As regards bookbinding, it is done chiefly as a handiwork trade in small
workshops with but few employees. Only the more extensive establishments, where
the work is done on factory lines, are noticed here. — The making of office
account-books and ledgers is often combined with bookbinding. A notice
concerning artistic bookbinding will be found below (section: Art Industry).
Wall-papers and Edgings. Wall-papers, as now understood, began to be
used in Sweden at the beginning of the 19th century. Nowadays machines are ven
extensively used for printing wall-papers; they do not, however, produce so good
an effect as handwork. The largest wall-paper factory in the country is
Heden-ström’s at Norrköping. The home production is, generally speaking, able to meet
the demand, though no doubt some amount of import of certain patterns occurs.
Paper-bags and letter-envelopes are made chiefly at Norrköping,
playing-oards at Norrköping and Stockholm.
Pasteboard prepared in a special way and exceptionally hard is used for
manufacture of traveling effects (called »Unica»), such as hat-boxes and trunks, which
are both cheap and very durable.
