Wikitex Kalidos is not a new product in our range. We have had this bookbinding cloth for quite some time, but sometimes a material needs the right project to reveal its full potential.

That is exactly what happened with Kalidos.

At first glance, it is a rather subtle and understated material. But its very fine weave, smooth surface and impregnated finish make it much more versatile than we initially expected.

A fine weave makes a real difference

One of the most important features of Wikitex Kalidos bookbinding cloth is its very fine and even weave.

Compared with many traditional bookbinding fabrics, its surface is noticeably smoother. This gives finished covers an elegant and refined appearance, while still preserving the natural textile character of the material.

Madera Cork is a natural bookbinding cork that has been part of our range for quite some time. It is not a new product, but some materials only reveal their true potential when you see them used on a finished product.

Madera is definitely one of them.

Its natural cork structure gives every cover a slightly different appearance. The surface feels warm and natural and immediately distinguishes the finished product from traditional paper coverings or bookbinding cloths.

Natural material, modern result

Cork is usually associated with natural, minimalistic and understated designs. But it does not have to be limited to this style.

We are continually expanding our range of bookbinding materials. This time, we have added several exciting new collections of BALATEX bookbinding cloths by BN International: Ottawa, RAW, Mondial, Tulsa, Natural, and Coloret.

These new collections offer an even wider choice of colours, textures, and finishes, making it easy to select the right material for both classic, elegant bindings and more contemporary projects. The new products include cloths with a natural character, distinctive textures, and unique surfaces that can give finished projects an exceptional appearance.

BALATEX cloths are suitable for a wide variety of bookbinding applications, including the production of books, albums, notebooks, calendars, packaging, menu covers, and other elegant bindings and products.

The addition of further BN International collections provides even more opportunities to choose the perfect material for the character of each individual project.
