You can choose a self cover option, or go for a thicker cover with thinner inner pages.
A popular choice is 150gsm silk inner pages with a 350gsm silk cover this allows for you to see the thickness contrast between the two stocks, another popular, more affordable option is the self cover option.
‘Pp’ refers to printed pages. Four of these pages are used for the cover (front, back and inside covers).
Inner pages are printed on our Truepress, while covers are printed lithographically or on our Indigo press.
Booklets are then bound using StitchLiner or Muller machines.
We use our state-of-the-art Landa Nanopraphic press to print your book pages and then bind them together with your cover stock on either a Horizon or our Kolbus KM600 depending on the quantity ordered.
