Thesis binding
COVID-19 Update: Please note submission of paper thesis copies is currently suspended. All PGRs are required to submit their thesis electronically but the University does not require hard bound submissions at present.
You can arrange for your thesis to be bound at any binders, but the binding of your thesis and lettering on the spine must correspond with the University regulations. Binding services include:
Please note that you must bind the cover sheet generated following your electronic submission to eThesis as the first page of your thesis. You should check with the binding service how long the binding process will take. Please remember that at busy submission periods (August to September) the binding service will have a very heavy load and you should ensure that you have left sufficient time for binding your thesis.
Delays at the binders will not be accepted as a mitigating circumstance for late submission.

Dissertation Binding and Printing | Options, Tips, & Comparison
Published on September 9, 2022 by Raimo Streefkerk .
Congratulations, you’ve finally finished your dissertation . It’s been professionally proofread and checked by a solid plagiarism checker .
The final step is printing your dissertation, which means choosing between:
- Types of binding
- Color vs. black & white
Single vs. double-sided
- Paper thickness
There are a few printing and binding services to choose from as well. This article presents a few options that can help you make the right decisions.
Printing service options
Table of contents
Types of dissertation binding, dissertation printing options, production and delivery times, last checks before printing, overview of printing and binding services.
Binding keeps the pages of your dissertation together, and comes in a variety of price points. Spiral binding is cheaper, a hardcover book binding is much pricier.
The type of binding you choose can depend on:
- Guidelines from your university or department
- The version (draft vs. final)
- The type of work you’re submitting ( PhD vs. master’s thesis vs. undergraduate thesis )
Spiral binding (± $7)
- Professional appearance
- Opens flat, so browsing through the pages is easy
- Fairly inexpensive
Comb binding (± $5)
- Pages are easy to browse
- Binding can be opened and closed
- Can be cheap-looking
Fastback binding (± $8)
- Professional, book-like appearance
- Available in different colors
- Individual sheets can come loose with time
Paperback binding ($10–20)
This type of binding makes your dissertation more durable and professional. In most cases, it’s possible to add front and spine lettering.
- Durable and professional
- Book-like appearance
- Opening and browsing is less smooth than with spiral or comb binding
Hardback binding ($20–50)
- Customizable cover
- Quality comes at a price
Color vs. Black & White
Check your university’s guidelines to see if there is guidance about whether to print your dissertation in color or black & white. Note that printing in color is on average two to four times more expensive.
In general, a color-printed dissertation looks more professional, but it is often not required.
Printing double-sided is often cheaper than printing single-sided, due to the paper savings — it makes your dissertation half as thick. However, some universities require you to print your dissertation single-sided. Be sure to check the guidelines.
When printing your dissertation double-sided, pay attention to the following points:
- New chapters should start on the front side of the paper. You will need to take this into account and insert “blank pages” when preparing to print.
- Add a blank page after the title page so that the acknowledgments and abstract are not printed on the back of your title page.
- The page numbering is often placed in the bottom right on the right side of the page and bottom left on the left side. You can easily set this in Word by choosing “outside alignment”.
- Check your style guide to make sure there aren’t any rules for printing.
Paper weight
The thickness of the paper (measured in gsm or grams) is something most students don’t think about, but it does have a significant impact on the look and feel of your printed thesis or dissertation.
Standard printing paper has a weight of 75–90 gsm. For a bachelor’s or master’s dissertation, this is likely fine. If you want the paper to look and feel more professional and durable, a paper weight of 100–130 gsm is better. This is often used for PhD dissertations.
Number of copies
It is common to print three to five copies of your dissertation. Depending on your university’s guidelines, you might need to submit one to three copies to your supervisor and department. In addition, you might want to have a copy for yourself or your family.
The production time for printing and binding takes on average two days, and delivery takes at least another day. For an additional charge (ranging from +20 to +80%), the production and delivery time can be shortened.
Have a looming deadline? Your local print shop is likely able to print and bind your dissertation faster, and it eliminates delivery time. However, keep in mind that this is often a little more expensive.
Before sending your dissertation to a print shop, there are three things you should do:
- Save your file as a PDF By saving your file as a PDF, the formatting will be consistent on every computer. This way you prevent any unpleasant surprises, such as offset pages, when receiving your printed product.
- Check for language mistakes There’s nothing worse than finding a language mistake in your printed version. Make sure to proofread your dissertation or make use of a professional proofreading service .
- Update the contents page Before saving your dissertation as a PDF, don’t forget to update the table of contents and cross-check the page numbers listed there with the actual page numbers.
The table below provides an overview of two popular dissertation printing and binding shops, including information on delivery costs and review score.
*Prices are based on a spiral-bound dissertation of 40 pages , printed single-sided , in black , on 80-90gsm paper, including a clear outer front and back cover .
**Prices are based on a hardback-bound dissertation of 200 pages , printed single-sided , in black , on 90-100gsm paper.

