Case Binding

Case binding (or edition binding) is the type of binding used in hardback books. The process involves sewing the individual signatures together, leveling the spine, and applying endsheets and a piece of cloth to the spine. After this process, the hard cover is added. The spine of a book made through case binding may have grooves along the edges however, the spine is usually rounded.

*Case binding is the suggested method of binding for books that are used daily (text books, encyclopedias, dictionaries, logs, diaries, registers, etc.).
