In this video, we showcase the different types of hardcover covering materials we offer, helping you choose the right option based on your book’s style, purpose, and budget.
For standard hardcover books, we recommend a sturdy 2–3mm greyboard wrapped with 157gsm art paper and finished with glossy, matte, or soft-touch lamination. This classic hardcover construction is ideal for printing full-color custom artwork directly on the cover surface, allowing your designs, illustrations, and branding elements to stand out with vibrant colors and professional details. It provides excellent durability, a premium appearance, and a cost-effective solution for a wide range of hardcover book projects, including novels, children’s books, cookbooks, photo books, yearbooks, and more.
For unique and luxury editions, we offer a variety of premium cover materials, including cloth, PU leather, leather-like paper, textured paper, kraft paper, and other specialty materials. These options add a distinctive texture, elegant appearance, and enhanced tactile experience to your books, making them ideal for gift books, limited editions, coffee table books, and premium publications.
Whether you’re creating a classic hardcover book, luxury gift edition, or special collector’s item, we can help you select the perfect covering material to complement your design and elevate your book’s overall presentation.
