Our thesis binding is all done by hand and to university regulations, using our standing metal type to foil block the details of your thesis onto the spine. Your books can be either hard or soft bound and you can choose to have the pages printed in either black and white or colour.

We also cater for more unique thesis binding options for students who perhaps have more leeway to experiment with binding and printing options for their thesis. This could involve everything from using slightly more unusual papers to binding using more modern techniques. As these projects are much more bespoke they are evaluated on a job-by-job basis and priced accordingly.

We offer a range of different turnaround times and prices which can be seen below.

If you would like to talk to us about an upcoming project then please don’t hesitate to call us on 020 7923 5960 or email us at sales@barnardandwestwood.com
