Blissett Bookbinders

About / History

A brief history of Blissett Bookbinders

Blissett Bookbinders was established in Acton, London W3 in 1920 and moved to its current premises in 1962. As the largest specialist bookbinder in the South of England we look after the needs of many public, academic and specialist/private libraries throughout the UK.

The bindery is set out over two floors with 8000 square feet dedicated to these services and a further 4000 square feet being dedicated to printing on demand, commercial digital print, printed books and photo / year books etc.

In all, the organisation employs 50 staff and continues to invest in state of the art machinery whilst also keeping a close eye on the skills training of hand bookbinding and restoration and conservation of books

Our services are not limited to libraries as increasingly we undertake cased binding and paperback binding services for digital printers, publishers and book sellers and offer design solutions for designers where a material over board design is required.
