Frequently Asked Questions about textile materials for bookbinders

Which bookbinding textile materials are included in our offer?

Headbands, bookmark ribbons, elastic bands for notebooks and planners, and bookbinding threads. The selection depends on the product format and the effect you want to achieve.

What is bookbinding headband (kapitałka) and what is it used for?

A headband is a finishing element applied to the top and bottom of the book block spine. It enhances the appearance of the binding and helps protect the spine edges.

What is a bookmark ribbon used for?

A bookmark ribbon makes it easy to quickly find your place in a book, notebook, or planner. It also enhances the perceived quality of the product.

How do you choose the color of a bookmark ribbon?

Most often, it is matched to the cover, branding, or other accessories (e.g., headbands). A consistent color palette throughout the project is considered good practice.

How do you choose the bookmark ribbon width for a given format?

For smaller formats, narrower ribbons usually work better, while wider ones are preferred for larger or premium projects. The width should be chosen so that it is proportional to the spine and the overall binding. The most commonly selected satin ribbons are 3 mm or 6 mm wide. Other available widths include 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, and 15 mm. Woven-structure ribbons are available in 5 mm, and in some projects, 7 mm is also used.

How do you choose an elastic band for a notebook or planner?

The elastic band should hold the product closed securely without deforming the cover. Its width, elasticity, and abrasion resistance are the key factors.

Which bookbinding thread should you choose for sewing the book block?

The choice depends on the sewing method (hand or machine), the type of paper, and the required durability. If the thread is visible, it’s a good idea to match its color to the design.

Can I order samples of the textile materials?

Yes—samples allow you to assess the color and texture and match the accessories to the cover and paper before ordering.

Small shade variations may occur between textile batches. We make every effort to ensure that our products are as consistent in color as possible.
