Book binding options in London
The binding changes how a publication opens, handles and feels. 7Print offers several routes, from economical saddle stitching to square-spine perfect binding, wire binding and premium hardback work.
Choose binding around page count, use and finish
The established 7Print binding range includes perfect binding, saddle stitching, wire binding and hardback work, alongside folding, scoring and lamination. We can help match the method to the publication rather than choosing by appearance alone.
Need something less standard? Send the intended size, quantity, deadline and a reference for the look you are aiming for. We can help narrow down the production options.
Choose the route that suits the job.
These are common starting points. Final recommendations depend on artwork, quantity, size and how the finished piece will be used.
Flexible adhesive binds pages into a wrap-around cover to create a clean square spine for magazines, lookbooks, catalogues and portfolios.
Staples through the centre fold create a familiar magazine and booklet format for suitable page counts.
Wire binding opens flat for manuals and reports; hardback binding gives portfolios, theses and presentation books a more substantial finish.
