ONE-PIECE WRAP-AROUND COVERS

Wrap-Around One-Piece Covers

1. DIY Wrap-Around Hard Covers

Called Pinchbooks, these unique hard covers are pre-made and have a pinching spine that holds in your pages. They will hold up to about 35 sheets (70 pages front and back) of standard copy paper. They are surprisingly strong, and are easily edited as many times as you need so you can re-use the same cover for different presentations. Lots of sizes are available, and they make a popular photobook as well as presentation cover. Some sizes have windows so you can show part of your first page through, or some are just solid covers. Pinchbook hard covers are very sturdy and only take a few seconds to put together; just open up the covers, place your pages in the spine, and close the covers again.

2. Folder Covers

Standard pocket folders are a great solution for presentations. They have pockets on the inside front and back, and sometimes you can even staple in folded pages into the middle as well. Presentation folder covers come in either a smooth glossy finish or a linen textured finish, and even an eco-friendly 100% recycled chipboard option. Both are pretty thick and sturdy, without being too much. There are also pocket folders that can be customized with a pouch laminator, called quick stick print your own folders. These are great for businesses who might not be able to afford professionally printed folders, but still want to customize them.

3. Side Staple Wrap-Around Covers

Also called agility covers, side staple covers pair a premium linen back and spine with a clear matted front. Put your pages into the cover and staple the two flaps. These allow you to easily open the cover and let the presentation lay flat (unlike stapling the spine without flaps). The clear front lets you easily customize each individual presentation, if you need to.

4. Custom Printed Folders

If your budget and volume needs allow, you can also consider custom printed folders. Because these are made to order, we can do nearly anything you need. Not just printing, but we can deboss, we can add extra pockets, we can add staple-in pages, and a huge variety of other custom solutions. There are also near endless material options, including paper, linen or textured paper, glossy laminate, eco, and even plastic/poly. Whatever kind of custom folder you're imagining, we can help it come to life. There is a 250 folder minimum requirement.


SINGLE SHEET COVER PAGES

Single Sheet Binding Cover Pages

6. Chipboard Eco Cover Sheets

Chip board covers are made from 100% PCW recycled content. They are perfect for eco-conscious users or those who simply want a rustic look. Chipboard sheets come in many thicknesses so you can choose from very flexible to slightly more stable like the thickness of a credit card. Custom options can even be made extra rigid. Because they are made with recycled materials, the color will vary from gray to brown, and will often have freckles or specs throughout, making each sheet unique.

7. Linen Weave Cover Sheets

Also called linen weave, these cover sheets have a cross-hatched surface and are manufactured with a quality, yet economical, paper stock. You can choose linen paper covers either with or without a window cut-out. There are several professional colors as well. Because they are usually used as sets (meaning not paired with other kinds of covers) they come in a pack of 200 covers with 100 fronts and 100 backs.

8. Embossed Sturdy Grain Cover Sheets

Embossed paper covers, sometimes also called sturdy grain, are made of an 80# paper stock with an upscale textured design on the front, and a smooth finish on the back.
