A book’s cover represents both its protective shield and its most persuasive sales tool. Whether destined for retail bookstore display or executive corporate boardrooms, book covers demand rich color depth, tactile lamination, and exact spine alignment. Ad King manufactures premium book covers in Okhla Industrial Area Phase 2, New Delhi.
Cover production requires tight integration between pre-press paper calculations and mechanical post-press finishing. An error of just 0.5mm in spine width calculation will offset the front cover artwork. Our technical team calculates spine bulk directly from sample page dummies.
