Is Buying Hardcover Worth?

Before making a decision based purely on cost, you should consider how hardcover binding can really transform your product. Not only is it a great solution for almost any bespoke project, but it will also ensure your book stands out on the shelf and has an impact on your readers that they will treasure for years to come.

To help you make the right decision for your printed material, here are 4 reasons why you need to consider hardcover binding.

What is a hardcover book?

The main cover of a hardback book usually comes with a dust jacket. These dust jackets are the paper things you often see on hardback books, but they can also be leather on more expensive books.

Publishers have designed hardbacks to protect the book over time. They do not wear and tear as easily as paperbacks and are not as prone to damage as paperbacks.

The printing on hardback books is also excellent and the quality of the paper is usually much better. The paper used in hardback books is usually very durable and will last a long time with the cover.

This is why you will find many collector's editions in hardback.

As well as collector's editions, you will also find reference guides in hardback. You may find that, depending on the author, they only publish new books in hardback for first release.

Hardcover binding: the benefits

Hardcover binding or cover binding involves creating a book by sewing the pages into the spine or using an adhesive to bind them into blocks and then gluing them to the hardcover book. This offers many benefits, such as

Uniqueness

With hardback binding this is even more prominent as you can take advantage of a range of finishing options to create a truly unique product. Customise your print with foil stamping, die cutting, marbling, dyeing, corner rounding, hand or custom leather! Other finishing jobs such as ribbons or unique dust jackets can also be used to make an impact.

Excellent strength and durability

Hardcover books are built to last, so if you need a strong and durable product, hardcover books are the way to go. Modern binding technology not only offers strength, such as the strongest partially sewn products, but also now offers the flexibility that you can lay the book flat.

Versatility

Although hardback binding is often associated with specialist books (such as law and medical textbooks) and products that need to be kept for a long time (such as yearbooks), this type of binding can be used for any type of printed material. From children's books or novels to fashion books or coffee table books, hardcover binding is the ideal solution to make your printed material stand out and ensure that it lasts a lifetime.

Print tip! With short-run technology, you don't have to print 1000 pieces to be cost effective. You can produce a small number of books as a premium set or collector's item, or even as a complement to the paperback option.

High-grade

There's a reason why professional books are almost entirely hardcover, and it's purely because of the quality it offers. Hardcover binding provides you with a sophisticated product that is both durable and has a quality finish - what more could you want from a printed product?

With quality comes the tendency to be careful and the need to cherish, especially with hardcover books. If you know a book lover or are one yourself, then you will know that hardback books are a classic collector's item. People love the look and feel of them, they love the feeling of going back in time, they love the luxury of them.

The quality of hardback books sets them apart and makes them a worthy purchase for occasions or hospitality, so you need to make a decision when placing your print - do you want your product to be read or cherished?
