Product description
Softcover magazine printing
A softcover magazine combines a flexible printed cover with a multi-page inner block. It provides a professional editorial format while remaining lighter and more economical than a hardback publication. The cover can use heavier stock and optional lamination for protection and a refined finish.
This product is suitable for corporate magazines, product catalogues, branded editorial projects, annual reviews, portfolios, educational publications and event editions. Paper and binding are selected according to the page count, intended lifetime and desired visual character.
Supplying the files
Prepare the inside as single PDF pages in reading order. Supply the cover separately, including the spine when required by the selected binding. Images should have sufficient resolution, fonts must be embedded and all edge-to-edge graphics need bleed. We will check the complete publication before production.
