The right paper

Choosing the right paper for book printing

Here you will find information about our various paper types for book printing. We offer you an overview of bulky paper, coated papers, and hardcover covers. The choice of the right paper type can have a significant influence on the design. Soft paper types are particularly suitable for books with pure text content. In contrast, photo books or books with technical content benefit from smooth papers. Additionally, you can choose from different paper weights.
