Theses Binding
The University of York Graduate Office recommends York Bookbinding. Being situated close to the university campus, a large amount of work is from the University of York but we undertake work from universities all over Britain.
As a student your university should give guidelines for theses preparation and binding. It is important to follow these as otherwise your work may have to be rebound.
Several types of binding are available from York Bookbinding:
Soft Bindings
Permanent Soft Binding also known as 'Perfect Bound'. These have card covers and are fan glued with P.V.A. They also have spine tape which laps onto the front and backboards by approximately 1cm.
Temporary Soft Binding. This is a cheaper version of the above, and is often used for theses that are to be bound for a short time, whilst they are checked and corrections made. The idea of these bindings is that the glue can easily be removed from the spine in order for the pages to then be hard bound.
Please note, we ask that correction pages only be added when returned for hard binding
Hard Bindings
Unless otherwise requested, these are sewn and bound to a very high standard, using the best materials and board cover, with lettering to the requested university specifications. For this type of binding, it is essential to point out if the books have photos, folded pages or printing close to the margin. Pockets can also be provided for CD's and additional information at the back.
We have a wide range of colours available. Please contact us for a colour sample sheet .
Please note that some Universities may require a specific colour or type size for the lettering. Please contact us to confirm that this can be done.
