Smith-Shattuck Bookbinding

Thesis binding styles.

Library Standard Binding (Buckram) The least expensive book we offer is the library standard binding. This is machine oversewn, with a black buckram cloth cover binding of acid-free construction. Your last name and date of degree are gold stamped on the spine. This is the binding style that graduate students need in order to meet the requirements for a Doctorate at Princeton University. It is also attractive enough for presentation to advisors or undergraduate thesis submissions.

Books up to ½-inch thick are made with a square (unrounded) spine. We round and back the spine for sizes above ½ an inch.

Buckram Roundback Binding The buckram roundback binding includes all the features of our library binding process. In addition, we gold foil stamp the book’s title and your full name on the front cover along with a separator line between the title and name. On the spine we will put your last name and date of degree, along with decorative double lines at the top and bottom of the spine. Our stamping design can be varied to meet the requirements of your school. Stamping colors available include gold, silver, copper, white, black, red and blue.

What are the costs for dissertation printing?

The most important factor for most students when it comes to dissertation printing is the price. The price includes factors such as the type of binding and the number of pages when printing and binding your dissertation. You can calculate the exact price for your dissertation printing beforehand in our print shop .

Would you like to print your dissertation, for instance, with 20 pages, and then bind it with the premium leather binding with additional embossed details? The estimated cost is $64.80. This is 45% less compared to other market prices! Plus: with BachelorPrint, your order is delivered for free!

At BachelorPrint, we use 100 g/m² premium paper as standard for printing and set the same price for color and black/white printing.

Where can I order my dissertation binding?

To have your dissertation printed and bound, you can either go to a copy shop or simply order your dissertation binding online. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

One advantage of the print shop is that you can conveniently place your order from home. You configure your binding and then look at the end product using our 3D live preview. Then simply order and get your order delivered the next day for free.

Which paper to use for printing and binding a dissertation?

For works, such as dissertations, either 80 g/m² paper or 100 g/m² paper is used. At BachelorPrint we use 100 g/m² paper as our standard, as it is not only more robust but also feels better when you browse through the dissertation. However, if you want to print and bind your dissertation on both sides, we recommend that you use 120 g/m² paper to ensure that the text does not show through.

If you want to know more about the right paper for your dissertation, follow this link to our blog post: Which paper for dissertation printing & binding?

Which type of binding is recommended for a dissertation?

Dissertation Binding and Printing | Options, Tips, & Comparison

Published on September 9, 2022 by Raimo Streefkerk . Revised on July 18, 2023.

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, other interesting articles.

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 )
Drafts Bachelor’s thesis Master’s thesis PhD Dissertation

Spiral binding (± $7)

Spiral bound

  • Professional appearance
  • Opens flat, so browsing through the pages is easy
  • Fairly inexpensive

Comb binding (± $5)

Comb bound

  • Pages are easy to browse
  • Binding can be opened and closed
  • Can be cheap-looking

Fastback binding (± $8)

fastback bound

  • Professional, book-like appearance
  • Available in different colors
  • Individual sheets can come loose with time

Paperback binding ($10–20)

paperback bound

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)

hardback bound

  • 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.

Thesis & Dissertation Printing

Book1one will give your thesis or dissertation the professional look it deserves..

If you are looking for a world class company to print and bind your thesis or dissertation, you will find that Book1One will give your document the high quality attention it requires and deserves. Graduate students from all over the country have used our services, and we are listed at many colleges and universities as a reliable resource for hardcover and softcover thesis and dissertation book printing. 

We understand that theses and dissertations comprise a special category in the book publishing world. They represent the culmination of a large body of work and achievement at a very high academic level – and are recognized symbols of professional accomplishment.

Cloth and Faux Leather Color Choices:

thesis binding business

NOTE: Colors may not display accurately due to differences in monitor settings

Why choose Book1One to print your thesis or dissertation?

