textile materials for book covers

A book isn’t just a tale to tell; it’s a beautiful possession. A well- bound linen cover enhances any book’s value.

Van Heek Textiles manufactures and distributes high-quality textiles for book covers globally. We supply only the finest book cloth, ensuring every book receives the cover it deserves.

TEXTILE MATERIALS FOR BOOK COVERS

Van Heek Textiles stands as one of the largest producers of book linen, offering superior quality fabrics that make books visually distinctive. Our extensive collection of book cloth comes in a wide array of colours and textures, ensuring that every book looks unique and special.

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.

Explore our range:

A book is not only a story, it is an opinion, a conviction or an overview, but, above all, it is a beautiful object, a dear possession.
