Crafting Case-Bound Books
Creating a case-bound book begins with assembling the text block, the heart of the book. Pages are folded, gathered, and sewn together to form a sturdy block, which is then glued and pressed to give the book its signature strength and stability.

Next up is the case itself! The front and back covers and spine are cut from heavy cardboard, or “board,” and wrapped in fabric, leather, or decorative paper. This is where the magic happens—this is where our clients…you designers, get creative, embellishing the case with everything from sleek minimalist designs to intricate works of art.

Once the case is ready, the text block and case come together. Glue is applied to the endpapers (those handy pages at the beginning and end of the book), securing them to the inner surfaces of the covers. Voilà, a beautifully bound book that’s ready to hit the shelves.

Why Case-Bound Books Are Worth the Hype
What makes case-bound books so lovable? For one, they’re built to last! With sturdy covers and durable binding, hardcovers can handle wear and tear far better than their paperback counterparts. Plus, they just feel good in your hands—there’s something special about flipping through a weighty, well-bound book.

Case-bound books are also perfect for book lovers who appreciate a touch of artistry. Designers use the hardcover format as a canvas for creativity, transforming the exterior into a piece of eye-catching art.
