This month we have prepared a brief video overview of clear covers and frosted/matte coversused for booklet binding. The video clip below offers a brief description, close-up views of the textures, and the thickness/rigidity/durability of each cover. As an added bonus we have obtained ‘top secret’ footage from the CFS Test Labs showing highly scientific testing methods to evaluate each covers characteristics.
