Foil stamping and spot gloss UV can be used to enhance both hardcover and paperback books, adding a touch of luxury and distinction to the design. On a hardcover, these embellishments can be applied directly to the cover beneath the dust jacket, creating a hidden layer of design that is revealed when the jacket is removed or can be on the naked hardcover making the book stand out in any library. Spot gloss UV can also be used to add contrast and texture to specific elements, making titles or logos stand out.

For paperbacks, these techniques can elevate the cover design, providing a tactile, eye-catching finish that draws attention on shelves and enhances the reader’s experience. Both options allow for a beautiful, detailed presentation that highlights the book’s quality and craftsmanship.
Additionally, creating special edition paperback ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies) with these high-end finishes can make pre-release copies feel unique and collectible, adding an extra layer of exclusivity and excitement for early readers.
