Characteristics of soft-hardcover book printing

The books processed and produced by hardcover technology are exquisite, beautiful, firm, durable and easy to preserve. Generally, thicker classic books or common reference books are processed by this binding form. Soft hardcover is derived from hardcover. Because hardcover books are not easy to carry, the hard cover of hardcover books is changed to soft cover. This binding method not only inherits the binding style of hardcover books, but also greatly reduces the binding cost of books. It is especially suitable for binding dictionaries, reference books, manuals, notebooks and other objects. It is a convenient and fast paperback hardcover method.


The production cost of hardcover books is high, and the selling price is relatively higher than that of paperback books. Generally speaking, hardcover technology is usually used for important books with a large number of pages, beautiful requirements, frequent use and long-term preservation. From the appearance, hardcover book printing can be divided into round back, square back and soft surface.


The covers of hardcover books are soft and hard. Hardcover books are large and medium-sized books with covers made of paper, fabric and other materials pasted on cardboard, which are suitable for reading on the table. Soft hardcover books are made of tough plastic, kraft paper, whiteboard or paperboard instead of cardboard, which reduces the weight of books and is easy to carry and read. At the same time, the soft cover makes people feel comfortable. It is most suitable for medium-sized and pocket books that need to be read frequently.


The main feature of soft hardcover books relative to hard hardcover books is that there is no need to make a book case when binding, and the cover can be directly used. The binding process is relatively simple, and the price is reduced by about half, which has a certain price advantage. Compared with paperback books, the floating mouth of soft hardcover books can better protect the book block, and string binding is adopted, which is not easy to scatter pages after reading the book block for a long time, which is conducive to long-term preservation.


Soft hardcover technology is widely used. Many Bibles are our most common soft hardcover books. China's soft and hardcover books are mainly stitched.