  • We offer a number of cover options.  At Book1One, you can select from three cover options for hardcover books: a full-color printed cover, a cloth cover with foil stamping, or a faux (imitation) leather cover with foil stamping. The cloth and faux leather book coverings come in four different colors: black, navy blue, dark red, and green. The color choices are shown in the right side on this webpage. Foil stamping, printed on the front cover and spine, can be either a gold or silver color. Softcover theses and dissertations come with a full color printed cover.
  • We have no minimum quantity requirements.  In most instances, the number of printed copies needed for a thesis or dissertation are low. The size of thesis/dissertation orders we receive vary from a high of around ten to a low of one copy. We can print as many or as few copies of your thesis or dissertation at an affordable price and with the same amount of attention we give to larger book orders.

We can offer you a special service regarding foil stamping.

If your foil stamping involves basic text and numbers, such as book title, author’s name, school and date, Book1One can assemble your cover for you at no additional cost to use. If you wish us to provide this service to you, when you place your order, upload a PDF file indicating what you would like printed on your front cover and spine and approximate positioning. We will fit and center the type using the Time New Roman font. For more on foil stamping click  here .

Get an instant price quote without having to call or email!

Book1One is one of very few book manufacturers who has a website price calculator that will enable you to obtain an accurate price quote without having to place a phone call or submit an email. It’s fast, easy, and our customers love it!

Simply insert the specifications of your book project and, with one click, see what the price of your project will be.

Placing your order is as easy as 1-2-3!

Hi. Ordered my wife's PhD Thesis to be bound, all 336 pages, last week. It's arrived! We are so pleased with the quality and service. Thank you. Stephen, Lynn and Mabel the dog. One happy house.

Thank you very much for the binding. I have received the thesis and it is very well done.

Kind regards, Kevin

I binded my dissertation in 2021, and I am totally satisfied with the result! It is beautifully binded and very proud of the book!

What fantastic service, and what a great finished product. Iain was brilliant in ironing out a few glitches (caused by me tbh). I can't praise him or the service provided highly enough. If you want your thesis bound professionally you've found the right place.

Just received my bound dissertation from Helix. I had to write this brief message to say thank you so much, it is absolutely stunning. The service, quality, and simplicity of the process is amazing. I cannot recommend your company enough, I will definitely be using you for future binding projects. Many thanks, Dave.

Leather book binding: a thesis to look like a book

  • Appearance: textured matte (premium bookbinding) or marbled leather-look with a slightly glossy finish (standard bookbinding)

You’ve made it! You’ve finished writing your thesis. Now all that’s left is printing and binding and knocking your examiner’s socks off! That’s why we recommend leather bookbinding . 

A leather book has the best quality for  printing and binding your thesis . Your thesis will look like a classy book. 

Choosing this type of binding will make your thesis stand out from the rest and leave a lasting impression on your examiner. Combine that with additional options such as customized embossing, corner protectors, and a ribbon bookmark, and after that process your thesis you’ll have a one-of-a-kind, sophisticated-looking book.

There are two options available with this leather book: Premium leather book and standard leather book. Whereas the premium leather book has a matte finish, a standard leather book has a glossy finish. However, both are done in leather-look and consist of a solid and sturdy cover. 

Which leather book you choose for your  thesis binding is a matter of personal preference.

Upgrade your binding

Deciding on a leather book when printing and binding your thesis gives you the option to upgrade it to your tastes and create a one-of-a-kind binding. Here are the upgrade options:

Corners protectors

Corners protectors:

Thermal binding

Thermal binding: a clean and classic style

  • Page limit: 2 – 450 pages
  • Color options: black, red, green, yellow, blue, white, gray
  • Appearance: transparent front cover, colored, leather-look back cover

Of all the different types of binding,  thermal binding  is a classic. One of the features is the transparent front cover: it shows off the title page of your dissertation as well as the title of your thesis. This means that attention is immediately drawn to the topic of your dissertation.

