The 352-page text block is printed 4/4 throughout on 200gsm matt art, with machine varnish applied. The separate endpapers use 160gsm uncoated woodfree, also printed 4/4.

Section sewn binding throughout, with a square back spine and 3.0mm boards with no padding. Head and tail bands and a ribbon marker were added to all copies.

The clamshell is a three-walled construction on both lid and base. The outer wrap is printed imitation cloth with a sealer varnish; the liner paper is 140gsm kraft, printed in PMS or self colour. Foil blocking on the front and spine of the box ties it visually to the book inside.

For the Deluxe Edition clamshell, an additional board layer was added to the lid. The circular die-cut to house the 7″ vinyl is cut into the lid itself,  the vinyl sits flush, held in place by the die, the lid closing cleanly over it.

The five art prints in the Deluxe Edition are printed 4/0 on 350gsm matt photo archive paper. Each print has a blind deboss applied to the front from a file supplied by the publisher, and each is individually numbered 1 to 350 in pencil, matching the style and position specified. They are housed in a 140gsm self-colour kraft paper envelope with a slit closure and foil blocking on the front.

The numbering consistency across every component: book, prints, envelope, mailing carton label, was a key logistical challenge. Every element leaving the factory had to carry the same number as every other element in that box.

Every edition ships in a brushed cotton book bag sized to fit the clamshell, silkscreen printed in one colour with a contrast drawstring.

The mailing cartons are four-walled with impact-protective corrugated reinforcements on all sides. The closure overlaps on the front and is sealed with tape. A separate carton size was produced for the Deluxe Edition to accommodate the additional prints. Each carton carries a 4-colour label, approximately 65 × 50mm, numbered to match the edition and individual copy number of the books inside.
