Bookbinding is in our DNA and the art form from which our business began. Years of expertise in construction and restoration have enabled Bella Forte Designs to offer you a broad selection of uniquely built books creating additional possibilities for presentations, commemorations and marketing. Crafted to the highest standards, we offer a wide range of books styles, coverings and customization. All books are constructed using the finest materials including archival Davey board.
Case Bound Books are a traditional binding structure bound by hand sewing folded signatures then casing in a hard cover. These bindings lay flat and are ideal for books with spreads.
Perfect Bound Books are created from single sheets glued at the spine then bound to hard covers. They are a more economic solution typically used for dissertations or meeting minutes.
Japanese Bound Books are constructed with cover or text weight pages bound with ribbon for functionality and elegance. Ribbon stitching can be simple, decorative or with a bow.
Post Screw Binding is created using metal posts and screws that securely hold pages and hard covers together. Depending on the look you want the post screws can be hidden or revealed .
These are perfect for collateral or sales presentations and can be scaled large.
All three options can be customized with cover materials, branding and color.
Accordion Bound Books have hard covers with either cloth or paper coverings. Pages are fan folded from cover stock. A ribbon closure adds an elegant finish.
Booklets are typically small in scale with only a few pages. They are either sewn when their covers are built from card stock or Japanese bound with ribbon when covers are hard board covered in cloth.
