PVC plastic (foamed) 1.0-1.5-2.0mm self-adhesive double-sided
Self-adhesive sheets foamed PVC with an excellent double-sided adhesive backing protected by a special siliconized release film (PET liner). On the cut, the plastic has a smooth edge. As a result, photobooks or albums are obtained with perfect ends. Adhesive layers are special rubber thermo-melts (without water content) with high residual adhesion at room temperature. This allows you to create spreads (pages) of photo books and albums that are durable and resistant to external influences. Over time, the glue does not dry out! A distinctive feature of foamed PVC is its relatively small specific gravity. As a result, even books assembled on this material with a thickness of 2 mm weigh insignificantly.

Each person has documents that they want to protect from dirt. And this is not only a passport, but also a student ID, driver's license, birth certificate and so on. Covers are most often used to protect papers. On the manufacture of such products, you can build your own business, which will bring considerable profit. The main thing is to buy necessary materials, tools and some experience.
Making covers for documents requires precise adherence to technology. Otherwise, the products will be of poor quality.
What you need
The manufacturing process of such products is quite simple. The main thing is to be careful and follow the basic rules. To start making covers for documents, you need to purchase everything you need. This requires the base material, varnish, lining, cardboard blanks, which give the products rigidity. You also need to decide in advance what you will make the covers from. Artificial leather substitutes, natural leather, and vinyl can be used as the main material. A lot depends on the choice. In addition, the life of the cover depends on the wear resistance of the base material.
The lining is necessary to maintain an attractive appearance of the product. Usually it is made from artificial materials. Special attention varnish should be given. The colors and other characteristics of the cover usually depend on the purpose of the cover. It is best to use the acrylic composition in spray cans. Making document covers is a simple process. The main thing is to follow the sequence. Cardboard parts should be inserted between the lining. This will make the product more rigid and protect it from kinks and tears. That's all there is to business. You can start making document covers.
Business Benefits
PVC, leather and other materials as a business has many advantages. Among them it is worth highlighting the following:
Document cover technology
The image on the workpiece should be applied using the blending technique. Thanks to this, you can make an original and beautiful cover. The color and patterns in this case depend on the type of document. It is worth noting that the equipment for making covers for documents can be found in almost any home. After all, sewing is carried out using a conventional sewing machine.
For decoration finished products you can use almost any decorative elements. However, it should be remembered that not only young people are interested in such a product. Therefore, it is worth making covers for all age categories. This will increase sales.
Business payback
So you've started making document covers. This business usually pays off. Many are interested in how long it takes. There is no definite answer here. Payback this business directly depends on how much time you devote to it and how much effort you put in.
As for the cost of materials, it is easy to calculate everything. One square meter of leather is enough to make 20 document covers. The cost of this material is about 200 rubles. For the same number of products, 10 sheets of cardboard and a square meter of lining are required. This amount of materials costs about 100 rubles. Do not forget about acrylic varnish. Making covers for documents from PVC and other materials is simply impossible without it. Acrylic lacquer costs about 150 rubles. Now you can calculate the cost of finished products. This figure is 30 rubles. At the same time, the production time is only 1 - 1.5 hours. On average, the selling price of such a product is about 300 rubles for only one cover.
How and to whom to sell
The main disadvantage of any business is the complexity of the implementation of finished products. Such problems arise at the initial stage. After all, newcomers in this field need to look for points of sale for their products, and this requires communication skills.
If you started a business of producing covers for various documents, then you should look for the main consumer among young people. Most often, these products are bought by people aged 16 to 35 years, and this is no coincidence. It is at this age that a person is more attracted to bright and unusual things. To begin with, you should advertise your product as an inexpensive but creative gift.
Finally
Making covers for various documents is an ideal way to earn money for those who strive for financial independence. The technology for creating such a product is quite simple and does not require excessive costs. The starting materials in this case have a fairly low cost. Which, in turn, allows you to produce covers with a low cost. This business pays off very quickly. The main thing is to do it daily.
Among the shortcomings of such a business, it is worth highlighting the difficulty of selling goods at the initial stage. Before you start making covers for documents, you should decide in advance on the age category of consumers, as well as decide how such products will be positioned.
