Smyth Sewing
Smyth sewing is a process of sewing threads through punched signature folds to create a strong and durable spine. This manufacturing method provides a flexible binding which enables a book to open easily and lie flat. Smyth sewn books are designed to take prolonged stress and remain intact through their lifetime.
The Midwest Editions Difference
The bindery floor at Midwest Editions boasts three automated smyth sewing machines to provide optimum strength and durability for all types of projects in a variety of sizes.
