Custom options for printing and binding
There are many options available for book printing and binding. However, book finishing options are limited with print-on-demand, or if printing on press with a company unlike Star Print Brokers. Most services use block lettering on the spine of a hardcover book instead of the designer created spine lettering. Also, they might not offer spot varnish, French flaps, or many of the other options available at SPB. Our special book finishes are available for custom coffee table book and more.
Quick Tips
- Check with the service to see if they have the options you want.
- Extras add to the cost. Ask that they be listed as separate line items. Quotes should be customized. Request a ballpark quote for the book and quantity first along with maybe one or two options. After reviewing the rough quote, then you may request additional options.
- Do not design a book until you select the printer.
