Spine Block Die
Applies to a CBJ book finish, we make a die from PDF file supplied and apply Gold foil to the spine. Foil is metallic or pigment leaf used in blocking lettering or designs on the surface. Used primarily for blocking book covers.
Front Block Die
Applies to a CBJ book finish, we make a die from PDF file supplied and apply Gold foil to the front. Foil is metallic or pigment leaf used in blocking lettering or designs on the surface. Used primarily for blocking book covers.
Sewn Binding
Section sewing is the traditional method for fixing pages together and involves the pages being thread sewn together prior to being glued. It is considered a superior method for book production as the finished product opens flat and there is no risk of any sheets falling out. Please note that to sewn bind we require the page extent to be divisible by 16 or 32 page sections.
Head and Tail Bands
Head and tail bands are the little pieces of cloth on the top and bottom of the spine, hiding the glue binding. They are an optional extra.
Marker Ribbon
A marker ribbon or ribbon bookmark is great for notebooks, journals and reference books. They are wonderful to keep your place in a book.
Files supplied as
We work from files supplied as print ready PDF. One file for the cover with the correct spine set up (we can supply the spine width, please call for this 01525 621742). The other for the inner in single page order (Not as spreads) from page one to the back, with all fonts and images embedded. 3mm bleed must be allowed if the print runs to the edge of the page. If you need assistance with file preparation please call for advice.
Proof Options
We recommend a loose printed proof. This is to ensure you are happy with the printed result before full production commences.
