Binding and Finishing
Walsworth understands that readers DO judge books by their covers, and it’s often the first impression created by a cover that determines whether a publication gets picked up at all.
That’s why Walsworth has developed many binding and a wide offering of cover treatment capabilities. We want the cover of your book, catalog or magazine to stand out. And we have developed quality processes to ensure that your publication’s binding stands up over time.
