Custom Book Slipcase

The book slipcase is a five-sided box, usually made of high-quality cardboard. Book slipcase is most commonly used in edition book sets, coffee table books, binders, and storage of reference materials in the publishing industry, leaving the spine of the book exposed. The slipcase can not only protect the books from dust, light, and damage, and turn the books into a high-end display that stands out on any bookshelf, but also can be used as a decorative collection to add taste to the home. During the process of selling, the books will be very eye-catching, show their unique charm, and attract people’s attention!

The Usage of Book Slipcase


  • Protection

The slipcase makes the books inside better sealed and kept. It can prevent mechanical damage and natural wear and tear of books, and keeps the books flat and clean for a long time. Also, it is especially effective in protecting the edges and corners of the books.

  • Storage

As a container for holding books, the slipcase saves you the trouble of finding a suitable size container to store the books. There are some books you want to carefully preserve and collect. There is nothing more fit and convenient than the slipcase that comes with it.

  • Decoration

A slipcase with exquisite printing can also be used as an ornamental item for collection, and it can also be used as a decoration on your bookshelf or at home.

  • Publicity Display

If a book comes with a slipcase, it will definitely be outstanding among the many books in the bookstore when selling. It will attract more customers’ attention towards you, and it is definitely an invisible publicity advertisement.

The Composition of a Book Slipcase


The book slipcase is composed of an outside wrapper, a grey board, and an inside wrapper.
Usually, the outside wrapper is a piece of printed paper with lamination outside. The wrapper could be cloth or artificial leather material as well.

The grey board is a piece of thicker board folded into the box shape. Normal thickness of the grey board is 2mm, 2.5mm, and 3mm, depending on the book size, inner page amount, etc.
Usually the inside wrap paper is a blank paper without any printing. The inside wrap paper makes the slipcase look nice when you pick the book out of the case. Some slipcases have thumbs; this part can make the book more convenient to pull out of the slipcase.
