Three trends in book printing
Books on the shelf don't all have to be the same.
If you want your book to stand out from the crowd, here are three trends in book printing:
1: Yarn stapling without back
Give your book a unique look with yarn binding. With thread binding, the paper is sewn together at the spine with a visible thread, which is a strong way to bind books. If you choose a book without spine and thread binding, the book will stand out visually with its grooved appearance. This method can also be used for larger catalogs where they need to stand out from the competition.
The cookbook from Martin Ib is one of those books that challenges the traditional way of thinking about printing books and using yarn stitching. The result is a unique book that stands out on the shelf. Read more about printing the book here.
2: Print on canvas
Bind your entire book with canvas and achieve a quality that can be seen and felt. You can both print on the canvas and have a foil print embossed into the canvas. This way you can achieve an even more exclusive look. Canvas-bound books are also very durable.
3: Paper qualities
The choice of paper for your book also has a big impact on the final result and the finished look. When choosing paper, you need to consider both the weight of the paper and whether the paper should be coated or uncoated. Coated paper is often smoother with a finer look, while uncoated paper often has a greater stiffness and a more rustic and matte appearance. Uncoated paper is widely used for books today.
Mix it with a higher grammage to achieve a stronger and more unique expression. There can be a lot of signal value in your choice of paper, so be careful in your choice. You may want to get some paper samples before you make a choice.
