Bindings
Printing and binding go hand-in-hand. At QinPrinting, we're proud to incorporate a complete range of binding options to complete your book. Your choice of binding will depend on your book's genre, purpose, intended readership, format, and more. Given such a considerable array of choices, we're happy to help you pick the best bookbinding option for you, your book, and your budget. Let's have a quick look at the possibilities.
Perfect binding
Perfect binding is the technical term for what is better known as paperback or softcover binding. A familiar style, perfect binding is a visually appealing and economical bookbinding solution. Although typically used for comic books, fiction, catalogs and more, perfect binding is suitable for any genre.
Hardcover binding
Hardcover books are more durable than most other types of books. Each signature is meticulously sewn together, and end sheets are used to attach the interior pages to the hardcover casing. The hardcover can feature either a square spine or a rounded spine, providing both strength and aesthetic versatility. This robust binding method ensures longevity and a professional, elegant appearance.
Saddle stitch binding
Saddle stitching binds the pages and cover together with specially designed staples, which gives this technique its name. If your book has fewer than 64 pages, saddle stitching is a popular and economical bookbinding method that may suit your needs. Comic books, coloring books, booklets, and more often take advantage of saddle stitch binding.
Specialized "Lay Flat" Bookbinding Options
Not all books are meant only to be read. Cookbooks, textbooks, workbooks, diaries and more may need to be used frequently, propped up on a desk or work surface, and often laid completely flat. At QinPrinting, we have a range of robust, practical, book printing and binding options for just these kinds of applications.
Wire-O & spiral binding
These bindings use a technique known as “punch-and-bind”. With both, we punch or drill equally-spaced holes along one of the outer edges of the pages. We then thread a flexible wire or plastic coil through the holes. The coil holds the pages together while allowing them to turn independently even through 360° and, of course, lay completely flat.
Spiral binding is a good option for commercial reports, student workbooks, college lab books, cookbooks and recipe collections, user manuals, guides, and many other applications.
Wire-O binding is even tougher than spiral binding as it incorporates a double wire coil making it ideal for workshop manuals, textbooks, instructional guides, and other uses in which the book will be handled often, even outdoors, or deployed in tougher environments such as the factory floor or workshop.
Finishes
They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but we all do! Your book's cover is the first thing that a potential reader sees, so it must make a good impression. Someone browsing the bookstore — online or offline — is more likely to check out a book with a beautiful, intriguing, visually appealing cover. QinPrinting offers a complete range of finishing options to make your book uniquely eye-catching and attractive.
These options include:
Lamination Options
Special Finishes
Cover and Interior Materials
You have many options for paper stock to print your book at QinPrinting. Most books use gloss or matte art paper — or uncoated offset paper for interactive titles like coloring books. But you're not limited to these typical selections.
You can also choose from our specialty paper stocks such as linen finish, vellum, or other textures. Opting for a specialty stock can impact your pricing but it may be worth it to give certain projects an outstanding, unique look and feel.
Choosing paper and card stock can confuse, but our printing experts are always here to recommend the best paper selections for your book and your budget.
Why Print Books in China?
Competitive Price
To be straightforward, it's cheaper. China has the most competitive offset printing and packaging prices in the world. But being cheaper financially doesn't mean being cheaper in quality. Quite the opposite. It's the fantastic quality-to-price ratio we can offer that makes Chinese book printing services the first choice.
Leading Technology
China is a world leader in technological advances, consistently holding an edge over the competition with superior printing and binding equipment. Our book printing industry is robust and comprehensive, allowing you to print your book in any style, format, or configuration imaginable.
Skilled Workforce
China boasts a highly skilled and experienced workforce in the book printing industry. Each main machine operator receives over three years of training, ensuring they have the expertise and skills to resolve any production issues. Our dedicated and committed employees work tirelessly to meet your printing needs, delivering precision and excellence in every project.
Easy and Efficient
Communication via the Internet makes book printing in China as easy and efficient as book printing anywhere . In both cases, all your files will be created and delivered digitally, so the location of the printing facility makes no difference to the design and printing process.
Convenient Shipping
Global shipping from China is convenient and inexpensive with most shipments by airfreight or by sea. Shipping costs are a little higher, sure, and it can take a few days longer to receive your books. But these difficulties are relative. When you weigh them in the balance with the savings on production costs and the high quality of both products and services you get, you're still getting an excellent deal.
