Professional Dust Jackets
A high-quality dust jacket (or book jacket) is the hallmark of professional hardcover publishing. It protects the cloth or paper binding while providing a vibrant canvas for your cover art, author bio, and book synopsis.
At Rainbow Book Printing, we specialize in precision-folded jackets that fit snugly around your case-bound or softcover books. Whether you are looking for a classic gloss finish or a sophisticated matte finish, we ensure your colors are rich and your text is crisp.
- Custom-sized flaps for author bios and reviews
- Premium 157gsm or 200gsm coated paper stock
- Scuff-resistant matte or high-gloss lamination
- Spot UV and Foil Stamping options available
Custom Belly Bands
Belly bands (also known as book bands) are a powerful marketing tool used to highlight special features without changing your permanent cover art. They are perfect for announcing awards, "as seen on" blurbs, or promotional discounts.
Our belly bands are custom-trimmed and wrapped securely around your book (hardcover or softcover). They add a tactile, multi-layered feel that immediately catches the eye of potential readers on a bookstore shelf.
- Fully customizable widths and lengths
- Removable without damaging the book cover
- Ideal for limited editions and seasonal promotions
- Available in textured, metallic, or standard paper
Design Tip for Authors
When designing your dust jacket, remember to account for the spine width and the flap folds. The spine width will vary depending on your final page count and paper thickness. We recommend finalizing your layout only after your page count is confirmed.
