Which Books Are Eligible for BookvaultBespoke Foiling?

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

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?
