Print Cloth.

When your book cover becomes the eye-catcher.

Individuality is no longer a luxury, it has become an expectation. More and more bookbinderies, manufacturers, print shops, and publishers are looking for ways to make their products truly distinctive. This is where the story of Print Cloth begins: a printable fabric that combines craftsmanship with creative freedom. But let us start at the beginning:

So what exactly is Print Cloth?

Print Cloth is a high-quality binding fabric developed specifically for individual digital and offset printing. Unlike traditional bookbinding fabrics, which come with fixed colours and surfaces, Print Cloth can be printed using a wide range of common printing methods and therefore designed entirely to your specifications.What makes it special is the paper backing on the reverse, which makes the material ready for immediate use in bookbinding. It can be processed effortlessly with dispersion adhesives such as PräTack K22, Planatol AD94/5B, or hot-melt jellies like PräMelt. Print Cloth integrates smoothly into existing workflows.

Eight versions. A world of possibilities!

Print Cloth is available in no fewer than eight variants. Supplied as roll goods with a width of 137 cm, it covers a broad range of applications. Thanks to our cutting service, it is also available in your preferred format.From the refined look of book linen and silk, to the sturdy texture of canvas, right through to particularly exclusive surfaces with a pearl or glitter finish: there is something to suit every design ambition.

Straight Talk: Who is Print Cloth worth it for?

Let’s be clear. Print Cloth is not a niche solution for special projects. It is a material that creates added value wherever individual design becomes a mark of quality.

Print Cloth is the right choice if you:

● want to produce book covers, covers, or folders with custom motifs or corporate design elements.

● want to offer your customers what standard cover materials cannot: true uniqueness.

● are looking for a material that integrates into existing gluing processes without additional investment.

● want to offer both printing and bookbinding services from a single source, as a printer or bookbinder.

Please note when choosing the printing process:

● Scratch resistance depends on the selected ink saturation: the higher the saturation, the greater the risk of color rub-off.

● Varnishing or lamination is generally not recommended, as it changes the look and feel of the material.

● Preset standard color profiles have proven effective, but they should still be tested individually and adjusted if necessary.
