The Function and Design of Printing Albums, Books, and Periodicals with a Floating Mouth

A notch, also known as a folding notch, is an inward folding part of a protective cover, book cover, or back cover that extends from a cut, and there are also outward folding notches. The front zipper connected to the cover is called the front zipper, and the back zipper connected to the back cover is called the back zipper. The word 'le' implies restraint, and through the form of 'le mouth', it can prevent the incision from scratching the fingers and prevent the cover and back from curling, thus protecting the book block. It can also be used to arrange the author or translator's introduction, photos, catalog of the series, and other information, while also enhancing the beauty of the book and playing a decorative role. In terms of design, it is also necessary to pay attention to the coordination with the cover, and supplement and continue the design under the premise of echoing the relationship.

The floating mouth is the part that is about 3mm larger than the book core at the upper, lower, and outer incisions of the front and rear seals. Generally, hardcover books are preferred, and this design is also common in paperback books to protect the book core and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the book's appearance. The design style will not be individually processed, only the front and rear covers can be extended.
