Edge printing: the design continues beyond the cover
Edge printing applies colour, patterns or images to the page edges — the surface formed by the thickness of the paper, visible when the book is closed. The artwork covers this area, making the edges a visual part of the publication.
It can extend the cover’s design concept, incorporate an illustration or add a distinctive detail to the closed book.
Available for the Hardback Book, Softcover Book, Sewn Binding and Perfect Binding (PUR).
Options for your publication

How to choose your catalogues, books and magazines
Understand your printing choices and check product specifications before preparing your files.
How do stapled, perfect, sewn and wire binding differ?
Staples join sheets along the fold; perfect binding fixes the inner pages to the spine with glue. Sewn binding joins folded sections with thread. Wire binding passes through punched sheets for convenient reference. Compare each with your publication’s volume and use.
Are Perfect Binding and Softcover Book the same product?
No. These are separate products sharing a binding process. Compare the sizes, papers and cover options in each configurator.
Should I choose a soft or hard cover?
A soft cover is flexible; a hard cover uses a rigid structure. Consider the intended use and presentation. Cover type and binding method are separate choices.
How do I count book or catalogue pages?
Each side is one page; a sheet has two sides. Include blank pages in your file and check whether the configurator requests a total including the cover or only the inner pages.
Must a stapled magazine have a multiple of four pages?
Folded sheets form groups of four pages. Plan your content accordingly and check the accepted totals and how the cover is counted. Review the template before adding pages.
Which paper should I choose for text and photographs?
Compare white or cream uncoated paper for text-led publications and matt or gloss coated paper for image-led content. Weight, handling and available product options also matter.
Can I print a black-and-white interior with a colour cover?
Products offering these options may allow different printing settings for the cover and interior. Check the configurator rather than assuming this combination is available for every item.
How do I calculate the spine width?
Spine width depends on page count, paper and binding. Use the measurement or template for your final configuration; do not reuse a spine from a book with different paper or pagination.
How should I prepare cover and interior PDFs?
Follow the product instructions and template for the cover, spine, endpapers and interior. Check whether separate files and single pages are required; do not impose spreads yourself.
When should I choose web offset printing?
Consider web offset products for volume distribution. Compare available sizes, papers, page counts and quantities; suitability depends on the specific job.
What does “Publication type” mean in the services section?
This field distinguishes commercial and editorial publications for VAT purposes; it does not refer to the binding type. Read the field’s help before selecting an option. The editorial option depends on the criteria applicable to the content and is subject to verification by Ask-to-Print; selecting it does not itself guarantee a reduced rate.
What is book edge printing?
It is colour or artwork printed on the page edges, visible when the book is closed. Check availability and artwork preparation instructions for your chosen product.
