Bindery and Finishing
Cello Finishing
Cello Finishing is short for celloglazing. A thin plastic film is applied on top of the printing to seal, protect and finish it. Both gloss and matt cello can be printed either double or single sided.
Creasing/Scoring
Creasing/Scoring is when your printing needs folding, creasing is important to ensure your sheets don’t split. It’s the internal delamination of a sheet by compression along the line where folding is required. Creasing is usually required when paper is around 200gsm and above.
Custom Handwork
A team of meticulous individuals completes detail oriented pieces with anything from custom kitting to glitter and ribbons. The possibilities are endless and so are our team’s capabilities.
Deboss/Embossing
Deboss means to press an image into paper so it lies below the surface. Emboss is the process of pressing an image into paper so it lies above the surface.
Deckle Edge
Deckle edge is more-or-less a paper treatment, as the edge or edges of the substrate is torn giving it a ragged, decorative look. If you’ve had any printmaking classes, you might be familiar with Rag paper; rag paper is high-quality paper that leaves the papermaking machine with is torn edges left as is.
Die Cutting
Die Cutting is the main method of using metal dyes to give paper products specific shapes or designs that can’t be created by a straight cut on a web press or guillotine cutter.
Drilling
Drilling is a technique used in trade binderies for providing large quantities of paper with round holes. The paper can be processed as loose leafs and in brochures (stitched, perfect bound). The holes usually serve for storage (filing), sometimes for decorative purposes.
Foil Stamping
Foil is a special film-backed material. Foil stamping is the application of foil to paper. A heated dye is stamped onto the foil, making it stick to the surface and leaving the design of the dye on the paper. Combine it with embossing to create a 3D image.
