Printing & Finishing Tips on Book Cloth
We support foil stamping, debossing/embossing, and screen or UV printing on our cloth materials. For best results, please follow these guidelines:
- Color Variation – Dye lots may vary slightly; swatch samples and final production colors can differ due to natural manufacturing processes.
- Foil Stamping – Minimum line weight: 0.3 mm; avoid fine body text below 5 pt to ensure clarity and clean edges.
- Debossing – Works best with bold logos or graphics for maximum visual impact.
- Embossing – Not recommended for cloth covers, as the flexible texture reduces the raised effect.
- Screen Printing – Use vector-based artwork for sharp, clean lines and consistent color fills.
- UV Printing – On colored or textured cloth, apply a white base layer first for brighter, more vivid colors. For photographic prints, avoid overly dark or light images, and maintain strong tonal contrast for the best results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the color of cloth materials be customized?
Standard colors are available, and custom color matching may be possible depending on order volume and specifications.
How is the pricing for cloth-covered hardcover books calculated?
Pricing varies based on size, page count, and finishing. Please visit our cloth cover book page for detailed pricing and an online quote tool.
Are cloth samples available for evaluation?
Yes, we provide samples upon request to assist with material selection.
Can I print CMYK artwork directly on cloth?
Yes, we can print images directly onto cloth. However, the surface of cloth is not as smooth as paper. As a result, the printed image will not appear as sharp or vibrant as it does on paper. Additionally, the image may have less depth and layering on fabric. It is best to use images that are neither too dark nor too light, and slightly enhancing the overall color tone can improve the final result.
Can the color of cloth materials be customized?
No. We can’t. You need to choose the cloth color from our material stock list.
What's the difference between cloth vs printed paper wrap?
Cloth is more tactile and durable; paper wraps allow photo-quality CMYK and lower cost.
