Casebound (Hard Cover)
Our Smyth sewn casebound books have a sewn spine which allows the book to lay flat when opened. Coverwrap can be woven or non-woven with foil stamping, debossing or it can be a printed cover mounted to your desired board thickness. We can also turn your Perfect Bound books into Casebound.

Side sewing sews at least a quarter inch from the spine.
