Hard Cover Book Printing

Also Known As Case Bound, Hardback or Hardcover Binding
Professional Look. Premium Feel. Printed Fast in Melbourne.

Want to give your content the premium treatment it deserves? Our Hard Cover Books—also known as Case Bound, Hardcover, or Hardback Books—are built for impact and longevity. Whether you’re publishing a novel, preparing a corporate report, or showcasing your creative portfolio, these books combine durability with a high-end, professional finish.

At Same Day Printing, we specialise in fast-turnaround hard cover books—designed to meet the needs of business clients, agencies, and professionals working to tight deadlines. With strong binding, crisp edges, and vibrant full-colour printing, your book will feel as polished as it looks.


Designed for Business. Built to Impress.

Our hard cover book solutions have been tailored to meet the demands of corporate and business-to-business projects, especially those with urgent timelines. While we’re developing more options for the future, our current solution includes:

  • A durable matt synthetic cover stock – professionally printed in full colour process and designed for resilience.

  • Please note: Gloss, velvet soft-touch laminates, embossing, and debossing are not yet available—but we’re working on expanding these soon.

The current solution delivers a clean, contemporary finish that protects your content while maintaining a premium feel for presentations, proposals, and publications.


Professional Finish That Lasts

Each book is perfectly bound using a strong yet flexible adhesive along the spine, creating a sharp, square-edged look. It’s the same polished appearance you’d expect from top-tier publishing houses—and it holds up to frequent handling in boardrooms, showrooms or exhibitions.


Popular Uses for Hard Cover Books

  • Annual Reports & Company Profiles – Impress stakeholders with a polished, executive finish.

  • Premium Sales Presentations – Deliver proposals or corporate pitches with a sophisticated, hard cover edge.

  • High-End Real Estate Sales Brochures – Showcase luxury property listings in a format that reflects their value.

  • Premium Product Catalogues – Elevate your offering with tactile, high-impact print.

  • Author-Published Novels – Late minute launch or an event, display your book with confidence and quality.

  • Photography & Art Portfolios – Showcase visual work in a durable, high-quality format—perfect for last minute portfolios and presentations. (Please note: these are not section sewn, so while they’re great for general handling and display, they’re not suited for layflat coffee table books.)

  • Thesis & Academic Submissions – Present your ideas in a professional, archive-friendly style.

  • Commemorative Books & Family Histories – Capture memories in a beautiful keepsake.

  • Last Minute Wedding Books & Gifts – Create a heartfelt, premium-quality wedding album, guestbook, or keepsake—even on a tight deadline.

Quick Tip:

Our hard cover books offer a sturdy, display-worthy finish—perfect for professional use or gifting. However, they are not section sewn, so they don’t open fully flat like layflat books, which are better suited for full-bleed image spreads and premium coffee table formats.

However, depending on our current print schedules, we might be able to accommodate same-day requests with lamination. Please call us directly to check availability for this service.

Perfect binding is a method where the pages and cover are glued together at the spine with a strong yet flexible adhesive. This results in a smooth and sleek spine, allowing the book to open flat. The advantage of perfect binding is that it provides a professional, clean look, making it perfect for novels, reports, photo books, and more. It’s a popular choice for its aesthetic appeal and practical functionality.

Perfect binding offers several advantages. It allows for a higher page count, creates a professional and clean-looking product, and is cost-effective for larger print runs. This binding method is ideal for its durability and the ability to accommodate detailed spine designs, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the book.
