If the item is produced in individual sheets and contains heavy, glossy, coated paper, short grain paper, or stiff covers oversewing is a strong durable method to use. If the item is produced in folded sections, we recommend the sewing through the fold option. If the original sewing is intact, saving the sewing involves cleaning the old adhesive and backlining off, inspect the original sewing, and re-glue and reline the book with LBI Standard material. For an additional cost we offer two other methods depending on what fits your project best: saving the sewing and sewing through the fold. Double fan gluing is included in the basic binding.

When the supplemental material is over and does not exceed the thickness of the text block, to compensate for the space the pocket material requires a process called stubbing is used to add space to the spine of the text block. If the supplemental material is 1/4″ thick or less it can be placed in a pocket glued onto the back board of the hardcover.

The solution is to make a product called a Wraparound, which includes a bound hardcover thesis and a hard slipcase to hold the pocket material.

Occasionally there may be supplemental material included with a thesis exceeding the thickness of the textblock, which is too thick to be contained in a pocket. For the book to function well, the bound text block must be at least as thick as the supplemental material.
