The "Self-Cover" option is the strategic choice for projects where utility and cost are priorities:
-
Mailing Efficiency: Because the book is lighter than those with heavy cardstock covers, it often falls into lower postage categories, saving you money on direct mail campaigns.
-
Flexibility: These books are easier to fold and carry, making them perfect for guidebooks or event schedules that guests will keep in their pockets.
-
Uniform Aesthetics: A self-cover book offers a sleek, consistent texture from front to back, ideal for minimalist designs and text-heavy manuals.
