– The pages are glued together using a hotmelt adhesive at the spine and a wrap around cover is applied before being trimmed for a clean, professional finish.

– Matt, gloss and velvet soft touch lamination can be added as well as foil or Spot UV. Embellishment can only be added to laminated print. Lamination can be added to stock thicker than 250gsm and cannot be added to uncoated stocks.
