For high-quality coffee table book printing, sewn hardcover (case binding) is the preferred binding method due to its strength, durability, and premium finish. This process involves sewing printed pages into groups (signatures) after folding and collating, then attaching them to a rigid case cover. The key advantages of hardcover binding include:
Refined, high-end appearance that enhances the book’s visual value
Strong structural integrity for long-lasting durability
Lay-flat performance for comfortable viewing of large images
Excellent support for thick books, heavy paper, and oversized formats
Some coffee table books may also use sewn perfect binding or lay-flat binding options, depending on design and functional requirements. If you’re unsure which binding best suits your project or can’t find the option you need, please contact our expert team or visit our “binding” pages for detailed guidance.
To enhance your custom coffee table book’s appeal, durability, and functionality, we offer a wide range of special features, including:

Glossy lamination adds a shiny, reflective finish that enhances colors, protects the cover from scratches.

Matte lamination provides a smooth, non-reflective finish that feels soft to the touch, reduces glare.

Soft touch lamination creates a velvety, suede-like finish that feels luxurious, reduces fingerprints.

Spot UV adds glossy, raised highlights to specific design areas, creating contrast, enhancing detail.

Varnish provides a protective coating that enhances durability, reduces smudging, and adds subtle shine.

Foil stamping applies metallic or pigmented foil onto the surface using heat and pressure, creating eye-catching, luxurious accents.

Embossing creates a raised, three-dimensional design on paper or cardstock, adding texture, depth.

Debossing creates an indented design pressed into paper or cardstock, adding subtle texture and depth.

Gilded edges apply a thin layer of metallic foil—often gold or silver—to the edges of book pages.

Sprayed edges add bold color or artistic detail, transforming book pages into eye-catching, premium design features.

Custom silk ribbon bookmarks add elegance, personalization, and enhanced functionality for a premium presentation.

Tip-in image printing enhances cloth covers by adding premium images to selected areas for visual impact.
