A cover material gives a planner, journal, or book a finished, tactile feel that a printed cover cannot. We offer two cover materials: Firenze, a leather-grain material, and LBS Allure®, a coated linen cloth. All 40 Allure colors are available for your project, not only the eight we keep on the shelf. Browse the full color range below, then choose the material, color, and binding that fit your product.
Screen colors are approximate. Both materials have texture and sheen that a flat color block cannot show, and monitors and phones render color differently, so we recommend confirming your final choice against a physical swatch before production. Email [email protected] to request swatches.
Both materials wrap the cover board or cover sheet and can be personalized with your logo or title. The difference is texture, construction, and color range.
Softcovers. Our faux leather and faux linen softcovers are built 2-ply. The inside of the cover can be the same material as the outside, or a printed inside cover. Softcovers can be spiral bound, wire-o bound, or perfect bound, and the minimum order is 25 copies. See the Faux Leather and Linen Softcovers page for details, or watch the wire-o and spiral video and the perfect bound video.
Hardcovers. The same materials are available on turned-edge hardcover books, planners, and journals. See the Faux Leather and Linen Hardcovers page.
Personalization. Add your logo, title, or artwork with foil stamping, debossing, or embossing. See Foil Stamping and Embossing for options.
All 40 Allure colors are available. We keep eight colors in stock, and the other 32 are available by special order. Color name and number are shown under each swatch. Include the number on your quote request.
Firenze has a leather grain finish and is available in six colors. Include the color name on your quote request.
If your brand color is not in either collection, a printed cover can match it. Printed softcovers and printed hardcovers are produced from your artwork in full color. See Printed Softcovers and Printed Hardcovers.

Firenze is a faux leather with a leather grain finish, offered in six colors. Allure is a polycotton cloth with an aqueous acrylic coating and a linen texture finish, offered in 40 colors, and it wipes clean.
If neither collection has your color, a printed cover can match it, since printed covers are produced from your artwork in full color.
Whatever stage you are at, here is where to start.
