Hardcover binding is the highest quality binding when it comes to printing and binding your thesis or dissertation. The premium hardcover possesses a structured matte surface with a leather-look finish and is available in four different colors. Additional refinements to make the premium hardcover your own include customized embossing on the front cover and spine, a ribbon bookmark, and book corners.
Whether for submission or as a keepsake, custom premium hardcover is the ideal binding for your thesis or dissertation, from a senior or honors thesis to a master’s thesis or dissertation.
Premium hardcover is the highest-quality binding when printing and binding your thesis or dissertation. The structured matte cover with its leather-look has an elegant look and feel while also providing the durability necessary for a long-lasting binding. Personalized with a custom embossing, the premium hardcover represents the value of your thesis or dissertation and the years of work that went into it.
Note: Hardcover is also available as standard hardcover, offering the same features and configuration options but with a slightly glossy finish instead of a matte one. Unfortunately, Standard Hardcover is currently only available in A-formats.
Configure Your Hardcover The Way You Want It
The binding of your thesis or dissertation stands for far more than a stack of printed pages. It represents years of hard work, months of researching, writing, and formatting, and the academic milestone you’ve reached. That’s why your work deserves a high-quality, durable binding, configured exactly the way you want it.
At BachelorPrint, you’ll find a wide range of premium customization options, proven across thousands of printed theses and dissertations, to create a binding that does justice to everything you’ve achieved.
1
Front Cover Embossing
Embossing the type of thesis or dissertation on the front cover of your hardcover is free of charge. You can also choose between standard embossing with a fixed layout (including the year, author, title, type of work, and your university’s logo and name) or custom embossing with a layout you design yourself.
2
Custom Embossing Design
Custom embossing allows you to freely design the layout and elements of your embossing. You can position each element individually on the front cover of your dissertation’s or thesis hardcover and even incorporate multiple logos. To help you design your embossing, you can also use one of our templates in our shop.
3
Your University’s Logo
Embossing your university’s logo is included in standard embossing. In our shop, you can easily select the logo you want embossed from a wide selection of university, college, and institute logos we have on file. With custom embossing, you can also have multiple logos embossed on your cover.
4
Spine Embossing
The embossing on the spine includes the year, the author, and the type of thesis or dissertation, creating a professional and high-quality overall impression of your bound thesis or dissertation. You can also choose the spine orientation. Tip: In the U.S., it is customary for the text on the spine to run from top to bottom.
5
Premium Ribbon Bookmark
The hardcover of your thesis or dissertation can be fitted with a ribbon bookmark in various colors (e.g., gold or silver), offering aesthetic and practical benefits. A popular choice is a ribbon in the color of your embossing to create a cohesive look.
6
Durable Metal Book Corners
Book corners protect the corners of your hardcover from wear and tear. Book corners are available in various colors (gold, silver, or black) and should be matched to the color of your the embossing and the ribbon bookmark to create a cohesive overall look.
Refined Cover Colors
Hardcover is available in 4 different colors: dark blue, black, dark green, and bordeaux red. When selecting colors, BachelorPrint deliberately offers a limited range of colors that are well-established in the academic world to provide only colors that are appropriate for the binding of your dissertation or thesis.
Paperback is a high-quality flexible binding when it comes to printing and binding your thesis or dissertation, as the printable paper cover allows you to fully customize your binding. This gives you the option to customize your paperback with a themed design that matches your dissertation or thesis, a collegiate design that matches your college or university, or to create a single-color cover in the color of your choice. After printing, the paper cover is coated with a thin foil to make the binding of your thesis or dissertation more durable and long-lasting.

To say I’m over the moon with BachelorPrint is an understatement. I spent hours trawling the internet for a printing company that offered corner borders, personalised cover design AND a ribbon - this was only one I could find.

The ordering process was smooth and the “3D Preview” is a game-changer. I ordered a few as gifts and they look incredible. I can’t fault B.P and would recommend them to anyone.

The delivery was impressively fast, with tracking available every step of the way. The package even came with gummies, which were a thoughtful and delicious surprise! Highly recommend to anyone looking to celebrate their thesis with a beautifully bound copy. #paperofthemonth

For printing and binding your thesis, we recommend the hardcover. The hardcover combines high quality with durability, making it an excellent choice as a keepsake or for submitting your thesis. To personalize your hardcover, you can add custom embossing on the front cover and spine, a ribbon bookmark, and book corners. As an alternative to the hardcover, the paperback is a popular choice for printing and binding theses. The foil-laminated, printable paper cover can be customized with a unique design, a single color of your choice, or your university’s colors.
When it comes to printing and binding your dissertation, a hardcover binding is always the right choice. The sturdy cover of the premium hardcover, with its textured, matte, leather-look finish, conveys the significance of your dissertation and reflects the effort you’ve put into it. Enhanced with custom embossing on the cover and spine, a ribbon bookmark, and book corners, the premium hardcover is particularly well-suited for prestigious, long-lasting copies.
The cost of printing and binding your thesis consists of the price of your chosen binding option, the per-page rate, and any additional configurations, while color printing and express delivery are free at BachelorPrint. BachelorPrint always prioritizes quality and prints your thesis exclusively on high-quality paper for $0.55 per page. The prices for the binding options are as follows:
Free express shipping, which includes free express production, allows your printed dissertation to be delivered within two days if you place your order by 11 o'clock.

BachelorPrint uses 20 lb paper for all theses and dissertations that are printed and bound in US letter format. Optionally, you can also choose 27 lb paper for printing. The 20 lb paper is ideal for single-sided printing; for double-sided printing or if you want a thicker, higher-quality paper for your thesis, you should use the 27 lb paper.
The highest-quality paper available at BachelorPrint is 32-lb paper, which is currently only available in A-series sizes.
At BachelorPrint, you do not need to select specific pages for color printing. Your entire dissertation will be printed in color at no extra charge. We print your dissertation exactly as it appears in your PDF. This means that all colored elements will automatically be printed in color.
Yes, you can have your thesis printed single-sided or double-sided at BachelorPrint. You can easily select the double-sided printing option in our shop. Just keep in mind that double-sided printing requires paper with a higher paper weight to prevent the text on the back from showing through.
