Step 3
Binding
How your pages are held together — for looks, durability and how the book opens.
Perfect bound (paperback)
The classic paperback look. Pages and cover are glued at the spine for a clean, printable, square edge. Ideal for novels and most books.
Saddle stitch
Folded sheets stapled along the spine. Perfect for thinner booklets, programmes and zines.
Spiral / coil
A plastic coil that lets the book lie completely flat and turn 360°. Great for workbooks, cookbooks and manuals.
Wire-O
Twin-loop wire binding for a smart, professional flat-lying finish — popular for presentations and planners.
Hardcover (case bound)
Rigid board covers for a durable, premium book that looks the part on any shelf.
Linen with dust jacket
A cloth-finish hardcover with a printed dust jacket — the most prestigious option, ideal for gifts and keepsakes.
Step 4
Interior colour
Match the ink to your content — from plain text to rich, image-heavy pages.
Standard black & white
Crisp black & white for novels, memoirs and other text-heavy books. The most economical choice.
Premium black & white
Heavier ink coverage — great for books with black & white photos, graphs or illustrations.
Standard colour
For books that are mostly text with a few colour images, charts or highlights.
Premium colour
The best colour on every page, with rich tones and heavy coverage — ideal for photo and children's books.
Step 5
Paper
The feel of the page — weight, colour and finish.
60# Cream
Traditional cream stock, easy on the eyes — the go-to for black & white novels and workbooks.
60# White
Versatile, economical white paper found in a wide range of books.
80# White
Ultra-smooth, bright white with high opacity — made for photo books, magazines and comics.
100# White
Our heaviest stock, for durable, vibrant pages where the images really matter.
Step 6
Cover finish
The first thing your reader touches. Choose a finish — and add a premium touch if you like.
Matte
A subtle, natural, low-glare finish that resists fingerprints and wear — understated and modern.
Gloss
A shiny, vibrant coating that makes cover colours and imagery pop.
Foiling & embossing
Metallic foil and raised embossing for titles and logos that catch the eye and the light.
Spot UV
A glossy varnish on selected areas of a matte cover for a striking, tactile contrast.
