62 06 Special Finishing Options for the Cover Your cover is the first impression of your dissertation. With special finishing techniques, you can elevate its appearance and highlight key elements. Below are the options available: Spot-UV A glossy coating applied to specific areas of the cover to make them stand out. You can also choose raised spot-UV, which adds a tactile effect for an extra dimension. Foil Printing Add a luxurious touch by applying shiny foil—available in gold, silver, bronze, and more—to text or illustrations on your cover. White Printing Create a distinctive look with white ink, particularly effective on colored cardboard. Embossing Embossing allows you to add raised or recessed textures to text or illustrations, creating a refined and elegant finish. Die-Cutting Die-cutting enables you to cut custom shapes into the cover, resulting in a striking and creative design. Proofing with Special Finishes Unfortunately, we cannot provide physical proofs for special finishes, as these processes are carried out externally and require a minimum production run due to high setup costs. However, we can provide samples from previous projects to give you a clear idea of the final result. Tip We recommend having your design technically reviewed by Ridderprint in advance. This ensures that your chosen finishing option is feasible and avoids any technical issues during production. Detailed guidelines for submitting files for these finishing options can be found in your online portal or on our website.
