Composition/Vinyl Covers are by far the most popular choice among CFS customers, often used as a back cover and paired with a clear front cover, these offer exceptional durability and protection while creating a very classy, professional presentation. Measuring 17 points thick, they are about 2 to 3 times thicker than a business card and are made up a matte paper/card stock base with a semi-glossy vinyl veneer on top. The texture resembles a stippled or pin-pricked yet smooth finish and they are available in 8 colors.

Linen Covers are a paper or card stock-based cover that feature a cross-hatched, linen or cloth-like texture pressed into the sheets. Their thickness measures in at an 80 pound card stock – much like a thinner business card paper. I like to tell people that the texture looks like a close-up on piece of cloth with threads running perpendicular to each other.  Linen covers are available in 5 colors.

Embossed Covers are made of nearly the same 80# card stock as the linen covers however their texture resembles an old leather look with deep, random grain lines pressed into the front. I often tell people that the grain resembles eroded rivers running across the sheet’s surface Embossed covers are available in 7 fashionable colors.
