Faux Leather and Linen Softcovers
The look and feel of a premium cover, with the flexibility of a softcover.
Faux linen softcover with foil stamping and wire-o binding
Faux leather and linen softcovers bring the rich texture of a luxury cover to planners, journals, and books, without the weight and rigidity of a hardcover. They feel substantial in the hand, flex naturally, and hold up to daily use.
Instead of a printed cover sheet, the cover material itself is the finish. Your title, logo, or design is added with foil stamping, debossing, or embossing, giving every cover a refined, tactile look.

Foil Stamping, Debossing, and Embossing
Because faux leather and linen are not printed, every cover is finished with foil stamping, debossing, or embossing. This is how your title, logo, or artwork appears on the cover, and it is what gives these covers their premium look.
Each design is stamped from a custom die. The die is a one-time charge confirmed after we review your artwork, and we keep it on file so reorders carry no die charge. Browse our foil samples to choose a color, or learn more about foil stamping and embossing.
