Soft paperback covers are mostly gloss or matt laminated making your booklet cover durable yet cost effective. A gloss laminated finish is ideal for artwork that is bright and full of colour whereas matt is better for more elegant or darker covers. Paperback covers are soft and therefore more flexible making reading more enjoyable.

Hardcover book covers are more expensive to produce. offers the highest quality look and feel and is typically produced in smaller quantities. This option is typically used as a gift or a coffee table book, more of a signed collection book than a general reading book.

A dust jacket is a laminated paper print folded around the actual cover. This is not only a cheap way to add various designs to your cover but also additional protection from wear and tear.

Inner Page Options For Custom Book Printing

The quantity of books you order is another crucial factor, as bulk orders often lead to lower prices per unit as opposed to low quantity digital printing.

Lastly, the basic finishes you select for your books, such as binding options or special coatings, can also influence the overall cost of custom book printing. By understanding these factors, you can make informed decisions to ensure that your custom bookmaking project stays within your budget.
