Order Your Printed Hard Cover Case Bound Books

Hard cover case binding produces premium books with a thick, strong, and durable cover (the name comes from the hard outer ‘case’ used for each book).

At CMYK Colour Online we are the hard cover case bound book printing specialists. All our books are printed and bound in Australia (including the covers). Because of our unique assembly and binding process, we offer case binding at cheap, rock bottom prices without any compromise on quality.

Our case-bound books are assembled using a unique environmentally friendly completely dry process which doesn’t require any liquid chemicals or glue. This automated and innovative system allows for seamless binding and covering of case bound books in various formats and spine sizes without the need for time consuming sewing, stitching, hand assembly or manual gluing.

The hard covers for our case bound books are assembled using ultra-thick 3mm boxboard with a special in-built patented steel spine. The cover shell is wrapped (on the outside) with your printed design, with blank lining sheets (black or white) on the inside. We offer a range of finishes for the outside of case bound covers, including gloss laminate, matt laminate and linen finishes. For the internal/text pages we offer a wide range of stock weights and finishes to choose from. Our online pricing includes pages from 44pp through to 210pp (stock dependent). If you need a smaller or larger page range for your book, please contact us for a quote.

With no minimum quantities, hard cover books are Ideal for short run and print on demand. We offer quantities as low as a single book, ranging into the hundreds. If you want to print your own hard cover books, we are the best place to come to.  We make it easy for self-publish authors to bring their writing to life.

Case binding produces premium quality beautiful hard cover books. If you are an author (cookbooks, children’s books, textbooks, yearbooks, photo books, art books, coffee table books, novels, graphic novels, nonfiction books, design books, family histories, year books, journals, etc..), what better way to showcase all of your hard work. Or if you are looking to spice up your annual reports, product guides, visitor guides, business proposals, financial reporting, technical booklets, wedding or marriage albums, or any other type of visual presentation, try case binding for jaw dropping results.

The hard cover books that you see on the shelves at libraries and bookstores are often good examples of the various types of hard cover and cloth hard cover case binding.
