Gilt Edging

Gilt edging is a process that involves painting the edges of the notebook pages with a solid color or foil to add a striking visual effect when the notebook is closed. This gives the notebook a luxurious appearance, protects the edges from dirt and wear, and often reflects light beautifully. Foiled gilt edges are commonly seen in high-end journals and planners.

Pantone Match Colours

Tell us the pantone you would like to gilt your edges with, this could be a colour that matches your brand or a colour that best matches the cover of your notebook. If you want the gilt edging to match your notebook cover then let your account manager know and we’ll suggest the best colour options for you. 

 

If you’re providing us with a pantone colour, then please ensure the pantone code either finishes with the letter U or C.

Pantone C (Coated)

Meant for coated paper with a glossy finish, resulting in vibrant, saturated colours. Ideal for high-quality prints like brochures and packaging.

Pantone U (Uncoated)

Meant for uncoated paper with a matte finish, leading to softer, muted colours. Commonly used for notebook inside pages and cards.
