Question
What paper options are available for book interiors and covers?
Answer
Books use two different kinds of stock: a lighter paper for the interior pages and a heavier stock for the cover. Matching each to how the book will be used keeps it both readable and durable.
- Interior pages: uncoated text stock is the usual choice, and it suits workbooks or activity books where readers write or color.
- Covers: a heavier cover stock stands up to repeated handling.
- Cover finish: matte, gloss, or other finishes add protection and a polished look, with matte adding durability on high-use books.
Pick the interior for readability and writability, and the cover weight and finish for durability.
