VARNISHING
At CPI, we offer a diverse range of special varnishes that will truly elevate your books to the next level. Varnish is a liquid coating applied to a printed surface for protection and appearance. It can be applied to the full print surface or a small section. The final result can be either matt, glossy, super glossy or special effects.
FOILING & EMBOSSING
Experience the captivating world of embossing and debossing with CPI's exceptional finishes that add depth and texture to your book covers.
Through the use of metal dies, embossing raises a design, while debossing sinks it into the printed paper, resulting in a permanent reshaping of the area. Combine these techniques with foiling and you have a recipe for elegance and sophistication.
Our irreversible high-relief embossing takes the concept further by creating a more substantial and rigid press
EDGES
Unlock the full potential of your book's design with CPI's exquisite sprayed edges finishing option.
It involves the process of applying a solid color to one, two, or three edges of a book, creating a visually stunning effect.
Our team of experts is dedicated to achieving the best possible match to any non-metallic Pantone color, ensuring that your book's edges perfectly complement its overall aesthetic. Additionally, we offer the possibility of a metallic or fluorescent finish, adding an extra touch of vibrancy and uniqueness. By extending your design to all sides of the book, including the edges, you create a cohesive and immersive reading experience.
Furthermore, we also offer the option to print an image on the book's fore edge, allowing you to further personalize and customize your book's appearance.
CUTS & PERFORATIONS
SPECIAL FLAPS
Elevate your book's functionality and provide readers with an enhanced reading experience with CPI's special flaps. Flaps are folded extensions of a book's cover that go beyond the edges, offering additional space to showcase valuable information such as a summary, author biography, or endorsements. Whether found on the inside of a dust jacket or paperback cover, cover flaps serve as a practical and convenient feature for both readers and publishers. With CPI's attention to detail and craftsmanship, we ensure that your cover flaps seamlessly integrate with the overall design, adding a touch of professionalism and functionality to your books.
