Box making is another skill of the bookbinder.

For nearly every book or object a matching box, slipcase or other type of protection is available.

Boxes can be made to:

  • preserve or transport a new book
  • hold photos to create a combination of the album and the box
  • preserve old and antiquarian books or important documents such as diplomas
  • protect single sheets of paper such as sketches, etchings, (children’s) drawings or engravings,
  • enhance and compliment a design binding.
