No, we do not. Each customer’s requirements can be very different so we don’t keep standardised templates.
A spot varnish is a glossy or dull varnish coating that is applied to a selected portion of a printed page. This finishing technique is used to highlight or emphasise a particular design element such as text or an image, rather than the entire sheet. When applied, the contrast between the spot varnish and the surrounding matte surface creates a striking visual and textural effect.
Perfect binding is a bookbinding technique where the three open sides of a printed publication are trimmed after assembly to reveal sharp, clean edges. Examples of this widely-used method include softcover or paperback books and higher page count magazines as well as business reports, manuals, catalogues, directories, coffee table books and marketing materials. There are many benefits to perfect binding such as strength and durability, relatively low cost, professional appearance, ease of stacking and the ability to be printed in short runs.
When using perfect binding to finish a project, the thickness of the spine must be at least 2mm, or thick enough to glue into a square spine. This usually equates to around 25 sheets of paper, or 50 pages, although this can be worked around by using a thicker paper stock.
Foiling, also known as foil blocking or foil stamping, is a finishing technique where pigment or metallic foil is applied to another material using heat and pressure to create lustrous printed designs. Most commonly used on business cards, gift cards, stationery and brochure covers, foiling can also be used to make the antennas in RFID tags. RFID stickers or labels can cleverly track the whereabouts of packaged goods in the supply chain through radio-frequency identification.
Embossed printing is a finishing method used to raise an image, logo or text to create a three-dimensional design. It is achieved by pushing a metal stamp into paper or cardstock from underneath so that the design is higher than the surrounding paper. Ink or foil can then be applied for added impact and is a popular choice for stylish business cards as well as high-end labels, marketing materials and office stationery. In addition to paper and card, surfaces such as metal, leather and textiles can also be embossed.
