About The Book Cover Co
Welcome to The Book Cover Co
We help schools, libraries, booksellers and book lovers protect their books with quality materials, practical advice and friendly, personal service.
The Book Cover Co is an Australian family business specialising in book covering and library supplies. We have been helping schools, libraries, booksellers and book lovers protect their books since 2001.
Over that time, we have built our range around products we know, use and trust. This includes self-adhesive and non-adhesive book coverings, dust-jacket protection, tapes, labels, laminating film and specialist book-covering equipment.
Book covering is not simply one small category among many for us. It is the heart of our business.
Products we understand
We understand how different covering materials behave, how they should be applied and which products are best suited to different books and situations. That allows us to offer practical advice based on real experience rather than simply repeating a product description.
Tell us what you are covering and what you want to achieve, and we will help you choose the most suitable material, even when the best option is not the most expensive one.
Products made and developed by us
Our Plascote adhesive coverings are made to our specifications, and we manufacture our Unifold dust-jacket sleeving here in Australia.
Whether we make a product ourselves or source it from a trusted supplier, we care about consistency, reliability and the finished result. We carefully choose the products we sell and stand behind their quality.
From one much-loved book to an entire library
Our customers range from people protecting a favourite book at home to schools and libraries ordering supplies for thousands of books.
Whatever the size of the job, the same care and product knowledge apply. You are welcome to contact us with a question and speak to someone who knows the products and is genuinely interested in helping you get a good result.
Personal service
As a small business, we try to make dealing with us straightforward. We are happy to answer questions, explain the differences between products and help with unusual covering requirements.
If there is something you need that we do not currently stock, we will do our best to help or point you in the right direction.
As a book lover who grew up around libraries, looking after books has always felt important to me. After more than 25 years working with book covering materials, I still enjoy helping customers choose the right product and get the best result.
Whether you are caring for a school library, protecting a personal collection or covering one much-loved book, you are always welcome to get in touch.
