Cover Materials
Explore our collection of leather, fabric, and photo surface options to customize your cover.
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.
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.
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.
Photo Covers
Lustre Cover with Matte Laminate
Offers vibrant colors and excellent skin tones. Finished with a protective laminate for a slightly textured, matte finish.
Premium Fine Art Canvas Cover
Our most popular canvas style. Your image is printed directly onto the canvas surface and finished with a semi-gloss protective laminate for a slightly reflective 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.
Popular
White Base with High Gloss Finish
A luminous base with a glossy, reflective finish that allows your image to pop with rich colors and details. Everything looks great on this sleek surface.
White Base with Semi-Gloss Finish
A slightly reflective finish that shows rich colors and pairs well with all types of photography.
White Base with Matte Finish
Offers the vibrancy you love in a Metal Print without the reflective shine. This opaque, satiny surface makes your colors pop.
Clear Base with High Gloss Finish
Shiny, reflective quality with a more metallic, translucent look.
Clear Base with Matte Finish
Non-reflective surface that maintains the metallic look without the shine.
Wood Print Combo Covers
Crafted from the same material as our maple Wood Prints and finished with a protective laminate for a smooth surface.
Cover Debossing
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 cover.
Please see our guidelines for details on debossing style limitations based on your material selection.
