Swiss Bookbinders' and Carton Makers' Union

The Swiss Bookbinders' and Carton' Makers' Union (German: Schweizerischer Buchbinder- und Kartonagerverband, SBKV; French: Fédération suissse des relieurs et cartonniers) was a trade union representing bookbinders, stationers and box makers in Switzerland.

The union was founded on 9 June 1889, in Zürich,[1] as the Swiss Bookbinders' Union, and in 1893, it joined the Swiss Trade Union Federation.
