Creme and white paper:

For all paperback sizes we have white or creme interior paper available. White paper thickness is 75gsm/50lb. Creme (also called off-white) thickness is 85gsm/55lb. All paper is acid free and meets all ANSI standards for archival quality paper. We find creme a popular choice for fiction books.

Paperback covers:

Paperback covers are printed on white, 240gsm/90lb cover, printed in full colour and laminated. Giving the cover a gloss look. Paperback books binding are perfect bound.

Hardback covers:

Black and White interior books have two hardback options. Either full colour cover which is glued onto a hardback board and laminated. Or a durable Kivar acrylic latex-saturated linen-weave covers available in Blue or Gray with a full colour wrap around dust jacket. Please note that unlike paperbacks that print in 24-48 hours once an order is received from the distribution channel hardbacks take 8 to 10 days to print.
