Schools and churches can save money by rebinding the worn textbooks and hymnals instead of purchasing new ones. Books rebound at Mechling Bookbindery last as much as four times longer than the original bindings! This is possible because of the extra steps we take in our binding process, much of which is done by hand, and because of the high quality of materials we use.
All books are resewn with thread (not stapled) and glued twice. For additional strength we apply a strong cloth back-liner that wraps around the spine and connects both cover boards. The new book covers are made with heavy-weight 100-point boards, encased with full-color printed Kivar and laminated for extra protection. Kivar is a heavy, tough material made from paper fibers and latex. It is extremely hard to tear, unlike most book covers that are made from plain paper. We believe that a quality, more durable binding is worth the added cost.
We scan and print most covers from the original books. If the original covers are not available or not suitable, we will substitute with the theme printed covers (below).
LIBRARY BOOKS
Library books can be rebound in a variety of ways. We offer standard cloth bindings with title and author stamped on the spine. Cloth bindings printed with the image of the original book on the front cover are attractive, durable and affordable. Softcover books can be bound in hardcover with the original cover glued onto the front.
