Whether you are producing a cloth bound hard cover or even in some cases, a printed hard cover, you may want the additional option of a printed, laminated dust jacket. Standard Dust Jacket specifications:
4 color printing on 65 lb coated cover stock with option of Gloss/Matte or Soft Touch Matte film lamination. Flaps are typically scored with a 3.5″ width. We can send you a dust jacket and hardcover template diagram if you are planning on adding a dust jacket to your book project!
Do you offer special finishing techniques?
We are able to offer some extra techniques such as foil stamping overprinting, spot UV coating ( over a soft touch or matte lamination). Let us know what you are looking for!

The below diagram is an example of a 9″ w x 12″ h hard cover dust jacket template on a book that was 1.50″ thickness
Formula as follows:
Interior page size = 9 x 12″
Add page width + 0.25= 9.25
Add page height + 0.25″ = 12.25
Add text bulk + 0.125″ = 1.625″
