Book Printing
Knowledge / Book Printing
Book printing involves a sequence of specification decisions — board grade, GSM, lamination, size, binding — where each choice either constrains or enables the next. A board book page that warps, delaminate, or fails export testing almost always traces back to one of these decisions made without full information.
The articles in this section address the questions that come up most consistently when publishers and authors are commissioning board books in India. Each article covers one question in depth: not a general checklist, but a complete explanation of the mechanism behind the recommendation.
Board construction, Indian mill availability, GSM-to-size matching, export compliance thresholds, and what to ask your printer before confirming the specification.
BOPP gloss, matte, soft-touch, PET, aqueous, and UV — what each does structurally, where each fails, and the export compliance implications of each choice.
