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.

2. High-end book interiors

Depending on your books needs and your budget, you can choose between black and white printing or colour printing. The type of paper that you choose can be influenced by the colour of your interior, too. Talk to your book designer and get their opinion on your book’s interior.

3. Gatefold family tree

Family tree’s are often quite large and cannot fit nicely onto one or two pages. Using a gatefold in your book allows you to have the family tree on one page that is folded and concealed within the book.
