PRINTED INSERTS & END SHEETS
What’s on the table with printed inserts?
Adding your own printed inserts between sections or around sections
The great thing about building your own book is you can add your own printed inserts between sections or wrapped around sections. You can really make it your book. Long or short run, the print and build it all done in-house on great quality presses.
Inserts can be printed in
1 colour or full colour.
4 page inserts (or multiples of 4) can be positioned at the front or back of the book, between book block sections or wrapped around sections.
If you only want 2 pages, these can be “tipped in” which just means glued or striped in. The small down side of tipping in is that the lay flat properties are not quite as good as for a 4 page section.
Paper options for
your inserts
Inserts can be printed on uncoated paper which matches the feel of the notebook pages, or on coated paper which has a glossier finish but a different feel to the notebook pages.
Printed inserts can be added to quantities as low as 15+ books to as many as 100,000+
Printed end sheets are also an option
Why stop with inserts? Our standard end sheets are either black or white, and both are great options, but end sheets with your own design are also possible for a fully custom option.
Prints can be in one, two, or full colour on an uncoated paper. Generally speaking, printed end sheets become economical on quantities above 100 notebooks/diaries.
Customise the inside of your diary
We offer a number of ways to make your diary custom on the outside, but it’s also possible to carry that through on the inside. From printed end sheets and inserts, to a completely custom book block, we offer a number of ways to let your diary work hard for you, while its working hard for your customers.
Adding inserts to your diary
Our inserts are part of the book structure, not added in to a ready made block.
This gives them excellent lay flat and they really are a part of your book. Our book blocks are made up of eleven 32 page “sections” which are thread sewn into the cover. Printed inserts must be added in multiples of 4 pages and can be added as a section of their own, or wrapped around a 32 page diary section. They can be positioned between or around any or all of the sections in your book.
If wrapped around a section of the diary block, there will be 2 insert pages before, and 2 pages after the diary block section.
Depending on the number of insert pages you decide on, you can have your pages appearing throughout the diary.
Inserts can be printed on uncoated paper (which matches the pages of the diary), or on coated paper which is glossier and has a different feel to the pages of the diary.
Custom end sheets
End sheets are the page that helps keep the join between the cover and the book bock tidy. Our standard end sheets are either black or white on uncoated paper which matches the feel of the diary pages. As an option we can print a custom end page for you (it must be on uncoated paper) in 1, 2 or full colour. This option does make a strong impression as you open the diary, and becomes more cost effective as quantities exceed 350.
