DESIGN BIND has a long history in Auckland offering Book Binding and Print Finishing services. Founding owner and Director Daniel Lanigan started his trade apprenticeship as a teenager in the late 1970s working for Wilson and Horton, now known as NZ Hearld, during his time there he learnt the skill of Hand Bookbinding, along with commercial binding and print finishing. With Daniels high knowledge and desire to succeed he started his own business as a trade finishing house working alongside many of Auckland’s printers.

As time evolved in 2005 Daniel and Nadene split the company in half and moved the Hand Book Binding division to the Northshore. With passion and pride we were then able to concentrate on the more specialised custom work that we still enjoy doing today from our custom built studio in Albany.

With Traditional bookbinding Our work is all done by hand, therefore this allows us to connect the old and new and always acknowledging the past and the present, we have a wealth of knowledge and work closely with Designers and creative agencies to deliver award winning results.
