What are the ways of designing and printing beautiful albums and binding them?

There are many ways to design and print exquisite albums and binding, and the following Zhonghui Design lists some of the main ways:

Digital printing: Digital printing technology is one of the most commonly used printing methods, which can adapt to a variety of different paper materials, and can achieve high-quality, fast and low-cost printing results.

Offset printing: Offset printing is a traditional printing method that is usually used for large-scale printing. It has the characteristics of full color, clear layering, and high fineness, but it requires high cost and time cost.

**Anti-counterfeiting printing: This printing method uses special printing equipment and technology, which can effectively prevent piracy and copying, and protect the intellectual property rights of original works.

Hot stamping, concave and convex printing: These printing methods can add a certain texture and visual effect to the album to achieve a better visual experience.

Hand binding: Hand binding usually uses methods such as nail mounting or saddle nailing, which can make the album more personalized and unique.

Paperback: Paperback is a relatively simple way to bind and is suitable for albums with fewer pages.

Copper buckle binding: Copper buckle binding is a relatively old way of binding, which is usually suitable for fields such as printed art or cultural heritage.

1.Perfect binding:

Binding method: The book block is milled by a milling cutter, and a special adhesive is used to glue the beautifully designed cover and the text together and bind it into a book.

Features: Ordinary and practical, suitable for all kinds of document binding, the size of the finished product is not limited, but as far as possible greater than 64 open. The thickness of the spine can be up to 5 cm.

The visual effect of the binding can be improved by choosing cover paper with a special texture or color. When there is no cover, it can also be made into a mounting effect.

2.Horseback riding.

Binding method: fold and match the cover and book block, bind and cut into a book; The binding book is visible on the fold of the cover of the bound book.

Features: The book block can be completely flattened, suitable for document binding with a small number of pages, and the size of the finished product is not limited, such as conference materials, training materials, product descriptions, etc.

3.Iron hoop.

Binding method: cut the cover and book block into finished products, use a punching machine to punch holes at the binding edge, and extrude the metal ring through the holes into a book;

Features: The book block has good flatness, easy to read, the text can be changed at will, does not affect the binding effect, the size of the finished product is not limited, but as far as possible greater than 64 open, the maximum thickness of the book block can reach 25mm;

4.Hard hardcover.

Binding method: The book block is glued, and after the finished product is cut, the plug cloth is pasted; The cover is then printed and pasted on a Dutch board to form a book cover, and the book block and cover are connected by the backing paper to form a book.

Features: Beautiful and exquisite, belongs to a more luxurious binding method, often used in bidding, VI manuals, albums, commemorative albums and other high-end products. The paper used for the book block should not be too thick, otherwise the flatness will be poor when flipping. Usually A4 hardcover means that the book block size is A4

5.Butterfly hardcover.

Binding method: the text is printed on one side, after the indentation in the center, it is framed in pairs according to the order of the document, and then the finished product is cut and the plug cloth is pasted; The cover is then printed and pasted on a Dutch board to form a book cover, and the book block and cover are connected by the backing paper to form a book.

6.Soft Butterfly Hardcover: No book case; The cover is directly connected to the text, and the book block is treated in the same way as the butterfly hardcover.

After the careful design of the designer, the album is to carry out the binding steps, the binding of the album is also very knowledgeable, according to the customer's requirements for the album is different, the binding form also has its own characteristics, Zhengzhou Saishang design commonly used album binding forms are as follows:

1. Horseback riding. The pages of the book rely on 2 wire nails to connect, and the nails of the staplers that everyone usually uses, the picture book is relatively cheap to order on horseback, but it is not suitable for too thick albums, I feel that the number of pages within 28 pages is already the limit, and the thick booklet is not marked by horseback riding.

2. Flat ordering. The nails rust over time, resulting in loose pages that have been used very little. Another disadvantage is that the flat binding must occupy a certain width of the staple, that is to say, there is a distance between the position of the binding and the book, so that the page can only be in the form of "incomplete opening", which is not very convenient to read, and is generally suitable for more than 300 pages of booklets.

3. Lock the thread. Also known as string binding, although the book block is relatively firm, due to the more stitching on the back of the book, the flatness is poor.

Fourth, wireless binding. The effect of wireless bindings is very good, and at present, a large number of album bindings are bound in this way. However, due to the fact that there is no corresponding industry standard or national standard for the quality of hot melt adhesive, and the use method is not standardized, the quality of the glue binding book has not yet reached a satisfactory degree.

Fifth, the lock line adhesive back binding. Also known as sewing glue binding, the process is to lock the thread first and then glue, and no longer mill the back when gluing. This binding method produces a sturdy and flat booklet, and there are many books that use this method.

Sixth, plastic wire ironing. At present, this method belongs to the more advanced way of loading and staring, and its characteristic is that the bookmark in the book block is bonded twice, and the function of the first bonding is to glue the plastic wire staple foot with the bookpost paper, so that the page in the bookmark can be fixed; The second bonding is to bond the book block of the plastic wire hot binding into the book block by wireless adhesive binding, the book block of this method is very firm, and because it does not use milling back hair, it reduces the impact of poor gum quality on the quality of binding, and it is not too much in China at present.

Binding is like the stitching of the clothes of the album, the careful binding has a good effect on the improvement of the grade of the album, and the customers who have higher requirements for the album have higher requirements for the binding, and the designer must not take it lightly in the album binding.

The electronic business card can be typeset and designed on Meiyin, and there are many templates for Meiyin, all of which are free.

Saddle riding nails, butterfly nails, wireless glue binding, trivia glue binding, hardcover.

Less than 3mm dorsal ridge with saddle nailing.

Butterfly nails are rarely used, and thicker ones should not be used this way.

