High-end book binding and print finishes

Green Hill Publishing can design your personal publishing project to be beautiful and timeless by taking into account high-end print finishes.

As personal projects become treasured keepsakes or family heirlooms, they often feature highly technical design in the interior of the book, and the covers are commonly hardback with high-quality treatments such as embossing, debossing, foiling, spot-gloss, and more.
