Graining

At Universal Bookbindery, we offer an impressive selection of 27 different graining designs to elevate the uniqueness of your decorated covers. This technique is especially effective for creating a bold, textured appearance while incorporating detailed foil stamping, allowing you to achieve a distinctive and multi-dimensional effect. Our graining process can be applied to both wrapped and unwrapped covers, where we strategically “knockout” the design elements to allow for clean, crisp stamping that contrasts beautifully against the rich texture of the grained surface. Originally developed for the yearbook industry, our graining plates are typically suited for areas up to 14 x 20 inches, making them ideal for a range of applications.
