Prepress preparation of books

Printing books from one copy

Making books is a complex process that begins with detailed planning. Together with the printer, you specify the paper, the printing process, and the number of copies; then, you work with the graphic designer to design the cover, binding, and layout. The prepress process deals with the print data itself to ensure that the finished printed book should exactly fit your concept.

For the production of books, it is vital that all employees of the Good traditions creative workshop have a continuous relationship of processes, know-how and commitments, as well as constantly monitor individual working procedures, which requires teamwork at all levels.

Making books-the path to your book begins with the design of the book

The manuscript is finished: now you want to see the book in print. As an author, publisher, or client, you may already have a specific idea of what a book should look like. Our experts will help you to realize your ideas on the design of books. They know what layout, cover and configuration is right for your book and will appeal to readers.

The cover is an important advertising and information tool: it was developed in the creative workshop "Good traditions" by experienced graphic designers. The book cover represents the first visible reference to a book in any advertising campaign, as well as the first contact between the reader and the book, conveying much more than just the name and title of the author. We will be happy to offer you comprehensive advice on the design of the cover, as well as the choice of the correct format, binding and paper.

Prepress and planning - your book goes to print

Separate stages of production of the book are closely connected in a creative workshop "Good traditions". Smooth cooperation between our various departments, from prepress to printing logistics, is a major contributing factor to our high print quality, punctual delivery and accurate costing.

Small and mini-editions are ideal for digital printing, thanks to digital printing, the production of books has become an affordable and economical option, and not only for publishers. If a large print run is required, the speed and accuracy of offset printing make it a suitable choice.

After printing the book, it must be bound. Raw printed sheets come from printing plates and are folded, intertwined, cut, and bound. Whether it's a non-thread binding or thread stitching, a mass market book or a collector's copy, we can also give you comprehensive advice at this stage of production.

Here you can order the packaging of the book in a gift box, which is suitable if you ordered a book for a gift or personal collection.
