3D Spot UV is a raised, high‑gloss coating applied to specific areas of a printed piece to create both shine and a tactile, embossed‑like texture. A clear UV‑curable varnish is applied only where you want emphasis. When cured under ultraviolet light in multiple or thicker passes, it forms a noticeably raised surface, creating the “3D” effect. This adds contrast to matte or uncoated backgrounds
Our precision technology lets us trace the finest details of your cover to create beautiful lines and accents.Choose from multiple thickness levels for enhanced texture and depth.
Interior foldouts are special pages that extend beyond the normal trim size of a book, unfolding outward to reveal extra-wide or multi‑panel content. They’re sometimes called gatefolds, bifolds, or trifolds, depending on how many panels they include. They allow a book to display information that wouldn’t fit on a standard page, such as maps, charts, panoramic art, diagrams, timelines, or interactive elements.
Popular among textbooks and childrens books, this functional and decorative feature lets you create engaging content within your pages.
Inside cover printing is the practice of printing text, graphics, patterns, or artwork on the inside surfaces of a book’s front and/or back cover. Instead of leaving those interior cover panels blank, we print beautiful, full-color images that grab your readers' attention from the moment they open your book.
This feature is ideal for illustrations, maps, patterns, branding, or thematic artwork. You can choose to print on the inside front cover, inside back cover, or both.
Appearing at the beginning and end of hardcover books, endsheets (aka endpapers or endleaves) are thick sheets of paper glued to the inside front and back covers, acting as both a structural component and a design opportunity. Custom endsheets allow you to print artwork, patterns, branding, or personal elements directly onto those interior cover sheets.
Custom endsheets are one of those subtle book‑printing details that quietly elevate a hardcover from “nice” to “premium.” We offer solid colors and patterns, as well as full-color artworks such as thematic illustrations, maps and monograms. Custom endsheets work great in family history and fine-art books.
A clear‑sleeve CD insert transforms your book into a true multimedia experience. The transparent pocket is securely attached to the front cover, giving you a clean, professional way to include a companion CD. Perfect for workbooks, training manuals, music projects, and special‑edition releases, these inserts keep your disc visible, protected, and instantly accessible.
CD inserts are another way of extending your content beyond the page. Whether you want to provide an audio copy of your book or supplementary material, CDs can add value and depth to your content.
Real foil stamping brings unmistakable brilliance to your book. Using genuine metallic foil pressed deep into the cover, this premium finish creates crisp, light‑catching accents that elevate titles, logos, and decorative elements. It’s a high‑end detail that adds texture, prestige, and shelf appeal for special editions, gift books, and more.

Wire‑O binding is a premium metal binding style that adds durability and a sleek, modern look to your spiral-bound books.

Rounded corner upgrades give your book a clean, modern look while protecting it from everyday wear. By softening the sharp edges of your cover and pages, rounded corners reduce bending, fraying, and dog‑eared damage. We often see this feature on notebooks that are meant to be carried with the reader, but this treatment looks great on any book.
This simple finishing option adds durability, enhances visual appeal, and delivers a premium, professional feel that helps your book stand out in any category. Spiral bound and perfect bound covers will be trimmed to match the text when their corners are rounded.
