FAQ's
What does ‘PP’ mean?
‘PP’ commonly stands for “pages” in the context of booklets or documents, indicating the total number of pages.
What paper thickness is best for DL perfect bound booklets?
The paper thickness depends on your preference and budget. Common choices include 90gsm, 130gsm, or 150gsm for inner pages and a heavier weight for the cover, such as 250gsm or 350gsm.
What type of paper is best for printing DL perfect bound booklets?
The paper type should be chosen based on the desired finish and feel. Gloss paper offers a shiny and reflective surface, silk provides a smooth and semi-matt appearance and uncoated paper gives a natural and textured feel. Consider the content and visual style of your booklet to determine the most suitable paper type that compliments your overall design.
How will DL perfect bound booklets look and feel with lamination?
DL perfect bound booklets with gloss lamination will have a shiny and reflective appearance with a smooth texture. On the other hand, matt lamination will result in a non-reflective finish with colours and images appearing more muted. Opting for soft-touch lamination will result in a smooth, suede-like texture with a sophisticated matt appearance.
How will DL perfect bound booklets appear with flat or raised spot UV?
Flat spot UV will have a glossy and smooth appearance in specific areas, creating a subtle contrast with the surrounding matt finish. On the other hand, raised spot UV will exhibit a textured and tactile effect in the designated areas, providing a noticeable raised surface for a more pronounced visual and sensory impact.
What will the DL perfect bound booklet cover look like with foil added?
When foiling is applied to the DL perfect bound booklet cover, it will exhibit a luxurious and metallic sheen, adding a reflective and decorative element to the design. The foil can create a variety of effects, such as gold or silver accents, enhancing the visual appeal and perceived value of the booklet cover.
