FAQ:
1. What is Smyth sewn binding?
In Smyth sewn binding, pages are folded, gathered, sewn, and glued into a cover to form a squared-off spine. Smyth sewn binding is the preferred binding method for graphic novels, trade paperbacks, softcover children's books, catalogs, literary journals, and quarterly magazines.
2. How is it made?
In traditional perfect binding, sheets are printed, folded, and assembled into their proper page order. From there, the side of the book block is cut off, and the pages are glued into a cover to form a squared-off spine.
However, this methodology leads to Smyth sewn books that don't open flat, and with pages that can fall out over time.
We use a more sophisticated method, where instead of cutting the book block, the pages are smyth sewn together before being glued into the cover. This methodology provides a far more durable finished product, since the pages are both sewn and glued, and the books can open much flatter, so much less content is lost in the gutter between pages.
3. What are its design considerations?
It's important to note that because the book block is glued into the cover, Smyth sewn books have 10 millimeters of area on their inside covers that will be glued to the first (and last) inside page.
This means that all artwork on the inside covers, as well as the first and last inside page, should be kept at least 10mm away from the spine.
Cover Design: Because Smyth sewn projects have a spine width that varies based on number of pages and paper weight, every Smyth sewn cover has different size requirements. You can use our Smyth sewn cover layout guide to design your cover.
4. How long does their production time need?
After being sent to press, Smyth sewn projects take 7-10 days to manufacture, after which they are shipped out to you via your chosen shipping method. The final delivery time is determined by your proofing and shipping options
