Premier Leathers

These whole hides are hand cut to order and create high-end luxurious covers. Premier leather is soft to the touch and includes natural texture characteristics that are not defects but natural authenticity.

Distressed Leathers

A natural full hide leather that is hand sanded, making each cover unique in its rustic and distressed look but soft to the touch. This leather shows natural characteristics such as healed scars, insect bites, and brands.

Linens

100% natural linen is one of nature's sustainable eco materials and is soft to the touch with a natural weave and texture. Our linens create a non-leather, high-end, luxurious cover.

Silks

This silk textile is imported from Japan with a beautiful sheen and texture showcasing a natural weaving.

Vintage Leathers

Our Vintage Leather is a leather alternative material that is soft, smooth, and luxurious—an excellent sustainable option to pair with any of our debossing fonts.

Leatherette

Our most popular option. Leatherettes are high-end synthetic leather embossed with a leather-like texture and are soft and matte in the finish with excellent material consistency.

Faux Leathers

Another non-leather material, this option is smoother in finish compared to our Leatherette and has an excellent surface for blind and foil debossing.

Alligator Leather

This option is a bonded leather embossed with an exotic alligator texture.

Bookcloth

Classic and timeless, Bookcloth has a tighter fabric weave than our linen cover materials and has been a longstanding textile choice for fabric book coverings.

Chrome

Our Chrome material is made from a cotton weave and then coated to create a luminescent modern finish.

Metal Print Combo Covers

This smooth and durable surface comes in two base color options. The white base is opaque so no metal texture shows through the final image, while the clear base allows the raw brushed metal texture to show through your image, particularly in the white or light-colored areas.

Wood Print Combo Covers

Crafted from the same material as our maple Wood Prints and finished with a protective laminate for a smooth surface.

Debossing uses heat and dies to press customizable text into select cover materials using our font options. Choose between a blind, matte, or metallic foil with 4 location options to personalize your book.

Debossing Locations

+ MORE

Each location allows for up to three lines of text. You have the option to add debossing to both the front and back of Full Material and Cameo Covers and can select different debossing styles for each. Combo Covers can have back cover debossing only.
