Our paperqualities.
Thanks to our years of experience as thesis specialists, we have selected four standard paper types that provide the best results for printing your dissertation. For a perfect match with your requirements, you can also request advice on which paper type best suits your dissertation. In our manual, you can see and feel the paper types and discover how each type affects different kinds of printing.
90 grams houtvrij offset paper is unique for its uncoated, matte, and white appearance. It has a natural, professional look and ensures colors appear bright and vivid. Its texture is popular for those seeking an authentic appearance. Colors are well represented with a matte finish.
90 grams Biotop paper is an uncoated, cream-colored paper without optical brighteners. This paper type is 100% chlorine-free bleached and FSC certified. It has a natural look, is environmentally friendly, and is ideal for a calm appearance for your thesis. Colors may appear differently due to the off-white paper.
100 grs halfmat MC
(meest gekozen)
100 grams half mat machine coated paper is a double-sided coated paper with a subtle semi-gloss and smooth surface. Suitable for colorful theses due to sharp color reproduction, but less suitable for writing. The use of color in your dissertation truly comes to life.
115 grams half mat macine coated paper has the same specifications as 100 gsm semi-matte coated, but due to the higher weight, this quality is less transparent. It combines a matte look with a slight reflection for a refined appearance and is extremely suitable for heavier printing.
Laminating your cover.
Lamination protects your dissertation from wear, stains, and moisture. It provides a durable, professional appearance and accentuates colors and details, ensuring your work is presented in perfection. Various options are available
Matte lamination
Matte laminate gives your dissertation an elegant, subtle look with a soft touch. It reduces reflections and fingerprints, provides long-lasting protection for the cover, and ensures a timeless, professional, and refined presentation.
Gloss lamination
Gloss laminate provides a radiant, high-quality finish that deepens colors and enhances details. It protects the cover from wear and stains, making your thesis look professional, durable, and perfectly finished.
Extra options
Additional finishing on the cover adds texture and depth: use subtle areas, lines, or typographic elements to create a balanced composition. UV coating, die-cutting, or embossing are beautiful examples of this.
Binding and finishing your dissertation.
We carry out the binding process of your dissertation with the utmost precision: each copy is manually checked for perfection and durable binding, ensuring your work is timeless and flawless. Perfect binding is the most commonly used method: the spine is milled and glued to the cover, providing a sturdy, professional, and durable result that remains beautiful for years. In addition to layout and printing, we also bind in-house, allowing us to work flexibly and guarantee fast delivery times.

The final print quality exceeded my expectations, with great attention to detail and a very professional finish. I highly recommend them for thesis or academic printing.
The project came with a very tight deadline and followed difficulties with a previous provider. Haveka stepped in at a critical moment and handled the entire process — layout adjustments, pre-press, printing, binding, and delivery — professionally, transparently, and with great attention to detail.
The final result exceeded my expectations: high-quality materials, excellent finishing, and a beautifully produced dissertation that feels almost like a deluxe edition. Communication was clear and pragmatic throughout, and Tonny remained calm, solution-oriented, and reliable under time pressure.
Despite holiday logistics and a compressed production window, everything was delivered on time and as agreed. I would highly recommend Haveka for academic publishing and high-quality print work, especially when precision and deadlines truly matter.
In een enorm kort tijdsbestek hebben ze met mij meegedacht, geadviseerd en elke stap met zorg uitgevoerd. Hun vakmanschap, geduld en betrokkenheid hebben ervoor gezorgd dat 'Schrijfsels van Rauwe Rouw' precies de uitstraling kreeg die ik hoopte — en nog zoveel meer.
De reacties van lezers zijn hartverwarmend. Iedereen benoemt de schoonheid en kracht van de opmaak, hoe alles klopt en hoe het boek als geheel binnenkomt. Dat is mede dankzij de liefde en professionaliteit die Haveka erin heeft gestopt.
Ik ben enorm dankbaar, trots en blij dat ik met hen heb mogen samenwerken. Ze hebben mijn woorden niet alleen vormgegeven, maar echt tot leven gebracht.
Tonny en team, nogmaals super bedankt!! Liefs Claudia - RauweRouwkost
