Lamination can be used to protect the cover of the book, for example against tearing and humidity. It is available in matt, gloss and soft touch.
Foil stamping can be used to create shapes or writing that are stamped into the cover and filled with a foil, which is available in many colours.
Blind embossing is the same technique as foil stamping, but without the foil. It can be used to create shapes or writing that are stamped into the cover.
If desired, we can use UV spot varnish to highlight particular cover elements with a gloss or matt finish.
It is possible to use different materials for hard cover books. For example, you can finish the spine with a cloth-like material and the rest of the cover with a glossy, laminated paper.
The head-and-tail bands are mainly used to decorate the section between the spine and the content pages and to protect this part of the book. Available in different designs and colours.
If you wish, you can also include a marker (or reading) ribbon in your book. This is available in many different colours matching those of the head-and-tail bands.
