Hardcover books
Hardcover books are dignified and designed to last for years. As a rule, the quality level and colours of hardcover books are carefully selected to produce a harmonious final result.
Proper binding improves the durability of books.
Book cover design is polished to perfection with the help of various post-treatment techniques. Lamination and varnishing increase durability, while foil printing and embossing add visual beauty.

Softcover books
The main benefits of softcover books are their affordable price and quicker production process. Softcover books with glue binding can be made with both sewn and unsewn text blocks. For thinner publications it is recommended to use saddle-stitch or wire binding.
The cover material can be sturdier (ensures better durability), but it can also be as thin as the paper used for the text block in order to cut costs. In order to increase durability or make the product more attractive, we recommend using water-based varnish, foil printing, spot varnish, stamping and various lamination options.
