Swindon bookbinders products all handmade by English craftsmen the old fashioned way at our bindery located in Swindon, Wiltshire.

The following are some photos taken at our bindery showing photo albums being made by hand.

Once the chosen material has been selected the next stage is to cut the cover material to the correct size.

We have a wide range of cover materials and covers to choose from

At this stage the cover has been made and the gold blocking has been added.

This is an old fashioned foil blocking machine in use.

Once the blocking has been added the cover is ready for the interior.

This album has a gold effect frame on the front cover.

You can have your own text, company name, logo and more blocked on to the cover of your products. This is one of our brass blocking die sets.

This is a close up of one of our fashioned hot foil machines used to add lettering to albums.

This is a collection of covers that have recently been finished and are waiting to dry before the interior pages are inserted.
