Softcover Notebooks
About Softcover Notebooks
Softcover notebooks are lightweight and flexible, making them easy to carry around and a great option for brand custom notebooks. They typically feature a paper or thin cardboard cover that is less rigid than hardcover options but still provides some protection for the internal pages. We offer softcovers in either faux leather or real leather, which both create a high quality finish and ensure the inside pages are still protected. An optional lip can add to this. Similarly to hardcover notebooks, the book block is held to the cover by end papers which are glued to both pieces.
Why Softcover Notebooks Are Good
- Portability: Lightweight and easy to carry, ideal for daily use and travel.
- Cost-Effective: Generally more affordable than hardcover notebooks.
- Customization: Offers various customization options, including full-color printing on the cover.
How Softcover Notebooks Are Made
Softcover notebooks are made with a flexible cover material, such as heavy paper or cardstock. The cover is glued or sewn to the book block, creating a lighter and more flexible notebook. This construction method makes softcover notebooks more portable and cost-effective. Softcover or softbound notebooks are different to hardcovers in that they have a single piece of material (traditionally heavy paper) acting as the case rather than the thick board. Because of this, softcover notebooks are cheaper to produce and so are generally more appropriate for everyday use, and in cases where high quantities are being produced. The single piece acting as a cover also creates the most flexibility.
