FAQ

Questions before production.

Can a traditional binding be made for international distribution?

Yes. The visual language can remain traditional while materials, reinforcement and packing are engineered for repeated handling and export.

Do special bindings require a finished sample?

For unusual folds, exposed sewing or presentation boxes, a finished sample is strongly recommended before bulk production.

Can heritage books include a slipcase?

Yes. Slipcases and rigid presentation boxes can be sized after the approved book dummy to control fit and protection.
