Gloss, Matte, Uncoated, and Specialty Paper
You have many options for paper stock to print your book at QinPrinting. Most books use gloss or matte art paper — or uncoated offset paper for interactive titles like coloring books. But you’re not limited to these typical selections.
You can also choose from our specialty paper stocks such as linen finish, vellum, or other textures. Opting for a specialty stock can impact your pricing but it may be worth it to give certain projects an outstanding, unique look and feel.
Choosing paper and card stock can confuse, but our printing experts are always here to recommend the best paper selections for your book and your budget.
Special Finishes, Lamination, and Foil Stamping
They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but we all do! Your book’s cover is the first thing that a potential reader sees, so it must make a good impression. Someone browsing the bookstore — online or offline — is more likely to check out a book with a beautiful, intriguing, visually appealing cover. QinPrinting offers a complete range of finishing options to make your book uniquely eye-catching and attractive.
These options include:
We can also incorporate a custom die-cut into your book’s cover to increase its visual impact. With die-cutting, we machine-cut a shape out of the cover material with a sort of industrial cookie cutter. For example, to create a ‘window’ to an illustration underneath.
Our Most Popular Book Binding Options
Printing and binding go hand-in-hand. At QinPrinting, we’re proud to incorporate a complete range of binding options to complete your book. Your choice of binding will depend on your book’s genre, purpose, intended readership, format, and more. Given such a considerable array of choices, we’re happy to help you pick the best bookbinding option for you, your book, and your budget. Let’s have a quick look at the possibilities.
Perfect binding is the technical term for what is better known as paperback or softcover binding. Think of the last paperback novel you read; the sort of book you pick up at the newsstand, from the fiction section in the bookstore, or at the airport. A familiar style, perfect binding is a visually appealing and economical bookbinding solution. Although typically used for comic books and fiction, perfect binding is suitable for any genre.
Hardcover books are more durable than most other books, and this binding style is often perceived as more valuable by consumers. At QinPrinting, we follow stringent standards and fine-tuned protocols — using only high-end materials and innovative techniques — to print stunningly beautiful and impressive hardcover books. And we strive to offer an equally impressive price point with an unbeatable quality-to-cost ratio.
Hardcover bookbinding is a popular choice for special and first editions, many children’s books, coffee table books, high-end art and photography collections, memoirs, autobiographies, history, science books, and more. To make your hardcover book extra-special, you can add features like a printed slip-case, ribbon markers, and a dust jacket. Nothing speaks of quality and value so much as the elegance and substance of a finely crafted hardcover edition.
If your book has fewer than 48 pages, saddle stitching is a popular and economical bookbinding method that may suit your needs. Comic books, coloring books, instruction manuals, workbooks and more often take advantage of saddle stitch binding. Saddle stitching binds the pages and cover together, either with specially designed staples or — for a more attractive and robust result — stitched binding thread, which gives this technique its name.
Specialized "Lay Flat" Bookbinding Options
Not all books are meant only to be read. Cookbooks, textbooks, workbooks, diaries and more may need to be used frequently, propped up on a desk or work surface, and often laid completely flat. At QinPrinting, we have a range of robust, practical, book printing and binding options for just these kinds of applications.
Wire-O & spiral binding
These bindings use a technique known as “punch-and-bind”. With both, we punch or drill equally-spaced holes along one of the outer edges of the pages. We then thread a flexible wire or plastic coil through the holes. The coil holds the pages together while allowing them to turn independently even through 360° and, of course, lay completely flat. We can laminate the pages to make them tougher and water-resistant and add durable vinyl covers for a practical book that needs to work hard without spoiling its attractive appearance.
Spiral binding is a good option for commercial reports, student workbooks, college lab books, cookbooks and recipe collections, user manuals, guides, and many other applications.
Wire-O binding is even tougher than spiral binding as it incorporates a double wire coil making it ideal for workshop manuals, textbooks, instructional guides, and other uses in which the book will be handled often, even outdoors, stuffed into a bag, or deployed in tougher environments such as the factory floor or workshop rather than classrooms and offices.
Lay-flat perfect bookbinding
Our specialist techniques and facilities allow us to offer this unique lay-flat solution for when you need a book with the functionality of wire-o and spiral binding but the more elegant appearance of a paperback or perfect bound book.
We apply a sewn binding to the interior pages before gluing them to the cover. But the sewn pages are not glued individually to the spine, allowing the book to open flat. Our lay-flat perfect binding gives you the best of both worlds for a clean, professional presentation coupled with robust, practical functionality. And best of all, this up-scale binding method is the least expensive of all the options for an open-flat book.
How do We Ship the Books to Miami?
When it comes to shipping books to Miami, we provide two primary options: air shipment and sea shipment. Each method is tailored to meet different needs based on urgency and weight.
For air shipments, we utilize FedEx, which guarantees fast and reliable delivery. This option is ideal for time-sensitive shipments where quick arrival is a priority.
For sea shipments, the process varies based on the total weight of the shipment. If the total weight is less than 1500 kg, we first ship the books to Long Beach. From there, FedEx Ground or UPS Ground will handle the final leg of the journey to Miami.
However, if the total weight exceeds 1500 kg, we ship directly through Miami port or Tampa port to your door. This approach ensures that larger shipments are handled efficiently and reach you as quickly as possible.
In summary, whether you choose air or sea shipment, we have options to suit your needs.
