Royal Felt with Window

Create the title sheet after confirming the cover size, window location, binding edge, and punching pattern. Place the cover over a printed proof and mark the visible area before finalising the artwork. Keep important text, logos, and identifying details away from the opening’s edges because sheets can shift slightly during punching and binding. The title should remain centred when the document is closed and resting naturally. Include enough blank space around the visible information to prevent a crowded appearance. Test the complete document with the intended front cover, pages, and binding supplies before printing the full title-sheet quantity. This proof will reveal alignment issues caused by margins, page movement, scaling, printer placement, or the position of the holes.

An 80 lb window cover offers a flexible feel and is suitable for everyday reports, proposals, manuals, and presentation materials. It is generally easier to print, punch, and turn. A 110 lb cover feels firmer and provides more resistance to bending, which may suit portfolios, formal reports, certificates, and documents that will be handled repeatedly. The heavier option can place greater demands on printers and punching equipment, so confirm their supported media ranges before use. The die-cut opening also reduces material in part of the front cover, making careful handling important with either weight. For projects where a solid front is preferred, Royal Felt Bright White covers provide a non-window option in several sizes.

The window should not interfere when the cover size, window position, punching pattern, and binding margin are correctly matched. Problems may occur if the cover is rotated incorrectly, punched on the wrong edge, or placed into equipment without confirming orientation. Before processing the full quantity, insert one cover into the punch and verify that every hole remains clear of the window opening and surrounding cut area. The binding edge must retain enough paper to hold securely without tearing. Heavier covers may require fewer sheets per punching cycle than standard paper. Keep the front and back covers aligned with the document pages throughout assembly. A finished sample helps confirm that the window remains centred and that the document opens without stressing the punched edge.

The appropriate shade depends on the paper used inside the document, the printed artwork, and the intended presentation style. Bright White creates a crisp appearance and strong contrast with dark text or colour graphics. Natural White has a warmer tone that can suit formal, traditional, or understated materials. Ultra White provides a clean, high-white appearance where maximum visual brightness is preferred. PC White offers another neutral option that may coordinate with recycled or specific white paper stocks. Place each potential cover shade beside the actual internal paper under normal viewing conditions because printer paper described as white can vary noticeably.
