Sewn Book Printing

[Back]

Sewn book printing involves sewing folded book sections together with thread and then binding them into a cover. The sections are sewn using threads reinforced with bookbinding dispersion adhesive. As a result, this method provides very good opening flexibility for the finished book.

Sewn binding can be used with all paper types commonly used by publishers. This technology is distinguished by its high durability and classic, characteristic appearance.

Sewn books — what is worth knowing?

Books with sewn binding are characterised by very high durability. The use of thread for sewing sections together is especially suitable for publications that are intensively used.

Sewn binding also provides excellent opening flexibility. Thanks to the use of thread, the book does not close by itself, which is particularly important for textbooks, albums and working publications.

Sewn binding is especially recommended for publications with a higher production standard. This binding method can be used in both softcover and hardcover bindings.

Notes on sewn book printing technology

When ordering sewn books at Books Factory, it is important to consider the technical requirements resulting from the publication folding process.


  • recommended page count should be divisible by 4,
  • if this requirement is not met, additional blank pages may be added at the end of the book.


It should also be remembered that sewing technology is more time-consuming than glueing, which may result in slightly longer production times.
