Classic bookbindings V1 – V8

We provide standard book bindings of type V1 (sewn), V2 (glued), V3 (block), V4 (soft) or V8 (hard).

V1 binding

A soft, sewn binding in which the pages are inserted into each other and sewn together at the spine with two wire staples. We may or may not use a harder paper for the cover than in the block.

Use: Printing up to 60 sheets ( 120 pages) / More than 60 sheets ( 120 pages) is not recommended in this way.

V2 glued binding

Not used.

V3 block binding

Individual sheets or book components are stitched with thread. The whole/block is pasted into a paper cover.

The durability of the binding is limited due to tearing of the endpapers at the spine stitching. With the large size of the booklet, this binding results in poor unfoldability of the publication.

Use: suitable for small-run publications up to 100 pages. This binding is not much used.

V4 paperback

Sewn.

V6 – Leporelo

The individual sheets are made of cardboard (either printed or coated). The cardboard sheets are bonded with canvas or paper. The binding then joins these sheets separately with their own spine.

Use: mainly for children’s books and children’s books (spatial fairy tales, children’s book-type puzzles), family photographs.

V7 half-covered from the edge

The V7 book binding is a stiff binding with a combined cover, the so-called half-covered binding – glued with half-covered (combined) boards.

The book boards are paper covered and the spine of the book is covered with cloth or other suitable material. The cover paper is, of course, usually printed.

Use: book publications.
