About GraphiCraft

More than
Bookbinding.

For over four decades, GraphiCraft has produced some of South Africa's finest handcrafted books, menu covers, presentation cases and hospitality products — each one made to be handled, opened and used for years, not just admired once.

Graphicraft (Pty) Limited, founded by K W Borgelt in 1984, has grown from a small operation to a team of 30 artisans, recognized for its high-quality standards and service. Specializing in mechanized hand binding, the company bridges the gap between solitary craft bookbinders and large automated plants, offering flexibility and a variety of upmarket imported covering materials.

Known for its exceptional leatherbinding for deluxe editions and a range of other services, Graphicraft supports printers, publishers, the hospitality industry, and the promotional gift sector. Its diaries, celebrated as the finest in South Africa, feature gilt edging, leatherbound finishes, and customizable options in corporate colors
