You have already spent hundreds of hours on your book's manuscript. Now is the time for custom book printing to make your book exceptional from the outside as well. Creating and printing a custom book cover is one of the biggest ways to make your book stand out among the competition. At BookPros, we offer a variety of custom book printing options to help make that happen.

You can choose a gloss finish if you like a lot of shine or matte if you want a less flashy, classic look. Embossing involves layering certain parts of the cover to give it texture. For a quick reference, think of books whose titles you can feel with your fingertips.

Another custom book printing technique is die cutting, where part of the cover is artfully cut out to reveal or emphasize part of another picture underneath. It's like having two covers in one! Spot varnishing, or spot UV, uses colored or clear foils and glosses to highlight parts of a cover with a shiny finish. Spot varnishing as well as using metallic inks can make the title of your book jump out against a matte finish to create a dramatic effect.

Another option in custom book printing is choosing a binding for your book. You can choose between small to oversized paperbacks and hardbound covers for literary printing, or create a spiral-bound cookbook or reference manual. Custom printing also allows for a variety of hardbound styles. Print images directly onto the hardcover, add a dust jacket, or choose linen binding for an old-fashioned look.

Whatever your custom book printing needs may be, at BookPros, we do our best to provide solutions to help you turn your ideal book into reality.
