BINDING
Standard hard cover binding is typically the least expensive of the hard cover binding options, and works well for books with smaller page counts (as low as 24 pages, up to 220 pages). The signatures of the yearbook are gathered together into a book block and then bound into a hard case. This type of binding is also known as library binding
because it is very durable. Smyth sewn hard cover binding has the added strength of overlapped stitches, and can be used on books that have 64 or more pages. The
advantage of this binding style is that the book will more easily lie flat when open. Typically, you’ll see this binding style in reference books such as medical books, law books, etc.
PAPER WEIGHT
Yearbooks are traditionally printed on a coated glossy paper with a standard 80-pound paper weight for excellent opacity and durability. Of course, you can always request
100-pound paper for a more distinctive, durable feel.
ENDSHEETS
Endsheets are the thick paper attached to both the inside front and back covers of a hard cover yearbook and the flyleaf (first and last sheets in a book before and after the book content). The quality of the paper is usually different than what is used in the rest of your yearbook. Listed at left are the standard colors available to you. If you’re looking for a color not found here or would like to get pricing on the cost of printing your own design on an endsheet, just ask!
HEAD AND FOOT BANDS
Head and foot bands are small ornamental bands, generally made of silk or cotton, which are attached to the top and bottom of a hard cover book block. They serve as a decorative way to hide the binding application or stitching on the spine of a yearbook. They come in a variety of solid and “striped” colors.
- goldenrod
- royal blue
- black
- navy blue
- red
- felt gray
- forest green
Hard Cover Board Weight
Binder’s board is the most common material used to make book covers. The heavier the board weight, the stiffer the cover will be when trying to bend it. Our standard cover weight is 90 pt. Heavier, 120 pt. and 160 pt. board weights are also available on request.
FULL-COLOR COVERS
The full-color printed cover is the easiest and most popular cover and is available in both soft and hard covers. It is very popular because of the stunning number of colors and design techniques you can use to immediately capture the reader’s attention. You can choose one of our professionally designed stock covers or you can create your own custom cover design! A durable coating is applied to all full-color yearbook covers to ensure the colors remain vibrant and the books stand the test of time.
LEATHERETTE COVERS
Leatherette covers are made of synthetic materials that are made to look like leather but are much more durable. Typically, leatherette yearbooks use foil stamping, embossing and/or debossing to accentuate the school name and cover design. Choose from this generous selection of leatherette colors to make a great first impression of your yearbook!
EMBOSSING AND DEBOSSING
Embossing is a technique which creates a raised, or 3-dimensional, image on a piece of paper. It is typically accomplished with a combination of heat and pressure on the paper. Embossing can also be used with foil stamping or on a full-color cover to create an even more unique look. Debossing uses the same technique as embossing, except the impression is heat-pressed into the surface of the paper so that an image is depressed (lowered) instead of raised. As with embossing, debossing can be used with foil stamping or on a full-color cover to create special visual effects and textures.
FOIL STAMPING
Foil stamping involves the use of heat to transfer metallic foil to a solid surface such as a yearbook cover. As with embossing and debossing, a die is needed to “stamp” the foil into the cover material. Foil stamping can be combined with embossing or debossing to create a very striking 3 dimensional image. While gold and silver metallic foil never go out of style, the additional colors shown (at right) are gaining popularity as well—choose colors that give your book a one-of-a-kind look!
