Commercial Book Cover Printing & Finishing

A book’s cover represents both its protective shield and its most persuasive sales tool. Whether destined for retail bookstore display or executive corporate boardrooms, book covers demand rich color depth, tactile lamination, and exact spine alignment. Ad King manufactures premium book covers in Okhla Industrial Area Phase 2, New Delhi.

Cover production requires tight integration between pre-press paper calculations and mechanical post-press finishing. An error of just 0.5mm in spine width calculation will offset the front cover artwork. Our technical team calculates spine bulk directly from sample page dummies.

Finishing Capabilities for Distinguish Book Projects

  • Thermal Lamination: Scuff-proof matte, velvety soft-touch, or high-gloss films that protect covers against thumb oils and bookstore shelf wear.
  • Selective Spot UV: Applied via Sakurai screen presses to bring titles, author names, and photography alive with glass-like luster.
  • Hardcover Casewraps: Coated art paper printed and laminated to be wrapped around 2mm to 3mm Kappa boards on our semi-automatic rigid lines.
