Finishing

  • Lamination

    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

    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 stamping

    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.

  • UV (spot) varnish

    If desired, we can use UV spot varnish to highlight particular cover elements with a gloss or matt finish.

  • Different materials

    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.

  • Head-and-tail bands

    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.

  • Marker ribbons

    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.
