Print / Paper & finishing

The part
you can feel.

Paper, folds, binding and surface details influence the finished object. We choose them alongside the artwork and the way it will be used.

Printed page edges and the meeting of cover and inner stock
A photograph can introduce the paper. A sample settles how it feels.

Textured

A visible or tactile surface becomes part of the design. A sample helps judge how that texture works with small detail and larger ink areas.

Colored

The paper itself can supply a strong part of the palette. Ink and stock should be considered together rather than as separate color choices.

Discuss this paper

After the press

Shape the
finished piece.

Trim

The agreed finished dimensions guide the cut. Important content sits comfortably inside the final edge.

Fold

A fold changes how a reader meets the artwork. Panel order and opening direction are established before the file is approved.

Bind

Pages are gathered into a form that suits the publication. Paper and page count are reviewed with the proposed binding.

Pack

We agree whether pieces are packed as individual sets, grouped editions or separate components for the next handover.

Samples matter

Feel it before
you settle it.

Screens can explain a direction, but they cannot show the actual weight, texture or opening behavior of a paper object. We use samples and dummies when those choices need a physical reference.
