Picture books represent a very prestigious and specific niche in the publishing industry. This type of product brings together books dedicated to themes such as art, architecture, design, fashion, photography, nature, animals, as well as museum catalogues and coffee table books.
These books are characterised by a strong aesthetic component as well as high quality production, aimed at ensuring a unique impact, both visually and tactile. They are usually printed in large formats to allow a better enjoyment of the images and a wider appreciation of the content, with a level of detail that respects the original and guarantees artistic precision.
Picture books have an excellent print quality, including accurate colours and a graphic rendering that faithfully reproduces the original images (paintings, photographs, drawings, etc.). Details are well defined and colours intense, especially for art, fashion and photography books.
Industrial production uses techniques such as four-colour offset printing with the possible addition of Pantone colours, the use of selective varnishes or the printing of embossed details.
The binding is solid and of high quality, as the books must withstand repeated use. Thread sewing guarantees greater durability and sturdiness compared to glue-bound milled paperback binding.
L.E.G.O.’s production structure is suitable for the production of books with spread photo and shots that enhance the creativity of the title. The printing process can also include H-UV technology to boost details and color intensity.
