Pressision Process Codes
Each Pressision process has its own unique reference code, creating a simple common language between inspiration, design and production.
Use the codes alongside our physical process swatches to explore techniques, understand what’s possible and reference the processes you want to use within your project.
Our physical process swatches are currently in production and will be available to order soon via the website.
Lay Flat Binding
A book that opens beautifully, without forcing the spine
Lay-flat binding is engineered so pages open wide and stay flat, giving you uninterrupted visuals. Ideal for photography, design work and high-impact imagery.
Why Lay Flat Binding matters
- Perfect for imagery – Seamless spreads with minimal gutter loss.
- User-friendly – Pages sit open naturally.
- Premium presentation – Ideal for lookbooks, portfolios and brand work.
- Durable – Strong spine construction with excellent longevity.
Creative Lay Flat Binding
- Hinged Lay-Flat - A rigid PUR block glued to a flexible spine strip for clean, flat opening.
What this unlocks for your project
- Photography and art books with uninterrupted double-page spreads.
- Design-led brochures where layout continuity is key.
- Technical manuals where clarity matters.
Tech specs at a glance
- Works best with coated or smooth uncoated stocks.
- Spine construction chosen depending on page count and paper weight.
- Ideal for blocks from 16–100 pages (depending on method).
Design tips
- Avoid critical text across the gutter unless using full lay-flat.
- Heavier stocks give ultra-flat opening but increase thickness.
