Bindings & boxes, made together

We manufacture book covers and matching boxes for publishers and printers. Your printer or binder handles printing and attaching the covers to the book blocks.

01, Books & Bindings

Genuine leather & thermo PU covers

Book covers for single volumes and multi-volume editions, in genuine calfskin or thermo PU, with deep embossing and hot foil stamping. Dimensions and colours are made to your specification. Genuine-leather covers: minimum 250 pieces.

Four quarter-leather volumes: genuine-leather spines with bookcloth boards and gold tooling
Cover construction

Quarter-leather binding

The spine is made of genuine leather, the covers are made of bookcloth.
Leather takes the strain at the spine, the most active part of the binding, while cloth resists wear on the large surfaces.

A durable, balanced choice for collected works and multi-volume sets. Foil and embossing are pressed in our workshop, exactly as on our full-leather covers.

PU cover for the Külliyât-ı Nevâyî facsimile, with embossing and foil decoration
Facsimile cover production

Facsimile covers: Külliyât-ı Nevâyî

GÜNALP produced the PU cover shown here for a facsimile edition of Ali-Shir Nava’i’s collected works. Our work did not include the book’s interior.

The Turkish Manuscripts Institution published Külliyât-ı Nevâyî in 2020, reproducing the Revan 808 manuscript held at Topkapı Palace. Publisher’s edition record.

Four magnesium dies were used: three for foil stamping and one for embossing. The challenge was achieving smooth, even foil coverage across a large surface while aligning all four impressions precisely, without displacement between passes.
