Garlich Printing Finishing Services
The Finishing Touch That Brings Print to Life
At Garlich Printing, we believe the final step is what makes print unforgettable.
Finishing turns an idea on paper into something real, something you can hold, and something that instantly communicates quality.
When someone picks up your brochure, packaging, or book, it’s the finish they feel first. Maybe it’s a soft-touch coating that feels like velvet, a metallic foil that catches the light, or an embossed logo that invites a second look. Those little touches tell your story before a single word is read.
We take pride in those details. Every coating, every fold, every trim is done right here in our own facility. Because everything happens under one roof, we can keep tight control over quality, color, texture, and timing. You get results that are beautiful, consistent, and built to last.
Whether your project is a luxury retail package, a high-end brochure, or an entire product launch kit, our finishing experts make sure it leaves a lasting impression.

Finishing as a Mark of Quality
Finishing is not an afterthought at Garlich. It’s part of how we define craftsmanship. The way a printed piece feels, catches light, and holds up over time is every bit as important as what’s printed on it.
Our finishing team works closely with designers and production staff to make sure every element aligns perfectly with the design vision. Coatings, folds, and scores are chosen carefully to enhance the look and feel of the material, not fight against it.
Because we handle every part of production in-house, we don’t lose control of the process. From prepress and color management to binding and fulfillment, we know exactly where your project is and how it’s progressing. This keeps quality consistent and turnaround times reliable.
Our finishing touches appear on all kinds of work, from luxury packaging and marketing kits to national retail displays and coffee-table publications. It’s a detail-driven approach that clients notice and trust.

High-End Finishing Capabilities
Every project needs its own finishing strategy. Some need to feel sleek and sophisticated, while others should grab attention from across a retail shelf. At Garlich, we’ve built a wide range of finishing services that can be customized to match exactly what your project needs.
Cutting and Trimming Precision
Clean cuts are the foundation of great print. Our automated cutting systems make sure every edge is smooth, straight, and perfectly aligned. Even on large-format or short-run jobs, accuracy never slips. The result is a piece that looks as sharp and professional as it did on screen.
Folding and Scoring Perfection
A good fold should feel effortless. We engineer every fold and score so paper bends smoothly and cleanly, with no cracking or color breaks. Whether it’s a tri-fold brochure, a complex gatefold, or an intricate folded insert, your piece will open and close exactly as it should.
Custom Die Cutting and Embossing
Die cutting and embossing bring texture and personality to your project. Maybe you need custom-shaped packaging, a logo that pops from the surface, or a pattern that adds a tactile element. Our finishing team works closely with designers to make sure every detail enhances your brand’s message.
You can see how we apply these creative touches in our Packaging Services.
Foil Stamping and Specialty Coatings
Foil stamping instantly communicates quality. Metallic and holographic foils add shine and dimension that people notice. We also offer soft-touch, UV, and aqueous coatings that protect your print while enhancing its feel and appearance. These finishes make your materials look more sophisticated and help them stand up to wear over time.
We like to say your print should feel as good as it looks, and that belief guides everything we do.
Collating, Numbering, and Custom Assembly
For complex, multi-piece projects, our finishing team manages collating, numbering, and assembly right here in our facility. Each piece is handled with care, ensuring accuracy, organization, and consistency. No matter how intricate the job, everything stays aligned and ready for delivery.
Luxury Binding and Book Finishing Services
Binding is the stage where everything comes together. It’s what turns printed pages into something finished, polished, and complete.
Our bindery department combines time-tested craftsmanship with modern automation to produce catalogs, manuals, presentations, and books that feel as good as they look.
Saddle Stitching
Ideal for brochures and catalogs, saddle stitching provides clean, durable binding that lies flat and lasts through repeated use.
Perfect Binding
This sleek, professional option gives thicker publications a smooth edge and a polished spine. Perfect for presentations, annual reports, and magazines.
Spiral and Coil Binding
Flexible and functional, spiral and coil binding allow documents to open flat without compromising appearance. Great for training manuals and corporate materials.
Case Binding and Custom Covers
For projects that need to make a statement, case binding delivers unmatched durability and elegance. We can create hardcover books, portfolios, and product guides with custom covers, materials, and finishes.
Our book binding services are also trusted by agencies that need premium-quality production for client presentations and brand materials.
