Catering to every taste
Our bookbinding linens enrich the reading experience with quality and elegance. Our collection includes Brillianta, offered in over 60 colours, ideal for books and luxury packaging of any format. The Natuur & Halflinnen range, with its naturally coarse texture and rustic tones, is perfect for large-format art books. For more demanding or heavier-duty applications, consider Buckram Premium, Metallium, or Reprotex.
If sustainability matters to you, many of our cover materials are made from LENZINGâ„¢ ECOVEROâ„¢ viscose, sustainable cotton, and responsibly grown flax. We also offer Ecojeans, crafted from eco-friendly viscose and lyocell, giving its distinctive look through recycled denim yarns.
