BINDINGS

To us, a binding is a distinguishing feature of a product. This is why, for each new project, we hand-pick bindings from the wide range of types we have available.

Stitched paperback - The body of the book is stitched in various signatures (sextodecimos, octavos, etc.) and glued to the cover.
Cardboard - A binding in which the stitched body of the book is applied to a cardboard cover which is covered with paper or cloth. This is generally finished off with endpapers and gutters.
Cardboard and cloth - A technique applied to cardboard-bound books where the spine and part of the cover and back cover are covered with cloth or another covering material.
Raw-cut binding - A technique applied to cardboard-bound books with the cut on three sides of the book, leaving the cardboard inside the cover visible. This cardboard can also be gilded.
Bodonian - A binding in which the cover and back cover are made up of two matching plates that are glued to the front and back covers.
Swiss binding - Cardboard with the book applied to a backing board.
Dutch cardboard - A type of binding that imitates cardboard using high-density paper. This special feature keeps the cover soft and flexible.
Hardcover paperback - A binding created by applying a matching cover to a paperback. This increases the thickness of the binding and leaves the spine free so that the book is able to open more freely.
Tout carton - A binding that allows a book to open to 180°. This binding is created by gluing each quarto to the next.
Binding with 180° opening - A binding in which the body of the book is fixed using a flexible and resistant glue, allowing the book to be opened to 180°, giving you a full view of adjacent pages.
Japanese binding - A type of binding made by gluing quartos backwards. This technique is mainly used when printing on very fine paper to prevent ink rubbing off.
Visible thread - A twist-stitched paperback in which the stitches between the signatures are left visible.
Unconventional bindings - We are able to experiment with bindings using visible threads that break the traditional rules.
Wire-O spiral - A unique binding technique in which sheets are drilled and spirals of different shapes and colours are applied. This allows the product to be opened up to 360° or bent onto itself.
Panoramic binding - A type of binding that allows a panoramic view but that also enables you to flick through the contents.
Staples - A binding with two staples in the spine.
Indexing - A process that involves cutting into the body of the book to categorise the content (or divide it into sections).
Singer sewn binding - A type of binding in which the thread is visible on the outside. This technique is particularly well-suited to fairly thin books and is often used as an alternative to staples, to embellish products with just a few pages.
