textile materials for book covers

A book isn’t just a tale to tell; it’s a beautiful possession. A well-bound linen cover enhances any book’s value.

Van Heek Textiles manufactures and globally distributes top-tier textiles for book covers. We provide only the finest quality book cloth, ensuring every book gets the cover it deserves.

TEXTILE MATERIALS FOR BOOK COVERS

Van Heek Textiles stands as one of the largest producers of book linen, offering superior quality fabrics that make books visually distinctive. Our extensive collection of book cloth comes in a wide array of colours and textures, ensuring that every book looks unique and special.

Catering to every taste

Our bookbinding linens enhance the reading experience with quality and elegance. Our collection features the iconic Brillianta, available in over 60 colours, ideal for books and luxury packaging in any format. The Natuur & Halflinnen brand, with its naturally coarse texture and rustic tones, is perfect for large-format art books. For heavier applications, consider our Buckram Premium line, Metallium, or Reprotex.

If sustainability is a priority, you’ll be pleased to know that most of our cover materials are made from LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose, sustainable cotton and responsibly grown flax. We’ve taken it a step further with Ecojeans, which is made from eco-friendly viscose and lyocell, and gets its distinctive look from recycled denim yarns.

A book is not only a story, it is an opinion, a conviction or an overview, but, above all, it is a beautiful object, a dear possession.
