Special work

Special work assignments are generally all tasks in bookbinding, which exceed the binding of books and magazines, regardless of the task. If any of these tasks are offered to a bookbinder at all, it depends on the operation and set up of the facility and of his or her qualifications. The most common special work assignments are the manufacture of:

• Boxes and containers in diverse shapes
• Various types of folders
• Menus and presentation material
• Albums in a variety of appending techniques
• Lamination of maps
• Archival preparation of documents
• Slipcases and caskets for books and graphics
