This will likely be a matt laminate. Gloss lamination is more readable and again adds to the tactile quality of a page. Often lamination is used increase the life of printed brochures, reports and accounts, book jackets and most other forms of printed material.

Foil Blocking
These finishes can provide the ultimate in decorative appeal. They are not limited to gold and silver foils, but extend to an impressive range of pigmented, holographic and security foils. All of these can be combined with embossed images to produce varying tactile effects – any one of which will enhance the printed message and provide shelf appeal for greetings cards, stationary, magazine covers, brochures etc.

Binding, Stapling, and Stitching
Most brochures, booklets, magazines, catalogues and many other printed documents are bound using saddle stitching utilising wire staples holding the pages together. A machine drives them through its backbone fold to the centerfold, where they clench. A saddle-stitched printed piece lies almost flat when opened, a convenience for readers.
