Binding items such as books, brochures, magazines and reports can be done in a variety of ways; this very much depends on the number of pages, budget and design. Our Videos give a view of the types of binding available, and below are some short descriptions of some of the more common binding techniques.

Your order is then checked, boxed and shipped to your chosen address.
Lay flat bound books use one continuous sheet for each spread; they are folded down the centre and the whole sheet is glued to the next spread (front to back). This is then repeated with the front cover, which means that the spine is not glued. This is great for photographic and art books and brochures where photography spans the spread.
Case binding is commonly used for hardcover books. This is the most expensive method, however, it does offer durability. Stacked, folded and sewn sections are collated into a block, which is then trimmed on three sides and glued into a spine. The spine and front and back covers are all one piece made from binder’s board. The first and last sheet of the internal pages are then glued to the inside front and inside back pages. This binding option offers a premium, durable finish perfect for books and brochures.

Thank you Damian and all at Hartgraph for all your bespoke help on numerous projects. We have been very impressed with your team, capabilities, and how well you have executed our products at such speed. We were working to very tight deadlines prior to Christmas for the launch of our new Adoptions, that needed to be available in time for Christmas, and Hartgraph managed to fulfil all our needs for the packaging and products and delivered these on time. The team are a pleasure to work and really go above and beyond for their clients. We can't recommend the team enough! It was also great to visit and see the print and packaging facilities that Hartgraph have in house and the professional service that is being run, this really opened up so many more opportunities and we will be using Hartgraph for a lot more going forward into 2025.

Once again Hartgraph have produced the most stunning brochure for my photography business! The print quality, finishing & level of service was faultless. Being a professional photographer, optimum quality was of paramount importance to me, & boy they delivered! I’ll definitely be back for my future print requirements.Posted on Google NEED Baked GoodsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been working with Hartgraph since we founded our company. Being a food startup, we could not get access to the favourable pricing for our packaging that larger companies can by virtue of their purchasing power - that is, until we were introduced to Hartgraph. In spite of our small orders, we have always been treated with the same levels of professionality and respect as their larger clients and we have enjoyed a great collaboration with Hartgraph ever since, with easy ordering processes and the same consistent high quality of product. We highly recommend Hartgraph to any business looking for a great and dependable long-term printing and packaging partner. Felix Baudenbacher, Director, NEED Ice CreamPosted on Google Fanderson ClubTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hartgraph has been our print supplier since 2007 and we couldn't be happier than with them! Products from our previous supplier would invariably come with all kinds of defects, but we never have a problem with products from Hartgraph. Everything is of the quality standard that our members expect. Members occasionally suggest other printers who they think can do the job cheaper, but we know we're going to get great results with Hartgraph, and there's usually very little difference in the price. Well worth it for peace of mind! www.fanderson.org.ukPosted on Google Gareth SlaughterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Used these guys for years - great service and great printers! Special mention to Alan Kitley for always delivering and offering great advice across all projects.Posted on Google Clive MessageTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Many thanks to Damian and all the team at Hartgraph for producing a stunning limited edition presentation slipcase to enhance the display of a facsimile of The Lancet's first edition from 1823. The attention detail, communication and final product was excellent - I cannot recommend highly enough for going beyond the extra mile for us.Posted on Google Rona WaltersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
