This week, I’m showcasing a truly unique take on hard cover book design: a hard cover with a flexible, cloth spine! This unique style features the best of both worlds – the durability of a hardcover book with the flexibility of a soft spine. Are you looking for a modern, stylish and durable book cover […]
Box Presentation Folders As I mention in this video, we love multiple operation projects. The piece featured was made in six stages– done all in-house! The die cutting portion of this Document Box Folder project is pretty standard, followed by full-surface gluing of the panel. Choosing the right magnet for this capacity folder, however, was […]
Elastic Belt Book Embellishments This week’s feature is a new type of embellishment for your casebound book project. For a recent job, we created a functional and modern book closure by sourcing elasticized fabric belts with quality interlocking buckles for fastening. We have noticed that although fewer books are being produced each year, the demand […]
This clever book binding technique uses rubber bands, instead of glue or thread! We can source rubber bands in a wide range of widths and colours. Rubber bands can also be printed!

We can now perfect bind books that measure 20” from spine to face or 20” head to foot. We can also Smythe thread […]

We can do a single panel pullout completely automatically. Any additional panels are inserted manually. Pullout marketing pieces with 1, 2, 3 or […]
The piece for this eblast is called a “three piece break apart.” As illustrated the customer/user, bends the piece in the middle two ways and pulls the piece apart. The “centre piece”, for example, could be a simple card, it is removed from the two “halves!” We can produce these pieces in quantities from hundreds […]

Binding this style of binding using the perfect binding method would in […]