All existing types of covers and binding covers can be classified by design (covers according to the method of fastening with a book block), the shape of the spine, the presence of edges and the type of corners. Some of them apply to . GOST 22240-76 provides for four types of covers and five types of binding covers. Each type is assigned a number and a name. type 1 - cover for a saddle stitch; type 2 - cover for ordinary cover; type 3 - cover for cover-up; type 4 - composite cover with spine edging; type 5 - composite cover; type 6 - binding cover from one piece; type 7 - one-piece cover; type 8 - binding cover with false sides and false spine; type 9 - binding cover with false sides and edged spine. According to the design, covers are divided into covers made of one piece (types 1, 2, 3) and composite covers (type 4). Covers of the 1st type are mainly made for publications, are completed with an insert, fastened with a notebook block (up to 5 mm thick.) With wire when sewing a saddle stitch. The processing of brochures made with a saddle cover is relatively low. If the cover is included in the brochure, then this cover is called "own". If the cover is made as a separate element (it differs from the block in a more colorful print or a thicker grade of paper), then this cover has the term "foreign". Covers of type 2 with double scoring and type 3 with quad scoring, respectively, are designed to fasten the block in a tetrad by threads or adhesive seamless joints (SBS). When opening a brochure, the main load falls on the big spine, which can lead to the separation of the cover from the book block. Based on this, the design of the type 3 cover is more durable. To attach the cover to the block, glue is applied to both the spine and the sides of the block. In this case, when opening the brochure, the load does not act on the spine beak, but on the decorative one, outside the cover (thickening inside). This type of covers is the most common and very often made out of a thin paper dust jacket glued to the spine and folded along the front edge ("English brochure"). Type 4 cover construction is composite. The sides of such a cover can be completed together with the book block, or can be glued to the outer pages in the same way as endpapers. In the manufacture of a brochure with this type of cover, the edging strip-spine is glued with an overlap over the spine of the book block by 10-15 mm. Such covers have not been widely used, due to an unreliable adhesive connection, since the inner surface of the cover has low adhesive properties when varnishing or laminating. But with the development of technology, it was possible to overcome this shortcoming. New types of brochures have been created with free space between the cover and the block, improving disclosure, which is very important for the perception of images and tables passing through the spine margin. Book blocks made using new technologies, the ability to lie open freely. The blocks are called - lay-flat books (flat-lying books). The edging strip is pasted with flexible and durable polyurethane adhesive (PUR). Let us consider some types of fastening of the cover belonging to type 4, which have become widespread recently.
This booklet has a edging block, which is connected to the back of the cover only with a narrow strip of glue. Typically, the block has a thickness of up to 10 mm, and the cover, which has a double or triple creasing, is fully opened. As a edging material, a fabric is used that bends much lighter than paper. As a result, the block is easier to open. One type of Swiss brochure is the binder brochure. The brochure has an additional part of the cover (15 mm) in the spine area, on which there are holes with metal rings (grommets) for attaching to any surface.Otabint Brochure
The Otabind brochure was developed by the Finnish publishing group Otava. The block is also glued with fabric tape in the area of the spine with an overlap. The cover with a six-time creasing is glued to the block with a strip of glue located between two outer pairs of creasing directed inward. To give solidity, this edition is completed with a cover with a valve. In a number of countries, this type of pamphlet is chosen for the production of textbooks, since their production is not as expensive as sewing with thread. After the Otabint brochure was patented by the Dutch company Nexpoor (the patent expired 10 years ago), a similar brochure design appeared with other developers using similar binding methods, one way or another bypassing the patent. Uses the same type of binding as the Otabind brochure. The cover is not glued to the block in the spine area, which is sealed with fabric tape. Then the spine is deformed so that in the open state it experiences less stress. The disadvantage of such seamless bonding is the low degree of automation of the production process. This once again proves that seamless bonding technologies have room to develop. The development goes in two directions: improvement of the block design and development of new gluing technologies. Next, let's take a look at traditional book covers, the design of which, "honed over the centuries", has almost reached perfection. Binding covers consisting of one piece belong to type 6. Whole-covered ones, related to type 7, consist of four parts: two cardboard sides, lagging and cover material. Binding covers of type 5, 8, 9 are composite, completed with six parts: two cardboard sides, a backlog and three independent parts of the cover material (spine and two cover sides). Cardboard sides in covers of type 5 are pasted over with cover sides with the flaps bent inward on three sides, the fourth - on top of the spine. Lids of type 8 and 9 have pasted cardboard sides with flaps bent on all four sides (the cardboard sides themselves are glued in the same way as type 5 over the spine). The difference between Type 8 and Type 9 bindings is the presence and absence of lagging to stiffen the spine of the cover.Traditional bookbindings
