Hardcover book
The production of a hardcover book involves a series of precise and coordinated steps to ensure durability and premium quality. First, the inner pages are printed using high-quality offset presses, often in full color for art books or photo albums. The printed sheets are then folded into signatures, gathered, and sewn or glued into a sturdy book block. Next, the cover is produced—typically consisting of printed or cloth-wrapped boards with optional foil stamping or lamination. The book block is then cased-in using a hardcover production line, where the cover and block are perfectly aligned, pressed, and allowed to dry for a strong, durable bond. Finally, the books undergo trimming, quality inspection, and packaging, resulting in a professional hardcover book suitable for long-term use and display.
