Hardcover Binders International (HBI) and the Library Binding Institute (LBI) is the premiere information resource on hardcover binding. It exists to advocate the highest standards in quality, longevity, and durability of hardcover bound books.
Binding books with a durable and aesthetically pleasing hardcover calls for an expertise and skill set on many levels. HBI and the Library Binding Institute is celebrating 75 years of hardcover binding excellence. Building on improvements in production and quality over the years, our members, who are hardcover binders, including certified library binders, are uniquely poised to print one or 1,000 books, according to specifications, quickly and accurately. Their experience with the care and handling of quantities of one or 1,000, combined with rapid production technology, makes HBI and the Library Binding Institute members the best choice for high quality and durable hardcover binding - long runs, short runs, on demand, one-off, edition binding, as well as photo books.