Softcover

Softcover: A thesis for artists

  • Page limit: 20 – 150 pages
  • Color options: customizable to suit your needs
  • Appearance: satin matte, smooth appearance; design and print your cover to your liking (magazine look)
  • Cover: 300 g/m² premium paper

Looking to make an impact with your thesis? In that case, the softcover is just for you! You have free reign and can decide what you want your cover to look like: Logos, colors, photos, or different fonts – you’re the one who decides what goes on the cover of your softcover. That is why this type is ideal for more creative fields of study. 

Note: Designing a one-of-a-kind binding that looks super original is tempting, but remember to keep it aligned with your field of studies and professional looking.

Spiral binding

Spiral binding: A sleek solution for your thesis

  • Page limit: 1 – 300 pages
  • Color options for cardboard back cover: black, red, green, gray, blue, yellow or white
  • Appearance: Leather-look cardboard back cover, transparent front cover
  • Spiral options: Metal or plastic

Of all the different types of binding, spiral binding is the sleekest and simplest type  BachelorPrint  has to offer. It has a transparent front cover. This allows the examiner to see the topic of your Master’s thesis or dissertation right away. However, spiral binding is better for printing shorter dissertations. 

Some professors will require that you use  spiral binding  for printing your thesis. If your post-secondary institution has no guidelines regarding printing and binding, then you should make sure that the “packaging” of your thesis matches the contents: If you are looking into printing and binding your Master’s thesis, we definitely recommend the leather book over spiral binding.

Tips from printing experts

It’s one thing to know what thesis binding to choose when printing your thesis. But there are lots of helpful and important tips that you should consider when it comes to printing. We sat down with BachelorPrint to put together some exclusive advice just for you:

Tip #1- Choosing the right paper:  Most printing services use 80 g/m² paper by default. However, 80 g/m² paper is relatively thin and as a result, the print on the reverse side will shine through if you are printing double-sided. 

Tip:  Remember that printing and binding your thesis is not something you do every day – be sure to use high-quality paper and select 100 g/m² paper – if printing double-sided, we actually recommend 120 g/m² paper. BachelorPrint automatically uses 100 g/m² paper.

Tip #2- Printing single-sided or double-sided:  It’s totally up to you whether you print your thesis single-sided or double-sided. Make sure you check the examiner’s guidelines first – if there are none, the choice is yours! 

Tip:  When printing double-sided, make sure your page numbers are formatted correctly. Uneven page numbers should always be on the right-hand page, and even page numbers should be on the left-hand page.

Tip #3- Printing in color:  It’s up to you whether you print in color or black and white. This depends on your thesis. If your dissertation has lots of charts and photos, color printing would look better. 

Tip:  Color printing gives your thesis a classier appearance. But take note! Too much color and your thesis will look less professional.

Tip #4- Number of copies:  You can assume that two members of the examination board will read your thesis. Furthermore, the person or organization you did your internship with might also like a copy of your thesis. Last but not least, you would probably also like to own a copy of your dissertation, Master’s thesis, or  research paper . 

Tip:  Find out beforehand, how many copies you’ll need. We generally recommend making 4 to 5 copies. Of course, the type of binding is up to you.

Tip #5- Cost:  The cost of printing and binding your thesis is based on various factors: Paperweight, color printing, and actual printing. Many service providers often add a surcharge when you opt for color printing or thicker paper.

Tip:  BachelorPrint printing expert automatically uses 100 g/m² paper, and does not even add a surcharge. The same applies for color printing: whether you choose black/white or color, BachelorPrint charges the same.

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.

