Home improvement projects are in the air at CFS right now - several of us are working on projects around our houses and they are not without their... let's just say challenges. One of the things that I have run into working on my house is non-standard sized windows and doors. Which ultimately means I cannot go down to the local hardware giant stores and grab from their stock. No, I need to place a special order and wait. I know in the end it will look great, but I'd rather get it finished fast.
Well, the same situation can often times apply to report covers for your booklets - a special size is needed, differing from the standard letter 8.5x11, legal 8.5x14 or ledger 11x17 inch covers. If that happens to you, just let us know what size you need your covers trimmed to and we can get you pricing. Each job is custom quoted and all we need is the size(s), quantities and the material you need. Your covers can have square or rounded corners and they can even be prepunched for your binding elements.
There is one caveat here, if you only need 100 or so covers, it may be more cost effective to buy a standard size and take them to a local print or copy shop. They usually have large paper cutters that can cut your whole stack of covers in one shot. They will most likely charge you less than the custom cut setup fee that is easily absorbed into larger quantity jobs.
There is one size that we have in stock that I consider non-standard: it's the 9x11 inch covers. These are designed to be used on booklets with standard tab dividers. The tab extension measures 1/2" and the 9" wide cover provides a bit of protection for them and are available in a variety of cover types.
Do you have any interesting, custom cover projects you have worked on? Please share in the comments below, we'd love to hear from you.
