Perfect binding is a professional bookbinding method whereby the book pages are glued to a wraparound cover. While this binding option is most often associated with fiction and nonfiction books, it can also be used for catalogs, company profiles, magazines, and more.
We can custom die-cut many different materials, including cardboard, cardstock, foam board, as well as other materials. These are used for things like retail displays, packaging, promotional pieces, and more.
Many industries use custom die cutting for their needs, including retail, publishing, manufacturing, marketing, and more. Die cutting provides precise, professional shapes that help make eye-catching products.
A UV coating on a printed item is meant to help prevent colors from fading, protect the item from scratches, and to enhance the colors used. This can be used on a variety of items, such as posters and business cards.
UV coatings are easily applied and dry instantly with the use of ultraviolet light. UV coatings offer better durability and richer colors to help make a lasting impression.
Print mounting is the process of taking a printed graphic and adhering it to a rigid substrate like foam board, chipboard, or another medium. These items are commonly used for trade shows, presentations, signs, and more.
Yes! We do these large-format print mountings for posters, trade shows, retail graphics, and more. No matter what application you need these for, we can create them for your event.
Foil stamping is a specialty print finishing option that uses heat and pressure to apply a metallic or colored foil to printed materials. Some options for this kind of print finishing include business cards, hardcover books, certificates, and more.
Both embossing and debossing are kinds of print finishing options, and the goal is to add a textural difference from the basic printed material that gives it a premium feel. Embossing is when lettering or other features are raised compared to the rest of the printed material, while debossing is when it is pressed into the material.
Hardcover case binding is a book binding method that creates professional-quality books that are meant to be kept for many years. Rigid covers are wrapped in vinyl, cloth, paper, or other specialty materials, and this option is used for publications like special editions, yearbooks, corporate publications, and more.
While used for more than just calendars, the idea is to attach a metal strip to the item – a calendar, map, chart, or other item to be hung – so that the item resists tearing and makes hanging the item much easier.
