Softcover with metal spine

Softcover binding with metal spine is a cheaper alternative to hardcover binding. The binding contains a metal spine in black or white, a transparent matte cover film, and a thicker backing board. With this option, the title page of the work is visible. Alternatively, you can choose a cardboard for the cover page, which we print for you.

The metal spine makes this type of binding more stable and durable than a traditional glue binding with a linen ribbon. Your thesis will be printed on 100 g satin premium paper in color and/or black and white. You can choose between 2 different colors for the spine and 6 different colors for the back cover.

    Extras & borderless printing


    Borderless printing is suitable for documents where graphics/photos go right to the edge. In this case, an overfiller of 3mm is useful. Without borderless printing, a white margin of approx. 5-8mm is created. Make sure that important information is 5-8mm away from the edge.

    A3 pages are specially folded 2x and bound so that you can fold them outwards. If you have more than 20 A3 pages, the book will be larger on the outside and will not look as good.

You pay with us only after you have received the books without any risk. Either with bank transfer when you pick up the books in the store or on account after delivery or pickup from the pickup box.

  • You are near Vienna? Ideal then come by our store during opening hours or flexibly 24/7 across the street at our pick-up boxes.
  • We also ship daily and you will usually receive your books within 2 days, EMS also next day. However, the post office reserves longer delivery times under certain circumstances.

When printing double-sided, please make sure that the odd page numbers are always on a right-hand book page. If this is not the case, simply insert a blank page somewhere at the beginning (before the numbering).

The page numbers should also always be set either on the outside or in the center so that they do not disappear in the gutter (bound page). In Word, simply select "outside" for alignment.

Please also note the edge distance in the waistband. The margin in the waistband (where it is bound) should be at least 2.5cm (optimally 3cm). If the margin is not the same on both sides, then please choose the larger margin distance in the waistband (e.g. 3cm on the left and 2cm on the right) - on the reverse side (i.e. page number straight) exactly the opposite.

With a coil binding, the margin can also be smaller since you can
you can open the book completely.

With us you can save - we charge the b/w and color pages separately. You can specify your color pages, or let the printer automatically
determined by the printer. You simply enter the color pages using the PDF page number (top left in the document) with a comma and without spaces (1,3 5,7-10...). If you want to avoid an incorrect specification you can also let the printer determine your color pages automatically
by the printer. But make sure that gray colors or hyperlinks are always set as black, otherwise they will be printed as color, which can lead to higher costs. You will be charged according to the actual pages.
