All about books

We offer affordable book printing on standard offset paper in thicknesses of 80, 90, or 100 g/m², perfect for simple notebooks. Offset paper is printer-friendly and ideal for writing with ink. For poems or novels, we recommend wood-free book printing papers, which are especially durable and come in 80 and 90 g/m².

Coated art papers are great for recipe books, illustrated books, or documents with multiple color illustrations. You can choose from thicknesses of 115, 135, 150, or 170 g/m², and the paper is available in matte or glossy finishes upon request.

Special papers

You can order books with either sewn or perfect binding. Perfect binding is the more economical choice and is suitable for books with up to 996 pages. In this method, the pages are bound together and a special glue is applied to the spine. Sewn binding is a highly durable option where printed sheets are stitched with bookbinding yarn before a layer of glue is added to the spine. This technique is mainly used for hardcover books and can accommodate volumes of up to 500 pages. The minimum page count is 40 pages for perfect binding and 48 pages for sewn binding. To protect your hardcover books from dust and wear, we can add a headband to the spine, which closes the gap between the spine and book block. Headbands are available in white, blue, yellow, green, red, or black. We can also include a bookmark ribbon, a practical feature for novels or lengthy works, requiring a minimum spine width of 10 mm. Additionally, you can choose to add a dust jacket for extra protection and customization. For color covers, options include black, blue, green, or red.

With an optional laminate on the cover, you can ensure durability despite the soft cover. The firmly glued book block is optionally produced with thread sewing or PUR gluing technology.

Your book is protected by a hard cover whose cardboard core is fully laminated with paper. The contents and the cover are connected by a flyleaf. The book block is optionally produced with PUR gluing technology or thread sewing.

Choose CMYK if you want to print a recipe book, travel guide, comic, or photo book.

Well protected in the sale - Have your works individually shrink-wrapped for a small extra charge.

Shrink-wrapped books

Upon request, you can upgrade the cover of your paperbacks or softcover books. A popular option is lamination, where we apply a protective film to the exterior of your book, adding durability. For extra protection, our "scratch-resistant" option shields your book against cover scratches. To further elevate the appearance of your title page, additional enhancements are available. You can choose to have the title or author’s name embossed with hot foil, available in silver, bronze, gold, copper, blue, or red. Hot foil embossing can be combined with lamination, and this also applies to UV spot varnish. This technique allows for selective highlighting of specific cover or title motifs in an eye-catching way.

If you select a dust jacket for your hardcover book, we can also refine it. We offer classic lamination with a glossy or matte finish, as well as scratch-resistant foil, which can be paired with hot foil embossing for an even more striking result. At Print24.com, you can have your books individually shrink-wrapped, offering several advantages for you and your customers. Shrink-wrapping protects your books from dust and dirt during transport and storage. For high-quality hardcover books with a refined dust jacket or books with inserts, this extra layer of protection is invaluable. Your customers will receive a pristine copy, clearly identifying it as brand new, which also helps reduce return rates due to defects. This investment in protection quickly pays off, making it a smart choice for safeguarding your products.

Cellophane coating&nbsp;

With lamination, a wafer-thin film is applied to your printed product. This gives the product a higher quality and at the same time makes it more robust.

Cellophane coating&nbsp;+ UV spot

With this finishing combination, the lamination creates a glossy or matt finishing layer on the entire surface, with individual areas being visually highlighted once again by the partial varnish.

Cellophane coating + hot foil stamping

With this finishing combination, the laminating creates a glossy or matt finishing layer over the entire surface, with individual areas being visually emphasised once again by metallic effects.
