How many books one roll covers
Lay the book open and add about 3 cm on every side for the fold. For a notebook of about 24 x 18 cm, that is a piece of about 30 x 43 cm. Put the book's height across the roll's width, and each cover uses about 43 cm of the roll's length.
| Roll | Regular notebooks covered (about) |
|---|---|
| 14 inch x 8 m | 18 |
| 14 inch x 5 m | 11 |
| 14 inch x 3 m | 6 |
| 14 inch x 2.5 m | 5 |
These are estimates for one common notebook size. Measure one of your own books before you plan a large order.
When to order
Notebook covers sell most from February to June, before schools reopen. Most of the range is made to order, so plan your designs and quantities in December and January, and we can make the order before the rush. See how to cover a notebook for a guide you can share with customers.
Questions buyers ask
How many notebooks does one roll cover?
A regular notebook of about 24 x 18 cm needs a piece of about 30 x 43 cm with the folds. On a 14 inch roll each cover uses about 43 cm of length, so an 8 m Super Delux roll covers about 18 such notebooks and a 3 m roll about 6. Bigger books use more.
Why are widths in inches and lengths in metres?
That is how the Indian stationery trade buys notebook covers, so we quote the same way. The millimetre width is given alongside.
Are all your covers 50 micron or more?
Yes. Every cover we make is 50 micron or thicker, as India's plastic rules require.
