Singer sewn binding is something most printers do not offer and even fewer promote. Visible coloured thread runs along the spine creating a handcrafted look that is hard to achieve any other way.

The finish is genuinely impressive. Singer sewn costs more than standard binding methods and turnaround is longer. If you want something that looks considered and crafted, this is worth the investment.

One thing worth knowing: the thread colour is a design decision, not an afterthought. The stitching is prominent and visible along the spine so choosing a colour that contrasts with your cover turns the binding itself into a feature. Get in touch and we will talk through colour options before production starts.
