Cardboard books – hardcover

A cardboard book with a hardcover is a variant of a layflat book. It consists of spreads, thanks to which graphics and texts on adjacent pages form a coherent, fitted whole. We make spreads from 350 g/m2 cardboard. They are printed with high-quality colour printing and glued directly into the classically made hardcover. Spreads are subject to creasing and folding. Then, they are bonding together. During this process, we connect the preceding spread's second side with the next one's first. The pages obtained in this way are twice as thick. The spine does not need to be covered with a layer of glue, which affects the mentioned openability. A cardboard book works well in publications presenting illustrations or photos. It fits titles for children and exclusive product catalogues.

• A spread is a pair of pages observed simultaneously while browsing the book. For example, if the title has 26 pages (including internal cover pages), it contains 13 spreads. The calculator should give this value in the "Number of colour spreads" parameter.
  
• You must prepare the block in PDF format according to the rule that one file page is two pages in the book.
  
• The block file must have at least two millimetres of bleed, but pages placed on the spread cannot have an internal bleed.
  
• The available closed-book formats range from 130 x 148 mm to 297 x 297 mm.
  
• You will apply all popular refinements to a cardboard book with a hardcover. Prepare masks for them in PDF files.
  
• You can enrich a cardboard book with a hardcover with foam. Select the "with foam" option in the "Cardboard thickness" parameter to do this.
