We recently had the privilege of executing a premium hardbound book printing project for the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, a globally respected organisation dedicated to promoting liberal values, political education, and freedom across Germany and more than 60 countries worldwide.
It included full printing and manufacturing of the high-quality biography “Journey of Dr. Carsten Klein in South Asia” by Dr. Carsten Klein. The aim was straightforward: to produce not just a long-lasting, stylish and aesthetically pleasing tome but one imbuing the significance of its content and the institution behind it.
About the Client: Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom

The Foundation is engaged in encouraging civic engagement via political education, events, publications, and scholarship programmes. The foundation, based in Potsdam with head offices around the world, is a leader in promoting freedom and responsibility in contemporary society.
Project Brief & Assignment
This was the task to print a high-end, hardbound brochure that introduced the biography of Dr Carsten Klein in South Asia. It also required the publication to be visually appealing, resistant over time, and finely finished to suit its intended institutional distribution and archival function.

Premium Printing & Paper Selection
We chose the finest quality of imported paper stocks for the print quality and durability:
Inside Pages:
Imported Sunshine Paper with Fine Mat, 130 GSM
Cover:
Imported art paper of 170 GSM for more strength and an appealing look
We used a high-resolution digital printing process with accurate colour calibration for printing, which provides sharp, crisp text, uniform tones and highly saturated images. The colour of every page was measured, and consistent prints were conducted before the final run.
Fabrication & Binding Excellence
The book was intended to be both durable and premium-looking:
- 170 GSM art paper used for cover printing
- Laminated matt thermal with applied layers to give it smoothness and elegance.
- Being made into a hardcover with a 2mm Kappa Board
- Inner pages printed on Sunshine Paper of 130 GSM
- Every page is coated with matt aqueous for extra durability.
Then the book was thread-stitched, perfect-bound, and finely trimmed to provide an impeccable finished product.
The binding style provided additional durability while also making the finished book look and feel more appealing. High-quality finishing gives a professional, institutional-quality feel.

The books were well-packaged and ready for dispatch as per the timeline. All possible measures were taken to protect them in transit. The print quality, finishing, binding and entire execution of the project journey of Dr Carsten Klein.
