We offer two different types of leather book binding: Standard and premium.
The standard leather binding has a smooth and shiny surface and is more textured. The premium leather book binding, in turn, has a softer texture and a faux leather look.
For both types of leather binding, the additional option of embossing is possible. This enables you to print the title of your thesis, PhD or dissertation on your binding. Therefore it is often referred to as leather binding embossing.
Leather book binding is used primarily for larger and more significant pieces of work. Thanks to the book-like appearance and the high quality, robust cover, your work will stand out from the rest.
We recommend leather book binding for the following types of academic work:
Leather book binding consists of two cardboard sheets for the front and back covers and a cardboard strip for the spine. The cardboard elements are then covered with the leather binding. The material differs from premium to standard leather binding.
The pages are glued together along with two stable end pages, and then glued to the leather binding.
