These options are only suitable for gold or silver foil stamping up to a 5.9" x 1.18" area; and embossing, debossing, or spot UV up to a 7.87" x 1.96" area. If the special finish area you need is larger than this, please contact us to get a quote.

Page Count

The total page count is a multiple of 4. When printing and binding your book, we fold sheets into "signatures".
If your book is larger, say, 8.5" x 11" or A4 size, one signature will have 16 pages. So, the inner page amount should be divisible by 16. Making your page counts match signatures is the most economical solution.
Inner Paper
Please select your paper choice for your internal pages from the dropdown menu. If you have a special request not listed here, get in touch. We'll do everything possible to satisfy your needs.
1 gsm ≈ 0.68 lb Text Paper
Binding
If your book has 48 pages or fewer, we recommend saddle stich as your binding option.
If you have more pages and choose fairly thin paper, such as 80 gsm /54 lb or 105 gsm / 71 lb text paper, we recommend perfect binding.
If your book has heavier interior paper or the page count exceeds 200 pages, sewn perfect binding will be your best choice.
Wire-O and spiral binding are other options and both of them open flat.

End sheet
The end sheets connect the hardcover casing and the interior pages when binding the book. So, there are two end sheets, one at the front and one at the back and both glued to the grayboard cover.

End Sheet Paper
If your book size is 8.5" x 11" or less with an interior page count of fewer than 320 pages, then a good option for the end sheets is 140 gsm / 95 lb offset paper.
If your book size is larger than 8.5" x 11", then 180 gsm / 122 lb offset paper would be better.
If your end sheets will be printed and your book's interior uses gloss or matte art paper—say, for an art book or coffee table book—to make sure the colors match well, use 157gsm / 58 lb gloss or matte art paper for your end sheets.

Common Coffee Table Book Sizes

A coffee table book is an oversized hardcover bound book. Coffee table books are designed for presentation. They should impress, intrigue, and catch the eye. While the exact dimensions depend on your content, how many photographs and illustrations you include, and the layout and orientation, most coffee table books are large, printed on premium art paper, and bound in hardcovers. A landscape-oriented collection of black-and-white or full-color art photography may be larger than an anthology of your verse; and a memoir, family history, or travelogue may better suit a large portrait format. Here's a handy coffee table book size chart. Explore the possibilities to help you to decide which size would best suit your project.

Common Coffee Table Book Sizes
Square Sizes 8" x 8" 8.5" x 8.5" 9" x 9" 10" x 10" 10.5" x 10.5" 11" x 11" 12" x 12"
Portrait
6" x 9"
8" x 10"
8.5" x 11"
8.5" x 12"
9" x 11"
9" x 12"
10" x 12"
Landscape
9" x 6"
10" x 8"
11" x 8.5"
12" x 8.5"
11" x 9"
12" x 9"
12" x 10"

Smaller sizes—even down to 6" x 9" are convenient if you need to enhance a more intimate interior or ‘top off' an elegant stack of grander volumes. Larger sizes make a stronger impression. But you're not limited to the suggestions above. At QinPrinting, we specialize in custom coffee table book printing in any size or format you wish. Only remember that extensive customization incurs higher costs and slower turnaround times because there's more pre-press and setup involved. But for your dream project, or as part of an overall interior décor renovation, the added investment could be worthwhile. It's always your decision.
