Specialists in Thesis and Dissertation Binding
We have been offering bookbinding and rebinding services to students for many years now, providing them with beautifully bound thesis, dissertations and documents.
Based out of premises in Leeds, our highly skilled team allow us to provide a range of services from book binding to foil blocking through to conservation and digitisation.
Standard Hard Bound Thesis
Also known as a case binding. These are bound with a professional quality library buckram. The binding itself is bound the highest standard, and glued for maximum durability. With thick 3mm boards offering a rigid finish, and solid feel, combined with the spine curvature for ease of opening. This binding is most commonly used for final thesis submission, and for personal copies.
Softbound Acetate Cover Thesis
Softbound with an acetate front cover and a card spine and rear. The Softbound Acetate cover is available in a range of card colour, and with or without spine lettering.
Comb Bound Thesis
Ideal for draft theses, small projects, reports, and essays the comb bound thesis uses a plastic comb spine for accommodating punched documents. A transparent PVC front board allows the title page of your document to be viewed. The back is held in place with a rigid board, which gives firm support to the binding.
Buckram Cloth Covers
The buckram cloth we use to cover your theses is of the highest standard available. We stock 36 colours with a consistent colour match, acrylic coated for a water-resistant / wipe clean finish, colour fast – no fading, excellent foil blocking characteristics for clear text and a durable, smooth, high-quality finish.
Buckram cloth is used for hard bound theses, loose leaf theses, and soft bound cloth theses, it is also used on the spines of the standard soft bound theses. We offer a wide range of choices for your thesis cover, using only the finest quality buckram.
Note: Check which colour is required to meet your course submission criteria. When choosing colours you should be careful to make sure the cloth colour contrasts with your chosen lettering foil. This will ensure that the lettering on your cove is fully legible.
