Hardback bindings

When you choose the hardback binding option, you can emboss the title, university logo, type of work, or a custom design on the cover. BachelorPrint utilizes a special embossing process in which each individual letter or the university logo is fused onto the cover using heat. You can find more information about hardback bindings below.

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.

FAQs

Hardcover binding is ideal for larger and more important works. With its book-like appearance and sturdy cover, your work will stand out. You can choose the “hardcover” option at our high-quality online print shop to bind your book.

A premium hardback binding with 20 pages and additional embossing costs only $64.80, 45% less than other market prices. Plus, at BachelorPrint, your order is delivered for free. We use 100 gsm premium paper as standard for printing and set the same price for color and black/white printing. You can calculate the exact price for printing and binding your thesis at the print shop.

The table below shows different book thicknesses for hardback binding based on paper grade and number of pages. We recommend 120 gsm paper for double-sided printing, and you can print up to 470 sides with it. 100 gsm paper can print up to 500 sides. Head to the print shop, upload your thesis and use the 3D configurator to see the final look. Here are the book thickness guidelines:

  • 20–70 pages with 100 gsm, 21–55 pages with 120 gsm = 10 mm
  • 70–120 pages with 100 gsm, 56–105 pages with 120 gsm = 13 mm
  • 121–170 pages with 100 gsm, 106–155 pages with 120 gsm = 19 mm
  • 171–250 pages with 100 gsm, 156–235 pages with 120 gsm = 25 mm

The main difference is how their cover feels:

  • Standard hardback binding: shiny and smooth surface
  • Premium hardback binding: soft and textured faux leather look

 

Both of these bindings are capable of being embossed with the title of your dissertation, thesis, or Ph.D. This process is commonly known as hardback binding embossing.

Hardback binding is primarily used for larger and more significant pieces of work. Thanks to its book-like appearance and high-quality, robust cover, your work will stand out from the rest. We recommend hardback binding for the following types of academic work:

  • Thesis
  • Ph.D.
  • Dissertation

The hardback binding is made up of two cardboard sheets and a spine that are then covered with faux leather. Afterward, the pages are glued together and attached to the binding. Note that the material differs between premium and standard hardback binding!

To take a look at your customized thesis, refer to our online print shop.