The Role of Vezf1 in Mammalian Development

Embryonic development relies on the complex interplay of epigenetic regulation, timely expression of genes, signal transduction pathways, and diverse morphological changes. The heart is the first organ to form during mammalian embryonic development. The proper development of the heart is critical to supply nutrients and oxygen to other cell types of the organism. Most cells that comprise the heart originate from the mesoderm post-gastrulation. Cardiomyocytes are the predominant cell type and confer function to the heart via contractile activity. The development and proliferation of cardiomyocytes ceases shortly after birth, where cardiomyocytes only nucleate and increase in size. Consequently, cardiomyocyte insufficiency underlies most cardiovascular diseases, a leading cause of death globally.

Vascular endothelial zinc finger 1 (VEZF1) is a transcription factor expressed predominantly in mesoderm during development. Previous studies from our lab show that the loss of VEZF1 impairs the differentiation of embryonic stem cells into endothelial cells, a cell type derived from mesoderm. Other published studies also show that Vezf1 loss impairs cardiomyocyte growth in Zebrafish and hematopoietic cell differentiation. Our work here describes a detailed investigation of the role of Vezf1 in the differentiation of mesoderm and cardiomyocytes using mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation as a mammalian model system. We initially developed an efficient method, known as the Wnt Switch method, to differentiate ESCs into cardiomyocytes. Our technique relies on the treatment of differentiating ESCs with small molecule inhibitors: i) CHIR99021, which induces mesoderm development via the activation of Wnt signaling in the first 48 hours of differentiation, followed by ii) XAV939, which inhibits Wnt signaling and drives mesoderm cells toward cardiomyocyte differentiation pathway. The Wnt Switch method significantly increases the efficiency of cardiomyocyte derivation (86%) from ESC compared to published methods (56%).

Interestingly, the Wnt Switch method showed that despite the external stimulation of Wnt signaling, Vezf1 KO cells are unable to differentiate into cardiomyocytes and show reduced expression of mesodermal genes 48 hrs post-differentiation. To better understand the stage-specific role of Vezf1 in cardiomyocyte development, we generated doxycycline-inducible Vezf1 knockdown clones that significantly reduce Vezf1 protein levels upon treatment with doxycycline. We found that the knockdown of Vezf1 prior to mesoderm induction significantly impaired ESC differentiation but had no significant effect on cardiomyocyte development after mesoderm induction. These data indicate that Vezf1 expression is crucial for proper mesoderm and, thus, mesodermal lineage development. Further, FACS analysis showed reduced mesoderm cell populations derived from Vezf1 null post-differentiation. We used high throughput sequencing methods to determine genome-wide Vezf1 binding by ChIP-SEQ and compared gene expression in WT and Vezf1 null cells using RNA-SEQ. The data indicated that VEZF1 binds near the promoters of numerous Wnt signaling genes after differentiation and that the expression of Wnt pathway genes decreases when Vezf1 is lost. Interestingly, supplementing WNT3A protein in culture media of Vezf1 null cells rescues the expression of Wnt target genes necessary for mesoderm formation.

Differentiating Vezf1 KO cells to endothelial or cardiomyocyte lineages also resulted in massive cell death. The surviving cells interestingly stained positive for alkaline phosphatase (AP) staining, indicating retention of the pluripotency in Vezf1 KO cells. Whereas, re-culturing of WT ESC in LIF media, after differentiating them for five days in the absence of LIF, results in cell death, Vezf1 KO cells proliferate and form AP-positive and SSEA-positive colonies. We further show the retention of pluripotency gene expression post-differentiation using RNA sequencing and RT-qPCR. Moreover, we show that the continued expression of pluripotency genes post-differentiation was not a consequence of reduced global DNA methylation in Vezf1 KO cells.

