Chapter 5 66 Cover variations A book is judged by its cover! If you really want to make your book stand out from the rest, we offer a number of special printing and finishing options. Of course, there are many more and if you have something in mind or have seen something special, please contact us to discuss the possibilities. Always have your design technically reviewed by Ridderprint in advance to avoid disappointment. As 95% of the fixed costs are in setting up machines and making stamps etc, therefore we cannot show these special techniques within the print proof. The instructions for these cover variations can be found in your portal. Cover inside printing We can print the inside of the cover. This can be in a nice full-colour, for example, or with a nice pattern. This gives the book even more appeal. The cover of this manual is printed on the inside. White printing We can also add a white inkt to the cover. For example, in combination with a craft (brown) cardboard. This gives your cover a unique look. See example on page 67. Softcover with “flaps” A softcover cover with flaps is also an option. The flaps can have a maximum width of 14 cm per flap. Both on the front and/or back of the book are possible. Hardcover This is a book with a hard cardboard, non-bendable cover and gives a luxurious look. It can be provided with a glossy or matt laminate, but can also be made in fabric or even leather, for example. A hardcover cover can have printing on the inside. For this purpose, a coloured endpaper is used or the endpaper is printed with a desired colour or pattern. A hardcover can be expensive. Contact us for more information.
