Post-press finishing
Printing is half the job. How the finished item looks is largely decided by what happens afterwards.
Finishing turns a printed sheet into a product: trimmed to size, prepared to fold, protected, bound. Which operations apply depends on the product and material.
Not every operation suits every material — heavy board needs creasing before folding, and some surfaces do not take certain laminates. Feasibility is confirmed per order.
Operations
- Trimming to size and sheet cutting
- Creasing — preparing the fold line
- Folding to the chosen scheme
- Lamination and protective coatings
- Corner rounding
- Perforation — tear-off lines
- Drilling holes and fitting eyelets
- Collating and set assembly
- Binding the block by the chosen method
Typical combinations
- Business cards: trimming, optional lamination and rounded corners
- Booklets: creasing and folding
- Coupons and tickets: perforation and numbering
- Banners: edge finishing and eyelets
- Catalogues: collating, binding and final trim
Tell us in advance
- Planned folds and where they fall
- Whether holes are needed and exactly where
- Whether the run must be split into sets
- Any onward packaging or labelling
Who it suits
- Clients ordering multipage products
- Companies with handout material
- Events with tickets and coupons
- Anyone who needs a clean finished look
What to include in your request
- The product and the run size
- The operations you need, or the whole task
- Positions of folds, holes and tear-off lines
- The material if it is already chosen
- How the product will be used afterwards
Good to know
- Availability of each operation depends on material and format.
- Lamination changes the look and behaviour of the surface — factor that into your choice.
