FAQs
There are four steps to producing a softcover for any academic writing project. First, the customized cover design in the desired format (standard A4 format) is required from the customer. In the second step, the softcover is measured and adjusted according to the number of pages. Then, the cover gets printed according to the customer’s design.
In the third step, the printed pages are put into the cover and bound together using a special pressing method. In the final step, the edges are cut to give the work a clean, finished look.
With softcover binding, there are no particular color variants; therefore, it is always displayed as ‘customized’. The standard softcover color is white. This is because the printable paper cover is white.
However, this cover can be completely customized in the print shop. All colors, shapes, photos, and logos can be put on the softcover.
The softcover is perfect for a custom-designed cover of a piece of work that has a medium to high page count. The softcover has a range of applications, from a short piece of academic work, to a master’s thesis. All you need to do is upload the cover that you’ve designed and it’ll be printed as it’s seen in the online print shop. Use the 3D configurator and the look inside function to ensure that you’re happy with the formatting.
We recommend softcover for the following types of work:
- Thesis
- Essay
- Paper
- Assignment
- Dissertation
- PhD
The price of the binding depends entirely on your individual configurations, such as the number of pages or the additional gadgets. You can get the softcover itself from CAN$32.90. You can calculate the exact price using the online price calculator in the print shop.
In addition to standard A4 format, soft binding offers flexible format sizes that can be cut on demand, up to A3 size. If using 100 g/m² grade paper, up to 150 pages can be integrated into the soft binding. Double-sided printing is therefore possible for up to 300 pages.
If using thicker grade 120 g/m² paper, the document bound in softcover binding can be up to 135 pages in length.
Tip: Read about the ideal paper for printing and binding, before you place your order.
