Lamination
Lamination adds a protective layer to your printed materials, ensuring they are durable and long-lasting. Available in gloss, matte, and soft-touch finishes, lamination enhances both the look and feel of your book cover while providing protection against scratches, moisture, and wear. Whether you want a sleek, glossy finish or a more understated matte look, lamination is essential for preserving the quality of your prints.
Gatefolds / French Flaps
Gatefolds and French flaps add a professional and elegant touch to your books. Gatefolds offer the option of including oversized pages that fold out, perfect for displaying maps, charts, or large images. French flaps are extended edges on softcovers that fold inward, providing extra space for additional design elements or information while also giving the book a premium feel.
Foil Blocking
Foil blocking is a premium finish that uses heat and pressure to apply metallic foil to your book cover or printed materials. Available in a range of colours, including gold, silver, and custom hues, foil blocking adds an elegant, luxurious touch to titles, logos, or decorative elements. It’s perfect for creating high-end, eye-catching designs that leave a lasting impression.
Spot UV
Spot UV is a finishing technique that applies a high-gloss coating to specific areas of your printed design, creating a striking contrast between glossy and matte surfaces. Ideal for highlighting logos, titles, or specific design elements, Spot UV adds depth and dimension to your book cover, making it visually appealing and tactile. It’s a subtle yet impactful way to make your printed materials stand out.
Embossing / Debossing
Embossing and debossing are tactile finishing techniques that add texture and dimension to your printed materials. Embossing raises specific areas of your design, such as titles, logos, or patterns, creating a 3D effect that can be felt and seen. Debossing, on the other hand, presses the design into the paper or cover, creating an indented effect. Both techniques add a premium, professional touch to your books, making them visually striking and engaging to the touch. Ideal for adding sophistication and depth to any design, these finishes are perfect for covers and special editions.
Shrink Wrapping
Shrink wrapping offers an extra layer of protection for your printed materials. Whether you’re looking to safeguard books during storage or shipping, shrink wrapping ensures they stay dust-free, clean, and protected from moisture. It’s a cost-effective way to enhance the durability of your products, particularly for large print runs or special editions that require added care during transit.
