Bookbinding Head and Tail Band No 24
Bookbinding headbands and endbands that finish the head and tail of a hardcover block, in cotton, linen and polyester.
What This Item Is
Bookbinding Head and Tail Band No 24 is made on our own looms in Foshan, cut and rolled to the length your line runs. Any width, and a thickness from 0.65 mm up to 2.5 mm unless you need something outside that. Shade is agreed on a woven sample before the bulk lot runs, and that lot covers the entire order. Sampling runs 3 to 7 days; the production window is 7 to 15 days from approval.

How It Compares
Linen carries higher strength and durability but is less pliable and may need a second application to lie flat. Cotton goes on in one pass, which is usually the deciding factor on a running line.
Polyester provides relatively lower structural support and we do not recommend it for hardcover binding where durability matters. It has a place on lighter cased stationery.
A woven band with stitched edges shows a genuine textile edge at the head of the block. Printed paper reads flat and wears at the corners.
Use Guide
- Trial adhesion on your own board and cloth before committing a run
- Choose cotton where the line applies in a single pass
- Specify linen where the finished book will see library or archive handling
- Match the band width to the thickness of the trimmed block, not to the case

Questions Buyers Ask About Bookbinding Head and Tail Band No 24
Should I choose cotton or linen headbands
Cotton is flexible and easy to adhere, so it is convenient to apply. Linen offers higher strength and durability but is less pliable and may require a second application to achieve a smooth finish. Line speed usually decides it.
Are polyester headbands suitable for hardcover books
Polyester provides relatively lower structural support and is generally not recommended for hardcover binding where higher durability is required. We will say so rather than sell you the cheaper option.
Can you supply a test report
SGS testing is arranged on request before shipment. Tell us at quotation stage which properties need to be reported.
Will a repeat order match this one
Yes, provided you quote the same order reference. The colour reference and any jacquard plate stay on file here for exactly that reason.
Do you weave to a drawing
That is the normal case. Width and thickness come from your specification rather than from a standard size list.
