Binding and Cover styles
We offer a full range of binding and cover styles, to ensure that you can choose the right option to you. Softback binding is included as standard in our base prices, or you can opt for hardback binding, which is available for an additional cost.
Take a look at the next two tabs to find out more about softback and hardback binding and cover styles available.
