Project Description

At APL INDUSTRIAL, we use the highest quality materials in our Hardcover Book Printing process.

The covers are made with 98 pt. binder’s board that can then be covered with either a printed cover wrap, cloth or faux (imitation) leather material. With this binding method, the text pages are first glued together at the spine to create a “text block.” End leaves that hold the text block to the inside of the cover casing are applied to the binding edge of the text block. The cover is created separately and then glued to the end leaves and text block, creating a book that will last for years.

If you wish to have a dust jacket printed for your book, we have developed an interactive cover sizing diagram to help you correctly size your dust jacket.

The minimum number of pages that can be hard cover bound through a standard process is 24 and the maximum number of pages is 900.
