What is flexibound?

Flexibound is a type of book binding that combines elements of both paperback and hardcover binding. The cover of a flexibound book is made of a flexible material, typically a high-quality paper or cardstock that is thick and durable, like a hardcover book. However, unlike a hardcover book, the spine of a flexibound book is not rigid and can be easily bent or flexed, similar to a paperback.

Flexibound books are often incredibly versatile and offer a more affordable alternative to traditional hardcover books. The binding style allows for the book to lay flat when opened, making it easier to read and reference. Additionally, flexibound books are more lightweight and easier to transport than hardcover books.

Overall, flexibound binding offers the best of both worlds, combining the durability and sturdiness of a hardcover book with the flexibility and convenience of a paperback book. It has become a popular choice for publishers who want to create a premium, high-quality product that is also practical and user-friendly.
