Printed End Papers
Give your notebook impact from the very beginning with printed paper or card placed on the inside casing.
The endpapers, end-papers or end sheets of a book are the pages that sandwich the inner book block, consisting of a double-size sheet folded, with one-half pasted against an inside cover (the pastedown), and the other half serving as the first free page (the flyleaf). Thus, the front endpapers precede the title page and the text, whereas the back endpapers follow the text. Booksellers sometimes refer to the front end paper as FEP.
As the endpapers are usually the first things a customer will see when they open a book, it is good to include some customisations pertinent to you book’s purpose. Often company information or a simple nameplate is included, but you can be much more experimental if you wish. Paper endpapers can be printed in full color CMYK or with your Pantone. Alternatively, we can use a coloured paper or card stock, which can then be printed on or even foiled. It is also possible to include fabric or cloth endpapers, as well as other marbled effects.
If you’re looking to produce endpapers but do not have a designer, we have in-house designers who can help you with layout design and print processing, all the way to creative content and illustration. We can print to your exact specifications direct from a print-ready PDF, or we can compile your files from an InDesign file. Our design team will be happy to walk your through the process or simply provide the exact design you require.
