Description
Plascote 100 Micron Gloss
Plascote 100 is a heavier self-adhesive book covering for books that need extra strength and reinforcement.
A specialised option for books needing extra support
At 100 microns, Plascote 100 is 25% thicker than Plascote 80. The additional thickness gives the covered book a firmer feel and adds more support to the cover.
It is best suited to particular applications, such as heavily handled textbooks, larger paperbacks, reference books and books with soft or flexible covers that would benefit from extra structure.
The clear polypropylene film protects the book while allowing the original cover artwork to remain clearly visible.

When to choose Plascote 100
Extra reinforcement
The heavier film adds structure and support to soft, flexible or heavily used book covers.
A firmer finished book
Plascote 100 gives the covered book a more substantial and structured feel.
Professional-grade protection
The clear gloss film protects the book while keeping the original cover artwork visible.
Extra strength with less flexibility
Because Plascote 100 is thicker and more rigid than Plascote 80, it does not conform quite as closely around pronounced embossing, tight corners or detailed hardcover edges.
Which Plascote should I choose?
For most books, Plascote 80 remains our recommended all-round choice because it offers an excellent balance of durability, flexibility and ease of application. Choose Plascote 100 where added strength and reinforcement are more important than close conformity.
Easy measuring and accurate cutting
A 20 mm black grid printed on the backing paper makes it easy to measure, cut straight lines and position the book accurately before covering.
