Which Books Are Eligible for BookvaultBespoke Foiling?

Find out which Bookvault bindings and cover finishes are eligible for BookvaultBespoke special foiling options.

Bookvault Bespoke special foiling is available on all binding types except Case Bound Cloth.

For these special foiling options to be available, your book must also use a matt cover finish.

Which bindings can have special foiling?

Special BookvaultBespoke foiling is available across our binding options except Case Bound Cloth.

If you're setting up a Case Bound Cloth title, the traditional foil-blocking options for cloth-bound books are handled differently.

For information about those options, see:

What Books Can You Foil Block?

 Does my cover need to be matt?

Yes. Your cover stock must have a matt finish for the BookvaultBespoke special foiling options to become available.

If the option isn't appearing while you're setting up your title, check both:

  • The binding you've selected
  • The cover finish you've selected
How do I prepare my artwork for foiling?

If your title is eligible, you'll need to supply your printed cover artwork and foiling artwork as separate files.

We've got a full guide covering the artwork requirements here:

How to Prepare and Upload Artwork for BookvaultBespoke Foiling

The foiling artwork should use a white background with the areas to be foiled supplied in black, and the cover and foil files need to have matching dimensions.

What's the difference between BookvaultBespoke foiling and Case Bound Cloth foil blocking?

BookvaultBespoke special foiling and the foil-blocking option available for Case Bound Cloth are different options.

If you're creating a Case Bound Cloth title, see our dedicated guide:

What Books Can You Foil Block?

Can I use more than one foil colour on the same book?

BookvaultBespoke supports one foil colour per book as standard.

When setting up your title, choose the foil colour you want to use for your foiled artwork. Multiple different foil colours can't normally be applied to the same book.

Can I combine Spot UV and foiling on the same book?

No. Spot UV and foiling can't both be applied to the same book.

If you're creating a BookvaultBespoke title, you'll need to choose either Spot UV or foiling for that book rather than combining the two finishes.
