Coated Paper vs. Uncoated Paper
Coated Paper
Coated paper is available in both gloss and matte. Ideal for books that require the use of images, or graphics, this paper offers improved color saturation for a really professional look that commands attention. Its common applications are found in art books, cookbooks, and coffee table books.
Uncoated Paper
Uncoated paper has a natural texture and lower reflectivity, is easier to write on. It's often chosen for coloring books, novels, journals, or any books where readability and a classic feel are key.
If you're unsure which paper is best for your project, our team is always available to provide personalized advice based on your specific needs.
Book Binding Options
Selecting the appropriate binding will make your A5 book functional and nice-looking. Below are some of the most preferred binding options:
Hardcover Binding
Hardcover binding serves well for durability and gives your book a premium appearance. And it has options for luxury such as cloth cover, dust jactet and slipcase.
Perfect Binding
Perfect binding is an attractive, less expensive option for softcover books such as catalogs. The pages are glued directly to the spine, and a professional appearance is attained.
Saddle Stitching
Saddle stitching is ideal for thinner books, such as brochures or programs, consisting of less than 48 pages. Pages fold and staple along the spine for a neat, light finish.
Wire-O Binding
Wire-O binding is a method of securely binding pages with metal loops. It allows the book to lay completely flat and fold back on itself. The sturdy finish ensures durability and a professional appearance.
Spiral Binding
Spiral binding consists of a plastic or metal coil which keeps the pages together. In such binding, the pages turn freely without any problem.
