CANSAY

Designer book covers: T-shirts for your books

Add a new twist to your readingc

The new Cansay stationery brand: a collaboration by Obun Printing and prominent art director Koichi Inoue.

Obun's original emotional value printing employs different varnish combinations to create a variety of textures on printable surfaces, enabling the production of book covers that merge design, texture, and functionality. We offer two cover sizes—for small-format paperbacks (bunko-bon) and for slightly larger general-issue books (shinsho-bon).

Features

  • Varnish combinations give various cover textures—our original emotional value printing.
  • Cover is slit so that it fits securely and won't slip off.
  • Fits books of various thicknesses. Bunko-bon covers fit spine widths up to 21 mm (13/16 inch); shinsho-bon covers fit spine widths from 9 mm to 21 mm (3/8 to 13/16 inch).
