Finishing add-ons.

Cover finish

Matte or gloss lamination adds a thin protective film over the cover — more durable against handling, and a visual cue for premium editions.

Hole punching

0.236" (6mm) drill holes for binder-ready pages — common for training manuals and workbooks that need to sit in a ring binder.

Shrink wrapping

Individual copy protection for shipping, retail display, or direct-to-reader mailing.

Slipcase packaging

A protective outer case for premium or collector editions — usually paired with hardcover binding.

Direct mailing

Indicia placement and polybagging prepared as part of production, so periodicals-class mail doesn't need a separate mailing-house handoff.

All of these are priced live in the instant quote tool's Proof & Order Options step.
