Printing on edges

Gold or silver edge printing

For an even more luxurious finish, you can choose gold or silver edge printing. This technique adds a refined and elegant metallic shine to your book, making it ideal for luxury editions, special releases, or high-end publications. Gold and silver edges elevate your book into a true collector’s item.

• Premium finish with glossy gold or silver edges
• Perfect for exclusive editions, limited runs, and gift books
• Enhances the value and visual appeal of your publication

Full color edge printing

We also offer full-color edge printing — where the outer edges of your pages are printed in vibrant, detailed colors. This makes your book stand out not just on the inside, but also on the outside. Ideal for creative projects, branded publications, or art books that deserve to make a bold visual statement.

• Vivid color printing on all book edges
• Perfect for art books, branding, and visually striking projects
• Makes every book unique and eye-catching on the shelf

How to supply your print file?

For edge printing, you need to provide a separate cover file specifically for the printed edges. Your designer will usually know exactly how to prepare this file. If not — or if you do not have a designer — our team can take care of this for you and ensure your file is perfectly set up for edge printing.

Our online price calculator does not (yet) include an option for book edge printing. If you would like to know the edge printing price or additional cost for your project, our account managers will gladly prepare a custom quote — free of charge and without obligation.
