Thesis Binding

Thesis binding is a specialised business so you should be wary of ‘bookbinders’ who have no experience binding theses. It is worth shopping around as costs can vary significantly. Some companies offer an online service.

It is also a good idea to go to the library and check the inside covers of theses, to see if they contain the name of the binder. That way you get to see the quality of the finished product as well.

Please note that PhD and MPhil must adhere to GRS guidelines for  binding  (scroll down to section 7.1.9). Requirements for binding of Masters by Research theses can vary across faculties, so check with your administrative officer for details.

Below is a list of thesis binders in Melbourne and Sydney. This is by no means a complete list of thesis binders, feel free to “google” others – we make no recommendation for any particular bindery.

For DE graduate students or for those who can’t get to a bindery in person, the whole process can usually be managed by email – check with your preferred binder.

Thesis printing & binding Melbourne

Crafting a thesis is a significant milestone, and you’ve likely pondered where and how you’ll print and bind it. After all, your aim is for your thesis to make a lasting impression on your assessor. Thesis printing  is ideally handled by expert Melbourne printing services like BachelorPrint.

Thesis binding  in leather book format is top-tier, though thermal binding also presents a remarkable finish. The polished look of leather book binding sets it apart, and its various embossing options can elevate your leather-bound thesis above other printing and binding choices.

If you decide to get your leather book binding through our online Melbourne printing service, note that spring-back binding is commonly applied for the covers. Using this application method, the thesis is only attached to the front and back covers. This leads to an impairment of the longevity and sturdiness of the binding.

Nevertheless, if you are looking for a more streamlined appearance and more cost-effective printing and binding service for your thesis, the spring-back binding offers an ideal option. We highly recommend a transparent cover to showcase your title page of your thesis at first sight.

A wide range of final thesis printing and binding solutions are available via our online Melbourne printing service.

We suggest: Leather book binding  or thermal binding from our Melbourne online print shop.

Dissertation printing & binding Melbourne

Your Ph.D. thesis or dissertation is a paramount document. That’s why we suggest top-quality leather book binding for dissertation binding .

When you’re exploring printing and binding options for your dissertation, it’s vital to consider the quality standards and available upgrades. Our online Melbourne printing services offer a variety of embossing choices, corner guards, and other enhancements to ensure your final work truly stands apart. Dissertation printing  has never been more straightforward!

Note: Given that you may need multiple copies, thermal binding turns out to be the most cost-effective choice for Melbourne students needing to print and bind their dissertation.

Our tip: Opt for leather book binding with embossing or thermal binding  through our online Melbourne print shop when multiple copies are required.

Paper printing & binding Melbourne

Scientific papers are a fundamental aspect of academic research, ranging from a handful of pages to several hundred. The adaptable thermal binding provided by our Melbourne printing services online is an option worth exploring for paper binding .

The Thermal binding offers a stylish touch, while being very affordable. With a clear cover, you can highlight your front page, where the title page of your paper directly catches the eye. Note, that BachelorPrint also offers a 3D configuration on our Melbourne online print shop, which ensures your binding will be impectaxily adjusted to your document. Paper printing has never been this easy!

Spiral binding is yet another fantastic binding method available at our Melbourne online printing shop. Boasting a minimalist design, spiral binding is available in either metal or plastic comb. It can accommodate up to 300 pages, making it ideal for term or scientific papers.

Our recommendation: Choose thermal binding or spiral binding  when opting for Melbourne printing services online.

Leather book binding

Sophisticated, qualitative, impressive – that’s what the premium leather book binding by BachelorPrint’s Melbourne printing services offers!

If you are looking for top-quality binding, our Melbourne printing services provide a premium leather book binding and a standard leather book binding option you can choose from. Both options offer high quality and only differ slightly in appearance.

The distinction between the two bindings is that the premium leather book binding boasts a matte finish, enhancing the cover’s refined appearance, while the standard leather book binding  presents a more luminous finish, making the colours pop.

Our Melbourne printing services also provide enhancements for both binding types, such as embossing the front cover and spine. For instance, you might decide to emboss the cover with your name and your tertiary institution’s emblem. To further elevate the aaaesthetics of your leather book binding, consider adding a ribbon bookmark or corner protectors. These accessories are available in various shades.

The robustness and sophistication of leather book binding can transform your final paper into a cherished family keepsake.

Our suggestion: Opt for leather book binding when finalising dissertations and major papers.

Thermal binding

If you need to bind a particularly lengthy document, the thermal binding provided by our Melbourne online print shop is an ideal choice, accommodating up to 450 pages.

The clear front cover of the thermal binding highlights your title page prominently. The design is straightforward and clean, which surely captures attention.

The paper of the rear cover and spine used for the thermal binding counts as thick and textured. Furthermore, Melbourne printing services offer a selection from seven unique colours when choosing a thermal binding!

Most pick the thermal binding when shorter documents need to be produced, such as essays or research assignments. Aside from that, this kind of binding is known as very handy and cost-effective, especially when multiple copies of significant documents are required.

We suggest: Thermal binding for all scientific papers with a higher page count.

Comb Binding

Spiral binding is another standout feature of our Melbourne printing services. Often referred to as comb binding, its design is sleek and it boasts an affordable cost. Comb binding can accommodate up to 300 pages, making it perfect for shorter essays and assignments.

Our Melbourne online printing shop provides both metal spiral binding and comb binding. The front cover remains transparent, allowing your title page to be clearly visible. Select from 7 distinct colours for the rear cover of your spiral bound document.

Comb binding  and spiral binding involve precision-punched holes through every page, followed by the insertion of either a metal or plastic spiral. Not only cost-effective, but spiral binding is also the top choice when multiple copies of your academic projects are required.

We suggest: Opting for comb binding and spiral binding for concise assignments, papers and essays.
