Location (book)
In the case of a book, a layer refers to several folded sheets of paper placed one inside the other; in the case of printed works, these are the individual, folded printed sheets . These are several nested, usually four-sided , consecutively numbered double sheets. The layers are processed in the manual bookbinding , while in the industrial bookbinding the term folded sheet is used for the same object . Several stapled layers together make up the book block .
The beginning of a layer can be seen as a small print signature in the form of a number or a letter, sometimes a combination of both, on the first page at the bottom right or left. This signature mark is continuous in a book and already serves as an overview of the printer and the correct collating the documents before the binding process of the book.
In the paper industry, the term position is also used to describe a certain number of sheets of paper (usually as many as can be moved by hand ).
A layer of six double sheets with a total of 12 sheets (24 pages) is called a Senio (abbreviated s. ).
