Please note that, though LBI standards do not endorse color lamination, this product meets or exceeds as many standards for quality, durable binding as we could find.
Side sewing can also be used in standard or deluxe bindings.
We offer full color softbinding methods in a variety of types as well.
