Bring your story to life with professional custom hardcover book printing services
Our hardcover book printing services bring bookstore-quality finish to any project. Utilizing advanced PUR binding, a superior form of adhesive binding, we produce hardcover books that are both rugged and elegant. We offer six versatile trim size options to suit your specific needs, including Demy, Half Letter, and A4 - perfect for large-format photo books. Our streamlined printing service also allows you to choose from various internal paper stock options, including 60 lb, 70 lb, and 80 lb text weights in matte or silk finishes.
Unlike a standard paperback, our case-bound books feature a rigid 2000 micron grayboard core wrapped in a customizable, laminated cover, providing that unmistakable "library feel" and a professional edge.

Hardcover book printing frequently asked questions
Get the essential details on how to print a book with a durable case-bound finish. This section covers technical requirements, binding methods, and customization options to help you prepare your file for our book printing services.
The required page count for a hardcover book depends on the thickness of your chosen paper, but minimums start at 30 single sided pages, up to a maximum of 520 double sided pages.
Because the hard case adds significant bulk, we recommend checking the "Product Spec" tab to see how your specific paper choice affects the spine width. If your project falls below the minimum page count, we suggest considering a paperback or a hardback wire-bound alternative.
We use PUR (Polyurethane Reactive) binding for all our hardcover book printing. This is a high-strength form of perfect binding where the interior pages are glued into the rigid cover spine. PUR is significantly more durable than traditional adhesives, meaning your pages won't fall out even with frequent use.
While this provides a sturdy, professional spine, please note that these books are not designed to lay completely flat; for lay-flat needs, we recommend our wire-bound hardcover option.
Absolutely. Our custom hardcover book printing allows for full-color printing on the front, back, and spine. You can upload a single wrap-around PDF or use our online tools to ensure your titles are perfectly centered on the spine. To protect your book and enhance its appearance, we offer different lamination finishes, including a soft touch matte that provides a velvety, luxurious feel.
We print hardcover books in a variety of popular sizes to ensure your book fits standard retail shelves, including Demy, Half Letter, Letter, Royal, A4 and A5. Whether you need a small pocket-sized reference or a large landscape photobook, our printing service can accommodate your vision. Take care to select the correct format in our quote tool to see how it affects your total price.
One of the best features of Doxzoo's book printing is our "no minimum" policy. You can order a single one-off copy for a personal gift or a short run of 1,000+ copies for a commercial launch. This flexibility makes us an ideal partner for authors who want to see a physical proof before committing to a larger print run. Plus, all orders over $250 qualify for free shipping across all 50 US states.
We do not recommend this product should you want to lay the book flat. For this feature we would recommend Wire, Comb, Velo or Hardback wire binding.
