Video transcript

  1. 0:00Journal fabric is judged long after the swatch.
  2. 0:05On a hardcover, cloth is glued over greyboard and folded round the corners. Binding cloth is usually backed or coated; without that, glue soaks through and bubbles.
  3. 0:16Match the logo to the weave: cloth takes a die for foil or deboss, photos move to a printed band or insert, and coarse weave breaks thin lines.
  4. 0:26Decide stain tolerance before color. Bag friction wears corners and spine first; pale uncoated cloth shows ink and coffee. For travel, pick coated or darker cloth.
  5. 0:37Five fabrics, five stories: linen craft, canvas utility, bookcloth permanence, faux suede softness, recycled PET impact. Each claim needs its own proof; paper labels cover only paper.
  6. 0:50Shortlist two fabrics, then sample.
  7. 0:55Send use, quantity, size and artwork for a quote.
