In making your book, we need a little bit extra image on your cover and anything in your text that you want to end at the far side of your page, to ensure that color will show up all the way around the page. For example, if you have a picture that covers one whole page and you do not want any white showing, we need you to either make the image slightly bigger than the page or add color to the sides of the page. We ask that you do this so that we can get a good trim on your book, have color on every edge and to make it as close to the size as you want it to be. We run your text, in most cases, four-up to minimize cost and then cut the four down to individual copies which will then get bound to your cover.

If span≥30m, the cost of space frame is lower than the other structures.
If span <30m & ≥20m, the cost of space frame is almost same to other steel structures.
If span <20m, the cost of space frame is higher than other structures.

Space frame is a new type of roof truss load-bearing structure, and it is multiple statically indeterminate structure system. Space frame structure is a spatial structure connected by several pipe and node ball upon some regular pattern of geometric figure. It changes the ordinary frame structure of the general plane stress state, and it can bear the loads from all sides, even though the individual pipe in damage, it can automatically adjust the member forces, to maintain structural safety.
Steel structure is classified by structural material; space frame is classified by the structural form.

Perfect binding is the type of binding found on most soft-cover books on book store shelves. The pages and cover are glued together at the spine and the other three sides are then trimmed so that you end up with perfect edges. It has a very professional appearance and is relatively inexpensive to produce. The square spinal edge allows the book’s title and related information to be printed on the spine providing highly visible branding of the document.
We offer a full range of bindings including saddle stitching, perfect bound, flexibound, smyth sewn, side sewn, lay-flat, glue binding, hardcover case bound, coil bound and wire-o bound. Visit our binding options page for more information.
By its nature, saddle stitching requires the book’s page count to be in multiples of four. Keep this in mind during your book layout to avoid any unplanned blank pages. The saddle stitching bindery operation occurs after the pages and cover have been printed, partially folded and settled together. After being joined by staples, the cover and pages of the book are folded tighter together. Some thicker saddle stitched books are trimmed along the edge opposite the spine to keep the pages uniform and neat in appearance. Saddle stitch is most commonly used in:
Programs
Wall calendars
Booklets
Newsletters
Pamphlets
Comic books
Thinner magazines

Glossy paper will bring the full color design bright and shiny, matt coated paper will bring the color rich, but not so shiny like glossy paper so it protect the eyes. Woodfree paper suck the ink more than art paper, but it is good for writing.

There another option is light weight coated paper. Which is cheaper than glossy art or matt art paper. That is usually used for cheap booklet or brochures production.

2) Wire-o binding can accommodate low page counts or high page counts. Wire-o loops come in a variety of sizes to accommodate books of varying thicknesses. The more pages the book has, the larger the wire device and loop diameter must be for proper function and aesthetics. In addition to the natural metal color of silver, wire-o binding is also available in certain painted colors.
3) The pages turn easily and stay put. When opened, the pages of a wire-o bound book rotate around the wire loops with very little resistance. So, unlike a perfect bound or saddle- stitched book, the pages of a wire-o bound book have no spinal tension in them.
4) Wire-o binding works well with index tabs. Because the wire-o binding method allows pages to turn freely and stay put without the need to manually hold them open, it is often the best choice for bound projects that require tabbed page dividers. Dividers with printed tabs are the perfect complement to any reference document – such as a reports, presentations and training manuals. directory, etc.

Bindings
Ideally, a book is something to be treasured by readers for years—read again and again over time. A beautiful and durable binding ensures your book will last. Whether hardcover or soft, we’ve got the perfect binding option for you.
Perfect binding | Hardcover Casebound |
The standard choice for most softcover books. This flexible, glued binding will stand the test of time. | Case binding provides an elegant look with more durability than a perfect bound book. Pages are commonly Smyth sewn bound which allows the pages to lay flat, without havinga gutter in between the 2 page spreads. |
Flexi Bound | Saddle stitching binding |
Flexibound offers a higher perceived value than a traditional paperback and has better protection for the inside text pages. It is commonly bound with Smyth sewn for layflat ability. | We offer perfect bindings for page counts over 16, while most other printers have a minimum page count of 64. A perfect binding is a more durable option for paperback children’s books. |
Wire-O-Bound | Hidden Wire-O Binding |
Wire-O Binding, also known as Twin Loop, Double-Loop, Double-O, Duo-Wire, or simply Wire Binding, is an attractive method for joining the pages and cover of a bound document. | The book is bound with either wire-o or coil binding and concealed with hard covers. The spine can be finished with a square or round back. |
Board Book Binding | Side Sewn |
Extra thick cardboards are mounted together and usually finished with round corners. Pages are be able to layflat. | Side-sewn bindings are particularly well suited to children’s and photo books, as well as other thin-cased projects. As the name implies, a fiber thread is used to sew through the paper stack, which results in a secure binding. |
Some books just need that little something extra. From opulent cover finishes to those unique touches like end sheets, we can make sure your book stands out from the crowd. Imagining something you don’t see listed below? Get in touch to talk about your project!
Headbands/Footbands |
These are narrow strips of cloth either sewn or glued to the top (headband) or the bottom (footband) of the book’s spine to add a finishing touch. |
Foil Stamping |
Foil (often metallic, black, or white) is applied to the cover or spine using a heated die, leaving behind the design of your choosing. |
French Flaps |
Similar to a dust jacket but for softcover books, French flaps are a great place to include praise for your work. |
Embossing |
|
This is the process of creating a raised effect on the cover of a paperback book or dust jacket. Embossing can be used either for emphasis (e.g., raising the title) or texture (pictured above). |
Colored End Sheets |
|
Add a pop of color with end sheets (the first and last pages of the book) in a vibrant hue. |

Varnish
Varnish gives the pages a smooth texture and ‘seals’ the ink or toner. It can be glossy or matte and is mostly used
for high-quality reading material like coffee table books and for magazine covers. Definitely worth mentioning are
spot UV varnishes which are applied only to (a) limited part(s) of the page or cover and then cured by UV light
during the printing process, resulting in a glossy coating that adds texture and focal interest to specific areas
of the printing surface.
Lamination
Laminating a cover means adding a glossy or matte protective layer, making the surface (relatively) water resistant
and sturdier. Hence, this method is mostly chosen for softcover books. High gloss lamination is known to make
colors more vivid and images sharper. Matte lamination is more subdued, yet exudes luxury.
Foil stamping
Using heat and pressure, foil stamping is the process of applying a malleable metallic foil to specific areas of the print surface.
Embossing or debossing
Raising parts of the page or cover, e.g. a book’s title, to give it more texture is referred to as embossing.
Debossing, by contrast, indents parts of the page.
