We’re always trying to innovate and give customers new ideas and applications for well known products like case wrapped covers. Hardcovers aren’t just for books and boxes, and the product I’m showing this week takes it to a whole new level!

Inside the hardcover, you’ll find a sleek and compact perfect bound book that is attached by the front and back endpapers. The book’s thickness is half the width of the spine. But that’s not all – the other half of the spine features a clever die cut and glued pocket that securely holds a removable booklet.

Who says case wrapped hardcovers are just for books and boxes? We’re here to show you the endless possibilities and applications for this versatile product. Please give us a call to see what we can do!

This week, I’m excited to feature a hardcover book that stands out from the rest. With its unique design and attention to detail, this book is sure to make an impression on any reader. From the litho wrapped cover cut flush to the smyth sewn book block, exposing raw board along the edges; to the impressive green thread used in the binding process and precise edge painting technique – this hardcover book will be sure not only stand out but also last for years!  Let’s take a closer look at all of its features.

The hardcover itself is constructed with a litho-wrapped cover, which was then cut flush to the smyth sewn book block. This leaves exposed raw board around each edge of the hardcover, giving it an interesting texture and contrast against other books on a shelf. This adds a subtle yet eye-catching element as well as ensuring maximum durability for your hardcover edition over time. 

The green thread used in the smyth book sewing process shows in the center of each book signature as well as on the spine adding another layer of sophistication and elegance throughout the book. There are so many ways to customize books these days. Everything from choosing a paint color to paint the edges of the cover of each page to designing the litho wrap for the hard cover to selecting the binding method is part of the custom book designing process.

If you want a hardcover book that’s both visually appealing and durable, look no further than hardcover books with painted edges!

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 for “special touch” features keep increasing.

• Clasps and buckles in metallic and solid colours
• Widths from 1” up to 3.5”
• Range of fasteners from interlocking fasteners to snap buckles

The image above shows a small sampling of the colours and styles available for elasticized belt book closures.
