Creating Your Own Hard Cover Books - 3 Options For Hard Case Binding
When your company is looking to produce the most elegant, professional, and permanent presentation documents possible, you could hardly do better than the perfect-bound look of hardcover books. If your business has decided that you'd like to have the capability to produce these high-end documents, on demand and in-house, there are several binding machine options out there that are worth taking a look at. The three that we will discuss here, Unibind Steel Books, Thermal Binding Hard Cases, and Velobind Hard Cases, all have their advantages and disadvantages, and in this article we will take a closer look at them in order to help you decide which binding machine will be the best fit for you and your needs.
- Unibind Steel Books provide a unique, professional look and feel, and are among the easiest to produce in the market. To create a Unibind steel Book, all you need to do is to place the pages inside the patented steel spine, run the document through the binding machine, give it a few minutes for the spine and heated glue to cool down, and you have a finished document. This binding machine option is unique among the tree discussed here, in that all supplies are stocked and there is no production time. There are options that will take more time, such as foil stamping and other sorts of customization, but overall, Unibind is a great option for ease of use and the unique, rugged, and elegant quality of the finished product.
- While still fairly simple, Thermal Case Binding is just a little bit more complicated than binding your books with the Unibind Steel Book system. Though most of the process is very similar (put your pages inside the cover, run the book through the machine), with thermal case binding, before the book is allowed to cool you must add the the extra step of inserting the book into a hardback book crimping machine to finalize the document. Thermal case binding has some advantages over Unibind binding in that there are many more size options available, however, the binding cases and covers often require a lead time of about two weeks. Still, they are highly customizable, with options such as foil stamping and silk screening. Thermal case binding is also a great option if you find that you often want to produce off-sized photobooks and customized presentations.
- Since, quite frankly, there are a few better options out there, using the Velobind system for hardbound books is only recommended if your office already has a Velobind binding machine on site. Using specialized fly sheets that are necessary when binding hardcover books with the Velobind system is a little more involved than with the other options discussed above, and the cost and lead times can be a little bit prohibitive as well. However, if you already have a Velobind binding machine, Velobind hardcovers may be a good choice for you. Velobind hard cover cases are available in a variety of spine sizes that are assigned letters (A-F). Size A covers are the smallest and size F are the largest.
