Specifications
Z Fold Cards
For better adhesion to covers and to reduce the risk of cracking on folds, we recommend using uncoated stock. The weight of text insert materials ranges from 60gsm to 90gsm on uncoated and offset materials and 80gsm to 115gsm on silk and coated materials. Cover stocks should be 300gsm to 400gsm uncoated or silk. Covers can be matt, gloss laminated, or UV varnished on the outside, but some laminations may be marked during binding. A border around the cover and text panels should be no wider than 10 mm to 15 mm from the edge.
To guarantee cover adherence to folded insert text, the hot melt glue procedure necessitates blank, ink-free regions and no sealant or coatings. It is advised to avoid ghosting and sticking problems by using Litho printed covers and text, as hot melt dots may feel elevated.
