A page is one side of a leaf of paper. 1 leaf of paper contains 2 pages.
Printed Sides:
Single sided printing means your book will contain double the amount of leaves printed to the face only. Both the covers and inside pages will be single sided when this option is chosen.
Inside Page Printing:
When the 'Black & White' option is chosen it is only the inside pages of your book that will be printed black and white, the cover will always be colour. Any colour in your inside pages will be converted to greyscale or black and white by us before printing automatically.

Matt lamination:
A popular lamination which gives a very matt finish without dulling ink vibrancy.
Gloss lamination:
Creates a high-shine, glossy finish and makes printed colours stand out.
Soft Touch lamination:
Exudes a feeling of quality. Soft touch lamination gives a wonderfully tactile experience due to its smooth, velvety texture.
Linen lamination:
Use this lamination’s unique embossed pattern to create a distinctly heritage look. The tight grain and matt finish are scuff-resistant.
Leather lamination:
Finish with the appearance of fine-grained leather. This unusual lamination creates the illusion of a smooth cowhide surface pattern.
Anti Scuff lamination:
Offers extra protection against scuffs and finger marks while giving print a quality silk finish. This lamination is advised if you are printing with dark, solid colours like blue or black.
Clear Acetate Covers:
Clear Acetate covers are a very common finishing touch to any Wiro Bound Document. They quickly add a professional, sleek, glossy finish to your document as well as extra protection. Our acetate covers are 220 microns to both front and back giving 440 microns in total.
Frosted Acetate Covers:
Frosted Acetate covers are a thicker, rigid, semi translucent plastic that can be used as an alternative to our clear option. Our frosted acetate is 450 microns to both front and back giving 900 microns in total.
