ABSTRACT:
A document cover of simple construction conceals and shields the fasteners that are customarily employed in binding a stack of pages of uniform size together along a binding margin. The document cover is formed of a plurality of panels including a broad top cover panel located atop the stack and residing in contact with the top sheet of the stack. The document cover also includes at least a narrow top concealment panel attached to either the top cover panel or the back panel by at least one spine fold. The top concealment panel extends from the binding edge of the stack of pages cross the binding margin of the stack. The document cover includes at least a single layer of adhesive secured to the stack so that the top concealment panel conceals the fasteners from view from the top of the stack of pages. Preferably, one or more additional layers of adhesive are provided in the structure to similarly conceal and shield the opposite sides of the fasteners from contact and from view when the document is opened from the back. In some embodiments the document cover of the invention is formed from a single sheet of opaque material, while in other embodiments the document cover is formed of a plurality of sheets, at least one of which is transparent and the other of which is opaque.
