Edge gilding gives the trimmed page block a metallic appearance, creating a distinctive detail when a book or diary is closed. It is a finishing choice for presentation editions, journals and diaries where the edges form part of the design.
Specify the book size, paper, page extent and which edges should be finished. Include the intended metallic appearance and any reference edition. Cover, binding and edge treatment should be reviewed together, with the sample used to confirm the appearance on the proposed book block.
Gilding creates a metallic effect on the page edges. Edge printing uses colours or artwork on the edges. Choose the effect that fits the edition, then confirm the material and construction.
Diaries and journals are among the applications. Provide the complete diary specification and intended edge finish so feasibility, appearance and costing can be reviewed together.