Type 5 binding covers are used in the production of high school textbooks, some political and fiction, publications for children, etc. The assembly technology of such a lid with pre-sealed sides is very laborious. Most often produced with paper cover sides, which leads to low wear resistance. To increase the durability of the cover material, lamination and varnishing are used, but these operations increase the cost of binding. Covers of type 5 with a fabric spine on the sides are beautiful in appearance, strong and wear-resistant, but complemented by embossing are expensive to manufacture. They are used in the manufacture of expensive gift, anniversary editions, encyclopedias and monographs. Very often, such a binding is used when printing on small-format digital equipment, while other type 6, 7 binding covers require a full-covered cover. Type 6 binding covers are cheap to produce and the manufacturing techniques are simple. But the two main requirements for binding covers - rigidity and opening, in this design come into conflict. Covers made from one piece on the basis of thin cardboard without edges degenerate into brochures with covers glued to the block by means of endpapers. Type 6 covers received modern development and got the name integral binding, which experts see a bright future. Such a binding consists of a solid cardboard blank with folded and glued edges and bigs along the spine lines. The necessary rigidity can be provided by selecting the cardboard of the desired density and the film for lamination. In terms of durability, integral binding is between "hard" and "soft". The total weight of the book in such binding is reduced by 15-20%. Taking from the cover the main advantages: manufacturability and low cost, it has a more solid appearance and practicality. If necessary, this type of binding can be subjected to any type of finish, including lamination and embossing. If you increase the size of the valves and do not stick on a cardboard base, then the resulting cover is called semi-integral. Binding covers of type 7. This type of covers is the most widely used. Such popularity is due to simplicity, durability and not expensive production compared to other lids. Coating materials are used on a fabric or paper basis with a polymer coating (such as bumvinyl, balacron). A variation of such binding is covers with paper cellophane cover material (7BTs). For decorative design, multi-color prints with lamination are used as a cover material. Depending on the shape of the spine, binding covers are distinguished with a straight and rounded (cylindrical) spine. According to the presence and absence of edging, the cover and binding cover come with edging and without edging, respectively. If there is no edging, then the size of the cardboard sides corresponds to the format of the publication (book block). The size of covers and binding covers with piping is larger than the size of the book block by the size of the piping on three sides. See: According to the type of corners, covers come with straight, rounded and straight glued corners. Additional finishes on the binding cover, such as embossing, place special demands on the cover material. GOST of 1976 did not include plastic binding covers with welded joint parts and a number of other rarely used types. Also, new types of bindings that appeared after the adoption of this GOST were not included (their description is given in the article on types of binding). 1 - binding cover; 2 - cardboard side; 3 - lagging behind; 4 - cover spine; 5 - cover side; 6 - cover material; 7 - invoice side; 8 - invoice spine; 9 - edging material; 10 - adhesive layer; 11 - scoring line; 12 - block; 13 - flyleaf.It is no secret that today almost every person is forced to carry a whole set of documents with them. To save them and protect them from damage, better way as a cover, not found yet. However, it is not always possible to buy a suitable “crust” format for a document, and this niche for small businesses is partly empty. Getting your start-up capital by starting the production of various covers for documents is quite real way.

How to start making document covers
The essence of this kind of activity is that at the start you do minimum investment, such as:
- the purchase of a sewing machine that can process the edge of the product and high-quality stitching of leather, vinyl, and suede;
- purchase of the material necessary for the manufacture of covers to order;
- buying fabric - for the inside of the products;
- buying cardboard - for the shape and strength of the cover;
- purchase of transparent plastic - for the "envelope" that fixes the document.
If suddenly, you will not have the opportunity to purchase a machine, then you should not give up this idea, because you can make such a product as you like, even by hand, since the dimensions are not very large.
Manufacturing technology of covers for documents
This work should be done in the following order:
- open the document and measure its width and height;
- make allowances: in width 2.5 - 3 cm, in height 0.5 - 1 cm;
- according to the size of the resulting triangle, it is worth cutting out the front side of the cover;
- make allowances for fabric and cardboard ( interior design) by 0.5 cm;
- cut the plastic on the front side (the width of the size of the closed document is 1/2 - 1/3);
- connect all the prepared parts together;
