Plastic covers for A4+ exercise book 240mm x 320mm

Counting_Pennies_2

I wonder if you can all help.


I am a complete disaster with sticky back plastic. My son's school have said all books need covering in a protective cover.


I have managed to find some great plastic covers that slip over his books, but there is one frustratingly slightly larger book called a A4+ which measure 240mm x 320mm.


Does anyone know if a cover exists that I can put on the book instead of the dreaded sticky back plastic?


Thanks

Why not just use wrapping paper?

I used to use wrapping paper on mine, and there was a roll of stick back plastic that I used to get from WHSmith, and would put that over the top.

I found this website for librarians which has some good options for covering books, but I couldn't find anything big enough for your book apart from plastic sheets.

I agree with the others - some kind of paper (brown parcel paper maybe?) with the edges reinforced with sellotape or covered in sticky back plastic is probably the most cost-effective option.

Does it need to be plastic? I use wrapping paper for covering books - thin cheap stuff isn't great, but I got some lovely thick patterned rolls from the shops for next to nothing in the after-christmas sales last year.

Other than that, brown parcel paper or even old wallpaper works very well!

Surely the son should be covering the books not the parent ?

My parents used to cover our books with wallpaper

Mine were covered in wallpaper too, only I did it myself

Before my school started providing the plastic covers, I asked pupils to use any paper, except newspaper.

I used to joke that posters of hunks were approved. For anyone who didn't cover their book, I'd produce some horrendously patterned wallpaper.

Wallpaper is strong and easy to use,

I used wrapping too, would change it all the time just to keep it clean and clear, I loved it.

Staples cover books for you if you take them in only costs a couple pounds and they do it while you wait
