Translucent Vellum Insert
What are translucent vellum inserts?
Translucent vellum inserts are thin sheets of smooth paper that you can partially see through.
Available printed or unprinted, they can be used as a formal touch at the front and back of your book, or they can be used within the contents anywhere you want a see-through overlay.

Translucent vellum insert placement
Translucent vellum inserts can be added anywhere you want within your book contents.
If the inserts are printed, they should be part of your book layout. If the inserts are blank, you can let us know where you would like them to appear in the book by including a message in the notes section of the order form.
For example: "Vellum insert is meant to go between pages 44 and 45."
Can I print on translucent vellum?
Yes, your translucent vellum insert pages can be printed or unprinted, it's up to you.
Printing on a translucent overlay can be done in a clever way to interact with the partially visible regular book page beneath the insert.
Translucent vellum inserts can be functional while adding a premium feel to your book.
When should I use translucent vellum inserts?
Adding translucent vellum inserts at the front and back of your book can add a formal touch to your design, or you may wish to insert translucent vellum sheets (printed or unprinted) as overlays somewhere in your book.
They can mark a section or chapter, or interact with the design/image on the underlying page in a complementary way.
Is there a maximum number of translucent vellum inserts?
Our order form allows you to enter a maximum of 10 translucent vellum insert pages.
If your book design includes more than 10 translucent vellum inserts, contact us and we can discuss what is possible.
