Classic | Contemporary |
Mind-blowing

What cover type are we looking for?

Leather is the traditional choice - the texture adds and air of distinction | A customized cover opens the door to a world of creative colours and visual effects

Are there special printing effects that might give the concept a boost?

Is there a way to create a link between the cover and the end papers?

Our Popular Cover Choices

Our customized covers open the door to a world of creative colours and visual effects. The cover is printed specifically for your school with a design you've created. The background can be a photo collage, a texture or a mix-and-match of both. You may even wish to add stamping. It's 100% your choice!

With a customized cover, you can add everyone’s name on the back at no extra cost.

The names will be printed in the colour of your choice (no stamping, debossing, or burnt effect).

List of names for the back

The committee supervisor will need to fill out the Cover section (Design & Assembly tab) in Boogie and check “This section is ready.” You’ll receive a message within a week notifying you that a new proof is available.

If the committee chooses options that aren’t included in the contract, the fields for entering the information won’t be available. You’ll have to request a new contract and approve the new price before we prepare your cover. That way, you won’t be surprised when you get the final bill.

Personalization list

If you’ve decided to add student names to the cover, you’ll need to enter the list of names under the Design & Editing tab in Boogie. We suggest creating the list in Excel or Word and then cutting and pasting it into Boogie.

Important: The order in which students’ first names and last names will be printed in the yearbook will be determined based on the list we receive.