Interestingly, our data show that Vezf1 is a transcriptional activator and binds to key pro-differentiation pathways like the MAPK signaling and WNT signaling pathways. The loss of Vezf1 correlates with reduced expression of genes in the pro-differentiation pathways. We show that CTCF, an insulator-binding protein, opportunistically binds to VEZF1 sites on genes in the pro-differentiation signaling pathways in VEZF1 KO cells. Therefore, we hypothesized that this opportunistic CTCF binding is the mechanism that drives the repression of pro-differentiation signaling genes or compensates for the loss of Vezf1 binding to support basal gene expression in the absence of VEZF1. Given the dire consequences of pluripotency in cancer stem cells, we investigated the expression of Vezf1 in cancers. We found that Vezf1 expression is reduced in many cancers and is correlated with poor prognosis. We also show that MAPK3, a prominent member of the MAPK signaling pathway, is reduced in these cancers, highlighting a strong correlation between Vezf1 expression and Mapk3 gene expression in cancers. The data extend our observation of pluripotency in ESCs to cancers. To gain further insights into the role of Vezf1 in cancer, we utilized F9 embryonic carcinoma cells. F9 cells have been reported to retain pluripotency expression post-differentiation. Interestingly, the ectopic and transient expression of Vezf1 in F9 cells significantly reduced the expression of pluripotency genes, suggesting that Vezf1 is sufficient to repress pluripotency gene expression in F9 carcinoma cells. These data highlight the significant role of Vezf1 in pluripotency gene repression and provide an excellent avenue for treating cancer relapse caused by the occurrence of cancer stem cells.

In conclusion, our research elucidates the critical role of Vezf1 in cardiomyocyte formation and pluripotency regulation during embryonic development. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying Vezf1-mediated pathways provides insights into developmental processes and holds promise for therapeutic interventions for cardiomyocyte regeneration and against cancers.

UTA College of Business Professor wins Ralph Alexander Best Dissertation Award

Thursday, Jun 27, 2024 • Thomas Johns : [email protected]

Recently, Dr. Hanbo Shim Ph.D., University of Texas at Arlington Assistant Professor of Management, won the Academy of Management Human Resources Division Ralph Alexander Best Dissertation Awar d .  The award   will be presented at the 84th Annual Meeting of Academy of Management this August.

The AOM Human Resources Division is a division of the greater AOM organization which is dedicated to understanding and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of HR practices. The division is one of the AOM’s largest with over 3300 members. The division acts as a gathering place for academics and HR professionals to create networks and develop state-of-the-art HR knowledge.

This prestigious award is presented to research dissertations that have contributed to solving significant obstacles in the field of Human Resources.

“There’s an annual competition for all the best dissertations that isn’t bound to the state of Texas,” said Shim. “The competition encompasses dissertations that had been submitted within the last two years and you’re competing against everyone who submitted. They recognize the high quality of research and it gives you a goal to work toward.”

Shim’s winning dissertation “Understanding the construct and measure of job performance over time”, delves into the ways employee job performance is captured at the short term and long-term levels.

“This study highlights the importance of more frequent or short-term performance feedback so that employees can make more effective behaviors decision on the short-term basis,” Shim explained. “It also informs individual employees about what would be the detail and ideal profile of short-term performance behaviors to win more favorable rating in the long-term.” 

Through his research, Shim found that there was a deep correlation between short-term tasks and long-term employee ratings.

“Individual’s short-term performance behaviors such as performing his or her own tasks or helping others’ tasks can lead to different levels of long-term performance with different patterns,” said Shim.  “This implies that the momentary decision that you make every day or every week in terms of how you work can create differences in your annual performance ratings.”

Through his dissertation, Shim hopes his findings and research will have a lasting effect on not only the Human Resources career field, but also the decision-making capabilities of leadership as a whole.

“This dissertation could have major implications for anyone in an HR field.  Once you have more accurate and frequent data about employee performance, you’re able to make more timely and effective decisions.” Shim explained.

Although Shim was happy to receive this prestigious award, he views it as a successful team effort that allows the field of Human Resources to advance.

“I celebrated when I found out, not just with the people here at UTA, but with my fellow researchers like my dissertation director Dr. Michael Sturman at Rutgers.”, said Shim. “I felt joy, but I was also grateful to have the opportunity to give back. It feels great to find out that we can contribute something big to the organization and people we serve.”
