Book Construction

in hardcover

Cover

is made from solid cardboard, which is covered with printed paper. Therefore, when designing such a cover, the bleed is 20 mm, and the cover format is 5 mm larger than the format of the inner block. Our system creates a cover mockup in real-time during the pricing process, so before you download the mockup, make sure to select the correct binding, paper, and specify the number of pages.

Endpaper

This is a sheet with double the width of the inner page, folded in half, one half of which is glued to the inside of the cover, and the other to the first page of the block. It serves as a connector between the block and the cover. There are two endpapers in the book, each adding one technical sheet to the inside of the book at the front and back. One side of each endpaper can be printed to create a decorative introduction or conclusion.

Book in softcover

The cover is made from cardboard, on which the printing occurs directly. Therefore, in this case, the page bleed, used for trimming during the finishing process, is only 3 mm.