Cordless glue binding is the most common, and magazines issued outside are generally cordless glue.

After this method of trivial line glue binding, the inner page can be spread out a little, and it is recommended to use this kind of inner page across the map, and then it is recommended to do trivial line glue binding if the inner page paper is too thick.

Hardcover is the most upscale way of stapleting, and the cover is hard-shell.

The common printing and binding methods of corporate albums include saddle nails, sewing glue binding, wireless glue binding and coil binding like desk calendars. Saddle nails are the kind of middle staples, the general number of pages is a multiple of 4, and there are more saddle nails between 8-32p.

1. Text: The font turns forward to the curve of the film, otherwise it is easier to skip words after the film!

2. **: Generally more than 350dpi is ideal, it is recommended that the minimum should not be lower than 250dpi, otherwise the printing will not be clear enough! (Try not to use ** on the network, the quality is too poor).

3. If the texture of the special paper is relatively coarse, communicate with the printing factory, how many lines of printing is better, and tell the film factory to issue the film according to the number of lines. (Normal is 250 lines).

4. Poor binding and selling: If your album is bound on horseback or bound by threading, your album is best set at 48p or 52p(Because album bindings are basically multiples of 4!)

Once you've confirmed the binding, tell the film company or printer to have them put it on for you.

5. If special paper needs to do special printing, it is more complicated, I hope you can communicate well with the printing factory before sending the film! (Paper and special craft samples can be brought with you.) Generally, paper shops that sell specialty paper will have samples of special printing, which can be requested).

6. Before the film, you need to do a good job of bleeding: that is, to expand outward by 2 3mm in the part of ** and the color block Qingming to the edge, so as to facilitate the error control of the final cutting product, and there will be no white edges.

Zhonghui Design (professional album design company) answer:

In album design and printing, the commonly used paper is as follows:

Ice white coated paper: This kind of paper is usually used in albums with very high requirements for color reproduction, such as product albums in clothing, jewelry and other industries. It has a smooth surface and works well in color reproduction.

Matte coated paper: the surface of matte coated paper has a certain roughness, which can improve the texture and layering of the album, this kind of paper is also more commonly used, usually used in corporate brochures, product introductions, etc.

Offset paper: Offset paper has a smooth surface and is more suitable for printing words and patterns. This kind of paper is easy to fold and process, so it is more commonly used in folding albums.

Bleached kraft paper: The surface of bleached kraft paper seems to have a natural feel, and it is often used to make handicraft albums, such as handmade leather products, handmade paper art, etc.

Pearlescent paper: Pearlescent paper has a certain metallic luster on the surface, which is very suitable for printing albums that require a high gloss effect. This paper is often used in product brochures in industries such as beauty cosmetics and luxury goods.

Zhonghui designed original album works.

Generally speaking, coated paper is more commonly used, and coated paper is divided into two kinds: Yaguang copper and double-light copper, which can be. Because coated paper prints albums, the restoration effect of ** color is the most ideal. If you have special requirements, you can choose some special paper, you can let the service provider bring special paper patterns by you to choose, and then don't worry about letting the service provider try to print a few pieces of paper you choose to see the effect, of course, the cost is paid by you.

There are many types of special paper, tens of thousands of kinds, and it is inconvenient to talk about them one by one here. However, it is not right for the person to go to the store just now, the printed paper is not available in the store, it is sold by professional paper stores, and they are generally not operated externally, they only serve printing companies and advertising companies, design companies and other legal entities.

Printing process.

1. Film and proofing. The original manuscripts used in printing are generally divided into text manuscripts, picture manuscripts, photographic manuscripts, etc. Those who have recently used the physical object to directly separate colors can avoid the waste and color loss of the original manuscript.

2. Imposition, exposure PS version. The output is sent to a PC film that can be printed by the device, and the technical term is film film. The PS version can be printed on the machine with a film film, which is equivalent to the first negative. It is an indispensable process for precision printing.

3. Printing on the machine. Imposition, exposure PS plate, and the film used in printing and plate making are called film films, and in order to chase color when printing, film films must be produced, otherwise they cannot be printed. Out of the film is to make a good layout.

4. Post-processing, pasting (envelopes, handbags, packaging boxes, hardcover book covers, card boxes).

5. Inspect the cloth factory, binding (glue, hardcover, saddle binding, flat binding, simple binding, sticky surface).

Precautions. 1. Pre-printing: the process of completing film and proofing is calculated per P, design, filming, proofing, printing, and imposition are generally priced in A4 units (210 285), if there is a fold, calculated according to the actual size.

Film film is a necessity on the machine, and printing proofing is the most basic basis for the machine to check the color.

2. Printing: The key link to the completion of the print is printing, and the pricing standard is the color order, that is, each color of each Qi Zhengling paper, and the folio is generally printed from 5 orders, and less than 5 orders are calculated according to 5 orders. If there is a spot color, such as a special pattern for enterprises to print spot colors (pantone ink) or gold printing, silver printing, etc.

Please be sure to indicate that it will increase from 4 colors to 5 colors and 6 colors.

How to design the album printing. Printing company brochure design is a very basic job. Generally speaking, in this process, we are mainly responsible for the overall conception of the album, and combine the elements of the album, such as **, text, and color.

Albums are used to reflect the concerns of a company and brand, and are targeted advertisements that allow consumers to see these albums when browsing albums and understand the culture and strength of a company. Brochures need to be linked to businesses and products. Therefore, the album must be targeted.

Therefore, in the creative design of the first world, it is necessary to establish the corresponding design and planning process. Before designing a brochure, it is necessary to communicate with the designer. After communicating with the designer, the designer must understand the purpose of the album and the type of album, so that the designer can better design and express the content to be promoted, how to reflect the characteristics of the product and its advantages.