A thesis is a rather significant paper when it comes to final papers. No doubt you’ve been tossing and turning, wondering how and where you will print and bind your thesis so that it will leave a good impression on your examiner.

Leather book binding is the elegant way to go for thesis binding , but so is thermal binding. Leather book binding looks professional, making it stand out. Leather book binding also comes with many embossing options; therefore, leather book binding looks the most impressive of all the printing and binding options.
Are you wanting to have your leather book binding produced by the online Manchester printing service? Note that springback binding, the standard binding for this type of cover, does not ensure the longevity and durability of your paper.

Thermal binding is sleeker and less expensive when printing and binding a thesis. We recommend a clear cover, so readers can read your cover page. There is quite a range of options for printing and binding your thesis with the online Manchester printing services.

Leather book bindings come in premium and standard binding, both of which are great to use for your final paper when it comes to quality; it’s up to you.
Unlike standard leather book binding, premium leather book binding has a matte finish, which tones down the colour of the cover. The finish on a standard leather book binding is glossier; colours look brighter.
Our Manchester printing services offers upgrades for both, plus front cover and spine embossing. You can add your name, the logo of your university or college, etc. To make your leather book binding have a bigger impact, try a ribbon bookmark or corner protectors, both available in various colours.

Thesis Binding
Thesis Book Binding or Dissertation Book Binding is the conversion of your thesis or dissertation document into a printed and bound book format. Getting this done correctly involves several considerations that includes the Submission of your document for printing and binding, your choice of Paper, and the Style of binding you want.
SUBMITTING YOUR THESIS OR DISSERTATION FOR BINDING:
The first consideration for Thesis Book Binding or Dissertation Book Binding is whether you want your thesis or dissertation printed and bound for official submission or for your personal use, such as gifts to professors, departments, libraries, parents, sponsors, or you just want copies to preserve for future generations.
If you are officially submitting your Thesis Book Binding or Dissertation Book Binding books to your
institution, you must follow their official guidelines for paper, margins, and type of binding. Every institution has
guidelines and your can ask your department or your graduate studies department for the guidelines. The quote/
ordering process for each of our 3 main types of binding is designed to accommodate all the options that most
schools require.
Binding Options Our 3 main binding options are:
- Fabric Hardcover Binding with Foil Lettering and Decoration on the cover https://phdbookbinding.com/fabric-hard-cover/
- Printed Hardcover Binding with wraparound full color printing on the cover https://phdbookbinding.com/printed-hard-cover/
- Perfect Binding Softcover with wraparound full color printing on the cover https://phdbookbinding.com/perfect-binding/
But if you’re getting the books for personal use, then you have the option to choose the type of paper, binding and margin size that you prefer. Here again, our quote/order process contains all the options you might want.
Digital or Paper Submission

You have the option to place your order with a PDF file or with a paper document. Submitting a PDF file ( https://phdbookbinding.com/digital-printing/#2 ) of your Thesis or Dissertation allows you to do the following online, sit back and forget about it, and receive your books in the mail:
- Specify the size of your book
- Choose the type of paper you want for printing ( https://phdbookbinding.com/digital-printing/#9 )
- Specify the pages you want to print in color. ( https://phdbookbinding.com/faq/#9 ) Yes, we allow you to specify the pages you want to print in color and you’ll be charged the color rate ONLY for the pages you specify,NOT for all the pages in your document.

PAPER CHOICE
The second consideration for Thesis Book Binding or Dissertation Book Binding is choosing the type of paper that you want. We offer 5 types of paper as listed below and as explained here in greater detail ( https://phdbookbinding.com/digital-printing/ )
20lb regular or standard Copy Paper. This paper is ACID-FREE and is white in color. It does not have a watermark. Acid Free paper is made from wood pulp, and it resists yellowing and brittleness over very long periods (measured in centuries). The production of Acid Free paper is also more environmentally friendly than acidic paper.
60lb regular or standard Copy Paper (also known as 24lb Copy Paper)*. This paper is ACID-FREE and is white in color. It does not have a watermark. Acid Free paper is made from wood pulp, and it resists yellowing and brittleness over very long periods (measured in centuries).
