Arlington®
If you’re looking for a basic B-grade cloth option, Arlington is our most standard, no-frills choice. Offered in linen and vellum, it features a simple 100% cotton base. It includes a basic protective coating for general abrasion and moisture handling and is suitable for straightforward projects where premium performance isn’t a priority. For customers seeking stronger durability, better print performance, richer finish options, or overall higher-quality results, we recommend considering Apex or Arrestox instead. Both offer significantly improved performance and are better suited for professional-grade book covers, premium packaging, and demanding production environments.
