Passbook Binding

Passbook Binding - Hard Cover Books

This week, I’m talking about the difference between regular center sewing (a.k.a. saddle sewing) and Passbook Binding. Remember old bank account books? The stitches in those books were only visible when opened to the center, but not on the outer spine. This type of binding is called Passbook Binding and it has two key aspects: only the signatures are sewn and the cover is drawn on after.

Please give us a call to discuss how adding a cover to saddle sewn books can make your project stand out.
