Exercise Book Lamination

If you are looking for that bit extra on your school exercise book covers and have a quality laminated finish, you have come to the right place.

shiny gloss laminated printing exercise books

Having decided on the requirements for your exercise books - many schools like to protect their exercise books further.  We offer a number of solutions, one being laminating the card covers. Lamination is applied after the covers are printed and is applied to the outer cover - to one side only.  The lamination will be on the outside - but not the inside cover.  We offer both gloss and matt lamination options - however most schools choose the gloss lamination. Not only does this give a shiny finish to the books - it also gives extra strength and can protect the corners of the books from wear and tear.  They can also be wiped clean.
Both gloss and matt laminated exercise books can still be written on using a biro style pen, permanent marker pen or Sharpie - some schools however like to apply a sticker to the cover.  We can design the covers to accommodate various sticker sizes and can include a feint outline showing where the sticker can be applied.
We can also supply plastic sleeve covers to protect your exercise books.

Exercise Book
Pages & Binding

Exercise books bindings, which include extra strong staples for most of our standard books, spiral binding for Art books and perfect binding for books with a higher number of pages.

Exercise books bindings extra strong staples for standard books, spiral binding for Art books

The binding of the exercise books is very important especially in books with a high number of pages. Most of our exercise books are bound using 4 strong staples - instead of 2 as in many other books. This can extend the life of your books, ensuring the cover is firmly bound. Our ruled pages are printed on a good quality paper and we usually suggest a maximum of 80 pages - however we somtimes go to 96 pages.  
When we produce Art books or Learning Journeys we often include a much thicker paper or cartridge style paper.  For this kind of book we recommend a spiral binding which allows for a thicker book and also makes page turning much easier.
We also offer an extra style of book which has a perfect bound / square spine. The pages are gathered and then glued into the binding.  This allows for may more pages than the staple binding.

Reading Records & Homework Diaries

A well designed printed reading record or homework diary can give an excellent impression to parents of your school. We can produce bespoke books that can aid communication between teachers and parents whilst promoting the schools ethos.

Reading records are very important for pupils and can encourage parents to show an increased interest in their childs reading and education.  With this in mind the reading records which the parents see most days are a great way to show your school logo and brand.  
We can supply reading records and homework diaries with various coloured card covers and can match to an existing order of exercise books. We have a selection of interior rulings for parents to record their childs progress, however on request we can produce bespoke internal pages to suit a specific requirement of a school.
We can also supply different coloured colours for different year groups often with different coloured card covers to show the key stage.

We are often asked to supply some extra books when producing a whole school order for children with learning difficulties or dyslexia.  All of our standard rulings can be printed along with bespoke rulings onto many different coloured papers - including many pastel colours, blue, green, orange, yellow, pink and cream.  We can then add the same covers to the books as the main school order - so that the books look the same.
 
As these are priced in a slightly different way we can offer smaller minimum quantities - starting at just 10 of each book design.
In the United Kingdom, the printing of school exercise books holds paramount importance in shaping the learning experience for students. These exercise books serve as more than just repositories of academic work; they are essential tools that facilitate the educational process. Printed with precision and care, these school exercise books often feature a tailored design, incorporating the school logo, name, and possibly subject-specific details, adding a touch of institutional identity to each page.

The meticulous printing of exercise books in the UK is not only about aesthetics but also about functionality. Clear printing enhances readability, aiding students in organizing and reviewing their notes effectively. Schools often opt for durable and sustainably sourced materials, aligning with the global emphasis on environmental consciousness.

Furthermore, exercise book printing offers a platform for schools to communicate essential information, including academic calendars, codes of conduct, or inspirational messages. The uniformity in printing fosters a sense of consistency across the student body, contributing to a cohesive and focused learning environment. In essence, the art and science of exercise book printing in the UK extend far beyond the pages, playing a crucial role in shaping the educational journey for students across various subjects and grade levels.
