Which bookbinding board is suitable for which finishing?
Getting straight to the point
The initial twelve seconds determine whether a book is purchased or returned to the shelf. Hence, it is of paramount importance that the book cover captures attention at first glance. Book refinement provides your book with the decisive advantage!
To ensure that your book capitalizes on these crucial first seconds, we offer a wide range of book refinement and book art. Whether you are producing an exclusive limited edition or industrially manufacturing large quantities, we identify the perfect refinement for your book.
This is just a glimpse of our successfully executed projects.
Moreover, there are numerous possibilities to design your book cover and make it truly special.
Exciting insights are created through die-cutting or intricate laser cutting. enticing outer contours or an elegant embossing provide additional tangible incentives. These visual and tactile effects play a crucial role in the first few seconds.
For children's books, surprising pop-up elements or flaps for exploration are suitable; they inspire and stimulate the spirit of play.
The use of state-of-the-art laser technology enables us to achieve personalized refinement of book covers or edges, book or dust jackets, wraps, slipcases, and bookmarks.

Essentially, all elements—content pages, book and dust covers, belly bands, slipcases, or bookmarks—can be refined in a coordinated manner. The possibilities are virtually limitless. To bring your visions to life, we are willing to explore unconventional paths.
In addition to visual design with colors and glossy effects, such as through hot foil stamping, tactile experiences play a significant role.
The diverse possibilities range from embossing to kiss-cutting and lasercut to personalized laser engraving.
With kiss-cutting or lasercut on the book cover, the view is opened to the endpaper. So, the endpaper is included as a second layer in the cover design. Through the clever combination of insight and print, even a small story can be told. The imagination and creativity are almost limitless in this regard.
Exceptional books result from the optimal collaboration of all companies involved in production and refinement. The various production steps can impact refinement, and conversely, planned refinement can influence production. Therefore, discuss your ideas and preferences with all involved parties in advance.
Here are some tips:
Kiss-cuts or laser refinement on the finished book can be done regardless of the book's thickness. However, the size and contour of the cutout and the distance from the spine may be significant. We are happy to advise you in the planning phase.
The photos clearly illustrate how minor changes to the data can enhance the laser result.
The small image shows the laser engraving with the original data. The spacing was slightly too narrow, and the ends were too sharp; the fumes could not be adequately extracted and settled on the product.
In the large photo, the result after data optimization is visible.
The overall impression has not changed significantly, but the quality has been significantly improved.
Laser-cutting allows for significantly more intricate contours compared to traditional die-cutting. In the case of light boards, the cut edges may change color, but they do not become rusty and do not transfer color.
Simpler shapes can also be effectively realized through die-cutting, with the material color remaining unchanged along the cutting edge.
In the photos, you can observe wooden board and whiteboard each with a laser-cut edge and a die-cut edge.
With the planned original material and the desired processing, we are pleased to conduct tests for you. This allows us to determine the optimal components before the start of book production.
The design is often crucial in choosing bookboard. If complex contours need to be implemented, this can only be achieved with laser cutting. In this case, light boards should be used. Simpler shapes, such as circles or rectangles, can generally be kiss-cut. Here, gray or black boards can be used.
Of course not! In addition to book refinement, we specialize in laser finishing, die-cutting, embossing, kiss-cutting, and folding cardboard.
