The flexible order workflow for the publishing industry
Elanders BookStream offers provision of print data with versioning and comment function as well as true-color digital approval processes. The desired book titles are uploaded to a database in advance and can be approved manually by the publisher after the print data has been created. Subsequently, production takes place on demand from bookstores, trade fairs, book carts, bar assortment centers, etc. We can offer shipping either to the publisher or directly to customers. The print data is independent of actual orders and is uploaded in advance without the need for an additional order. The initial order is then placed when the final order is placed.

Book production in any edition
Hardcover
Hardcover books are particularly durable and protected due to their robust covers.
This is the reason why the product not only fits nicely in your 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 adhesive binding, thread stitching or layflat binding. Furthermore, formats ranging from DIN A5 to 30 x 30 cm areavailable.

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.
