Unifold PVC Dust Jacket Sleeving
Unifold PVC is our Australian-made dust jacket protection system for hardcover books, combining a clear PVC front with a paper backing to enclose and protect the jacket.
Protects the dust jacket without permanently altering the book
Unifold combines a clear 100-micron PVC film with a paper backing to form a protective sleeve around the dust jacket. Together, the PVC and paper enclose the jacket, helping protect it from handling, marks, tears and everyday wear.
The sleeve also wraps around the book boards, holding the dust jacket securely in place and improving the presentation of the finished book.
Because no adhesive attaches to the book or dust jacket, Unifold can be removed without leaving residue or evidence that it was ever fitted. This makes it an excellent choice for libraries, bookshops and private collectors.

Why choose Unifold PVC?
Encloses the dust jacket
The clear PVC front and paper backing surround the jacket, protecting both its outside surface and reverse side.
Removable protection
Unifold protects the jacket and holds it securely in place without adhesive contacting the book or the dust jacket.
Ideal for collectors
The original book and jacket remain unaltered, helping preserve condition, presentation and collectable value.
Made in Australia by The Book Cover Co
Every roll of Unifold is manufactured on our premises in Australia. We take particular care with alignment, folding and finish, with quality checks throughout production.
Standard Unifold or Unifold Pro
Standard Unifold
Standard Unifold is secured using a small piece of tape applied to the Unifold itself. No adhesive attaches to the book or dust jacket.
Unifold Pro
Unifold Pro includes a self-adhesive strip along the paper backing. The strip attaches only to the Unifold paper, not to the book or dust jacket, removing the need for separate adhesive tape.
Choosing the correct roll width
Measure the height of the book and select Unifold that is the same height or slightly taller. You do not need to allow additional material for folding over the top and bottom edges.
For example, a book measuring 250 mm high is suited to 250 mm Unifold. A wider size can also be used for smaller books, so a 300 mm roll will cover books measuring 300 mm high or less.
Available sizes
How much will I need?
As a very rough guide, one metre of Unifold will cover approximately two average hardcover books. Actual usage will vary with book size and the amount of overlap required.
Material standards
The PVC film used in Unifold is phthalate free and REACH compliant, giving libraries, bookshops, collectors and families added confidence in the material they are using.
When is Unifold PVC the best choice?
Choose Unifold PVC when you want durable protection for a hardcover dust jacket without permanently changing the book. It is particularly well suited to libraries, bookshops and collectors who value both protection and removability.
