Covers

HARD COVER

Hard covers are made of two components: Cover board and cover wrap material.

Board is available in 80,100, 120 and 150 pt. weights.

Cover wrap is available in woven and non-woven materials which can be printed 4-colour process, foil stamped, spot UV coated, embossed and then wrapped to the board.

Hard covers are available in:

SQUARE BACK CASE

The square back case has board equal in weight to the cover down the spine of the case.

ROUND BACK CASE

The round back case is bound with thin board in the spine allowing the spine to be slightly rounded.

THREE PIECE CASE (QUARTER BINDING)

A three piece case encases your book using two different cover materials.

SOFT COVER

SOFT COVER

Soft cover material is generally white to maximize colour options when printing; however, many stocks are available. Cover stock material is available in 8/10/12/15 pt. weights. In most cases, a soft cover will be finished with a coating or a laminate for added durability.

SOFT COVER WITH FLAPS

Soft covers with flaps are becoming more common, providing additional real estate to help market your book. In many cases, the cover can be folded in one pass to increase the copy area without substantially increasing cost.
