Board Covers for Hardcover Planners and Books

by Vervante •

If you're looking for a budget-friendly, durable and attractive alternative for hardcover books or planners, board covers might be the answer for you. A popular (and affordable) cover we have been offering is a 2-ply. We are now also offering a 3-ply and 4-ply option. To produce these covers, we use our standard 12 pt C1S cover stock, the same cover used for a paperback book. We litho laminate (glue) two pieces together, three piece or four pieces of cover weight stock together to create a great option to a traditional hardcover.

Advantages of board covers

  • Depending on the size of the cover, board covers cost about 50% less than hardcovers
  • The turnaround time is at least two weeks less than hardcovers
  • We can wire-o bind or spiral bind (metal or plastic) board covers
  • Board covers can be printed 2-sided

So, if you’re working on a product that you’d like to have ready sooner than it would take using a traditional hard cover, a board cover might just be the solution for you.

Gold wire-o and metal spiral binding

by Vervante •

We've got the gold!

We're so excited - the ship we've been waiting for finally came in! Several months ago we purchased shiny bright gold wire-o and metal spiral binding from a manufacturer in China. The ports have been backed up for a long time, but the boat finally arrived with our shipment and we now have beautiful bright gold wire-o and metal wire-o binding in stock.
 
We offer silver - and now gold - metal spiral binding on-demand, or in any other quantity. Our wire-o binding is available in minimum order quantities of 25.
 
We will be ordering more bright gold, but based on the port situation, it will be many months before we get more shiny bright gold in stock again so order now while supplies last. We cannot get bright gold in either wire-o or metal spiral from a U.S. distributor so we are excited to finally have this in-demand item in stock.

For more information or to inquire about using gold wire-o or gold metal spiral binding for your planners, journals or other products, contact our team at sales@vervante.com.
