Hard Cover Machines
There are basically two-steps when it comes to making a hardcover bound book:
- Make the case - Step one is to make the case itself (called case making) which is actually making your hardcover wrap-around piece. This process involves wrapping specialty chipboards with a custom printed cover and adding liners.
- Bind-in the book block - The second step is to actually bind-in the book block. Sometimes these machines are called gluing machines, but more often they are just called hardcover binding systems
