Dear comic customers,

We would like to express our gratitude for your binding orders. We appreciate your support over the years and greatly value your business and loyalty.

We are reaching out to inform you that we are making some adjustments to our pricing structure, effective for orders received after March 13th 2026.

Although our typical practice is to review and adjust prices annually, our last comic binding price increase was in July 2023.

We do our best to keep our costs in line by running our plant as efficiently as possible and absorbing costs where we can, but unfortunately there are still many things out of our control.

Due to feedback from over the years, we are also going to implement some binding changes to help with efficiency, consistency, and costs for us both.

It is important to us to keep our comic binding services accessible and affordable, so going forward, our basic comic binding will cost $54.00 and will include:

-DFAB
-Trimming
-Standard off-white end sheets
-Black headbands
-Standard library summit cloth cover (choice of 8 colors) with foil stamping (choice of 3 colors, up to 7 lines of stamping).

To help us minimize turnover time and keep our costs as affordable as possible, we need all orders to be shipped to us in binding order with tickets fully filled out. This will help decrease the need for follow up emails and any delays.

We appreciate your business and look forward to continually serving all your binding needs and offering the best consistent products and services possible for you.

Please contact us with any questions or concerns either by phone or email.

Thank you!

Come see us at Comic Con Nebraska August 2-3!

We greatly appreciate our customers' feedback concerning quality, scheduling, etc. We want you to know that we are aware of these issues and are working to minimize the delays and quality concerns.
We are very grateful and proud to be one of your binders of choice, and we do take your comments to heart. At any point please do not hesitate to reach out to Nathan or Damon if you have any questions or concerns. We are happy to work with you to resolve any issues and would appreciate you letting us know personally so we are aware and can prevent mistakes being repeated in the future.

We hope to follow up in the near future as we are currently working on a simplified comic bind format option that we would like to provide in addition to our current customizable format.

Thank you again for your past and future orders, and we look forward to hearing from you. You can reach us by email or by giving us a call at 800-869-0420.

Hello HF Group comic book customers,

We hope everyone is enjoying the fall season. We are aware of some negative comments that have been made recently and would like to address them.

We, of course, like to hear the positive feedback but learn from the negative feedback as well. Be assured that we do care and take any issue seriously. We try to learn from these and work hard to resolve them and make sure they don't happen again. If at any time you have any concern with quality or shipping, please email us at [email protected] or call us at 800-869-0420 and we will connect you with the right person. This is the quickest and smoothest way to address these issues. If you like, feel free to do both. We would appreciate you reaching out to us so we can handle each case, one on one, promptly.

Again, we are aware of rumors that have been circulating and want to state that we hope our customers reach out to us directly with any questions or concerns. We welcome your feedback and learn from you.
We want to thank you all for working with us over the years and look forward to serving you for many more years.

Comic book customers-

We would like to thank you again for your great business, support, and for entrusting us with your comic books. We are proud of the work we do at our bindery and comic book binding is certainly a big part of this.

We work diligently to keep our costs in line by running as efficient a plant as possible. Over the last 18 months, we have seen higher increases in supplies, insurance, utilities, labor, and transportation, which has affected all of us. Our aim is always to absorb as much as possible.

Additionally, comics are set apart from other binding methods we offer as each book is unique and requires more attentive labor.

Due to these increases, and in an effort to reduce the labor involved in comic book binding, we are implementing new pricing and policies for our comic book orders. We desire to be able to complete comic book orders more efficiently and these new policies are aimed toward this goal.

New pricing will be in effect beginning July 1st. Any order received after July 1st will be priced according to our new pricing. Pricing information will be available on our website soon. In the meantime, please contact us via email if you are in need of this information.

Our new policy for comic orders is that every order will be invoiced upon check in. Once payment is received, then we will begin the binding process for the order. We will contact with a shipping invoice after the order is completed.

We appreciate your continued business with us. Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions.

We want to thank you all for entrusting your comic books to our Bindery. We know these are unique books that take much care and attention and we appreciate working with you all.

With this in mind, we want to reach out to you all with a few updates:

We are busy and doing the best we can to produce for all of our customers. We are not on our usual turnaround for comic book orders and we greatly apologize for this and any inconvenience this may cause you. Be assured, we are doing everything we can to complete your orders in a timely manner and appreciate your patience.

Additionally, if we have reached out to you requesting information, please send that to us as soon as possible to help lessen further delays.

Thank you all, again, for your orders and continued work with us, and we thank you in advance for understanding our current scheduling.

If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to us as [email protected].
