CHAPTER III
Our materials
If you’re an author or publisher, you’ll love printing books with us. We produce a sample before printing the complete run of books.
Let’s start from the outside in, because the cover enchants any reader at first glance. Depending on your style, budget, and the concept of your story, you can choose whether you want printing in black and white or in color… the same goes for the finish, as you can opt for an extra soft laminate, a selective gloss finish, covers with gold or silver stamping…
Thinking about the binding method is also important. You can opt for sewing with vegetable thread, or for gluing your book. Of course, this choice should depend on the weight of the soft or hard cover and the weight of the inner pages, the book’s core.
The formats
Every detail is important, even the right format is a significant decision. Depending on the theme of the book (fiction, children’s, poetry, photography…), the type of format and size you choose will depend, because it’s not the same to print cookbooks, a novel, a journal, or a training book… And so on!
The most sought-after sizes typically include 6×9 inch books (perfect for novels and self-help genres), 8×8 inch books (a favorite for children’s literature), and larger formats (the go-to choice for photography, art, illustrated works, as well as corporate or historical compilations). These options cater to a diverse range of publishing needs, ensuring that every story finds its ideal canvas.

CHAPTER VI
Types of binding
Choosing the type of binding is key when printing books, determining their durability and appearance. Here we present the most popular options:
Milled paperback binding
This type of softcover binding is a very common option for printing affordable books.
Hardcover binding
Appreciated by book lovers, this more complex process gives the work a unique and lasting appearance.
PUR-bound softcover books
This type of flexible and durable binding uses a strong adhesive that has revolutionized the industry.
Sewn binding
This ancient and sturdy method joins the pages with thread and can be used when printing both softcover and hardcover books.
Recommended papers for book printing
Books with Coated Paper
This paper is ideal for printing full-color images, such as in photographic, artistic, or business books. Its surface, treated with layers of coating, provides high-quality printing with characteristic gloss.
Print books on 100% Recycled Paper
This high-quality paper is excellent for those committed to the environment. It does not use chlorine or bleachers and provides excellent printing. Your choice of recycled paper will be valued by your readers.
Textbooks on Offset Paper
This economical paper is notable for its whiteness and stiffness, offering high-quality prints. Plus, it’s ideal for autographs or marginal notes, making it a great choice for book printing.
Novels and books on Novel Paper
This bone-colored paper is perfect for black and white prints. Its soft tone facilitates reading and is ideal for projects requiring prolonged reading time, like novels.
Finishes
Special finishes after printing books
A coating (lamination) is always applied to printed books to enhance their appearance and protect them from scuffs or scratches. But in addition, we add special finishes like varnishes, gold or silver stamping, embossing… This increases the quality of presence and attractiveness for sales.
Print books with Flaps
By extending and folding the book cover, flaps add consistency and extra space for additional information, such as details about the author or related works.
Accessories
Bands, dust jackets, bookmarks, reading ribbons, closing elastic bands, personalized packaging… all these elements add value and appeal to the final product. Adding these extra details can increase the perceived value of your printed books.
Individual shrink wrapping
This process involves individually wrapping books with a film that shrinks with heat to seal it, protecting the book during transport and sale. Plus, for the reader, it’s something that helps them identify that the book is brand new. (We do not recommend shrink wrapping as it is not eco-friendly and we can always explore more sustainable options)
