The Difference Between Thermal Binding Utility Covers and Prestige Linen Thermal Covers
When it comes to thermal binding covers many of our customers have asked us what the difference between standard thermal binding utility covers and the more expensive Prestige linen covers. Both have linen weave backs and spines and can look very much the same. However, there are several things that set the Prestige Linen Covers apart from the utility variety. Here is a quick list... - Available Sizes: Unfortunately, utility covers are only available with spines 1/2" thick or smaller. These sizes fit the majority of users in the market. However, if you need a therma-a-bind cover with a spine larger than 1/2" you will need to look at the prestige linen.
- Lead Time: Utility covers are a stock item and are generally available to ship immediately. Prestige Linen covers have a number of customizable options that are not available with the utility covers. However, since they do have the options, they are made to order and take approximately 3 weeks to ship.
- Front Cover Options: Thermal utility covers are only available one way. They have a linen weave back and spine with a 6mil clear front. Prestige linen supplies are available with a number of different options for the front cover including: a plain linen weave front, a clear 10mil front, a 10mil frosted front and with a plain linen front with a window.
- Color Options: Although there is a fairly good selection of colors in thermal binding utility covers there are a few colors that are not available in utility covers that are available in the prestige linen covers. For instance if you are looking for grey linen you will need to order prestige linen covers since they are not available in utility covers. Prestige linen supplies are available in Maroon, Blue, Black, White, Ivory, Green and Gray.
Both types of covers are fully compatible with all of the thermal binding machines. However, for many people, the thermal utility covers are perfect to meet their needs. They are less expensive and are ready to ship immediately. However, if you are looking for thermal covers in other colors, thicker sizes or with different front cover options you may need to look at our Prestige Linen thermal covers.
