Crowned as the king of books, not because of the amount printed but for the prestigious look and feel you get from them.
What is a Hardback Book?
The first stage of hardback binding is identical to our paperback binding, inside pages glued, except a heavy paper is used rather than using a cover to hold all of the pages together. This is then attached to the hard casing, made out of board which has either had a cover printed on or Wibalin cover can be added, we offer this in four colour Green, Blue, Red and Black. The finish of the Wibalin is either smooth or textured, a smooth finish is used if foiling is required. Hardback binding is a longer process than paperback binding and much of the process has to be done by hand
We have in-house case binding machinery, which means that we can print short-run hardback books.
What Material Is Used For The Hardback Case?
The hardback board case is covered in a Wibalin material either in a textured or smooth finish depending on if foiling is required or not, we offer 4 different colours of Wibalin Green, Red, Blue, and Black. We can print onto the hardback cover with either a gloss or matt finish. A wrap-around cover / dust jacket can be added to the cased book. The dust jacket has oversized flaps that are folded and tucked into the cased book.

You can see all of our independent reviews on our Trust Pilot page. Here are a few of the most recent:
This company produced a small number of hardback books (and reprints) including photos and text exactly to my specification. Top notch production and brilliant personal service. Better value than the competition, and no job too small. I would not hesitate to use them any time. Highly recommended.
