Book cover embossing system and method

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for manufacturing embossed laminated hardcover book cases and embossed laminated hardcover books. The method of manufacturing an embossed laminated hardcover book case may comprise: receiving a book printing request from a user; printing a desired cover design on a cover sheet based at least in part on the received book printing request; applying a laminate sheet to the cover sheet using a laminating apparatus; embossing the laminate sheet using a textured roller of the laminating apparatus to define an embossed laminated cover sheet; providing a spine board and front and rear cover boards based at least in part on the received book printing request; and combining the spine board, the front and rear cover boards, and the embossed laminated cover sheet to define the embossed hardcover book case. Adding a book block converts the case into an embossed laminated hardcover book.

PRINTING SYSTEM
20230150291 · 2023-05-18 ·

A printing system includes a book body printing section including a book body printing machine and outputting book bodies sequentially, and a cover printing section including a cover printing machine and outputting covers sequentially. The book body printing machine and the cover printing machine respectively receive printing order data indicating a printing order with regard to a plurality of jobs from a print control apparatus, and perform printing in the printing order indicated by the printing order data. The print control apparatus generates the printing order data, so that an inserting order in unit of job to a bookbinding machine of the book bodies output from the book body printing section coincides with an inserting order in unit of job to the bookbinding machine of the covers output from the cover printing section.

Folded brochure with internal pouch, and method of manufacturing brochures
11618274 · 2023-04-04 · ·

A brochure is made by folding a single sheet of paper along a plurality of parallel longitudinal fold lines to make an interim piece. The interim piece is conveyed in the direction of the longitudinal fold lines, and folded in a right-angle direction transverse to the first direction, along transverse fold lines perpendicular to the longitudinal fold lines. A pouch is placed inside of the interim piece without adhesive, as the interim piece is folded, and the interim piece is sealed to complete the brochure. The pouch is preferably placed over one of the transverse fold lines. A label can be applied to the brochure if desired.

METHOD FOR THE PRINTING LAYOUT OF BOOKS, MAGAZINES AND THE LIKE ON PRINTED SHEETS FOR THE GRAPHIC ARTS INDUSTRY
20230339250 · 2023-10-26 ·

The present invention is related to the field of diverse industrial techniques, where through the bookbinding of albums, classifiers, and printed, it allows implementing processes for making books combining various operations starting from simple sheets. In particular, the invention discloses a new method for book imposition, magazines, and similar, in print, for the graphic arts industry that seeks to organize the book pages to be collected in sheets. The method is characterized because it implies the structuration of a numerical matrix for the imposition of the pages on a sheet, considering the book page and printing machine size printing by groups of sheets and adding guiding flaps that allow better sheets identification.
