Why short runs are the way to success today.
Instead of printing products in large quantities for stock, it makes much more sense to make short runs possible. Thanks to our POD process and its connection, the ordering process takes place exclusively digitally – consequently, your print orders are transmitted automatically. Through mass customization, similar orders are produced together and allow you to produce your books from piece 1. The uncomplicated process ensures your success and is the key to reaching and inspiring your customers through individuality.
PRODUCT WORLDS BOOK
Personalized book production from edition one
HARDCOVER
Hardcover books are particularly durable and protected due to their sturdy covers.
Due to the firm cover, the product not only lies well in the hand, but is especially suitable for frequently used content. In combination with the high quality guaranteed by us, for example through various cellophane coatings, your customers can have individual books printed with a noble appearance. You can decide whether you want to offer perfect binding, thread stitching or layflat binding. The formats can be chosen from DIN A5 up to 30 x 30 cm.
SOFTCOVER
The adhesive-bound brochure for everyday life and on the road.
In contrast to hardcover, softcover books are characterized by their flexible binding. They are described as a perfect bound booklet. In view of the lightweight material, this book type is suitable for products that are needed in everyday life and on the move. The quality is not limited at all and is guaranteed by printing in different formats and materials. Format sizes from DIN A6 and square formats in 30 x 30 cm are possible.
BOOK WITH THREAD STITCHING
Thread stitching is suitable for binding hardcover books.
Thread stitching is convenient for binding hardcover books. In production, it is created by sewing folded sheets through a thread. This requires a long working process, but the results are high-quality and very durable products, such as notebooks, which are subjected to high strain. Thanks to this further processing, the books can be opened up to the binding.
ADHESIVE BINDING
Perfect binding is suitable for both hard covers and soft covers.
Adhesive binding requires special adhesives to produce the most durable product possible. With the help of our state-of-the-art machinery, we can produce a very large quantity of perfect bound books within a very short time. Both soft covers and hard covers are possible for the cover or overlay of the respective books with adhesive binding.
LAYFLAT BINDING
Photo books that open perfectly flat.
Layflat technology, which is becoming popular, is ideal for the production of albums, photo books and promotional materials in short runs. Its success on the market is explained by the manufacturing of products that can be opened perfectly flat and thus live up to their name. The book pages are printed continuously from left to right and offer customers an extremely attractive image to view.
PHOTO BOOK
Multiple printing options for capturing unique memories.
Photo books not only capture personal experiences, but are also very versatile in their production. Starting with the outer appearance, there are no limits to your choice of formats. From hardcover or softcover to our outstanding print quality, you can give free rein to your wishes and receive high-quality products that touch emotionally and remain in memory.
CHILDREN'S BOOK
High-quality printing guarantees the perfect representation of colours and drawings.
Children's books are characterized by many, colorful illustrations. We, at Elanders print emotion, place a very high value on the printing quality and the perfect appearance as well as the processing of the books. Therefore, we have optimized our machinery and are specialists in the production of children's books in many different directions with a wide variety of bindings.
PERSONALIZED BOOK
Mass customisation also makes it possible to cater to the individual interests of customers in book printing.
Names, personal characteristics or places - personalized books offer your customers the possibility to be part of their own product or be part of the book making process of their own product! Producing customized books requires special technologies and experience. The performance of what we call mass customization focuses on the exact needs and demands of your customers. Take the chance and dive into the new world of individuality!
INDIVIDUALIZED BOOK
Free design options for even more customer satisfaction.
Customized books give free rein to your customers' creativity and allow them to design the end product according to their ideas. For example, the book cover can be individually designed and certain shapes or logos can be used for the content.
NOTEBOOK
Due to the diversity of production, a normal everyday object becomes a very personal book.
Notebooks are frequently used in everyday life and are accordingly timeless for the user. Whether personalized or refined, the ideas can be fulfilled through a variety of production options. The use of natural paper and a high-quality adhesive binding represent important components here.
