Bookbinding Repair Service Insurance

While bookbinding repair may not involve physical risk in the same way as some other professions, the delicate nature of the materials involved and the potential for financial and reputational losses make it a job with its own set of risks that require careful consideration and mitigation.

A standard insurance policy for any facility that offers book restoration and repair as part of their services should include the following coverages:

Property Insurance

Coverage for physical assets including but not limited to:

• Bookbinding equipment
• Tools and machinery
• Inventory of materials such as leather, paper, adhesives, and other binding supplies
• Protection against hazards including fires, theft, vandalism, and natural calamities

Liability Insurance

• General liability coverage for injuries and property damage that may arise on the premises.
• Products liability coverage for damages caused by defective repair work.
• Coverage for liability stemming from finished repair projects.
• Personal and advertising injury liability coverage for claims such as slander or copyright infringement.

Professional Liability (Errors and Omissions) Insurance

• Protection against claims of negligence, errors, or omissions in bookbinding repair services.
• Coverage for legal defense costs and settlements resulting from such claims.

Business Interruption Insurance

• Coverage for lost income and ongoing expenses in the event of a temporary shutdown due to covered perils, such as fire or natural disasters.
• Additional expenses coverage for costs incurred to minimize the suspension of operations or expedite the resumption of business.

Valuable Papers and Records Insurance

Coverage for the cost of recreating or restoring important documents, manuscripts, or books in the event of loss or damage.
