general

Procoverstock is a specialized online marketplace offering royalty-free, press-ready notebook cover designs and related graphic content for professional printing and stationery production.

The platform connects independent designers (“Contributors”) with businesses (“Customers”) such as notebook manufacturers, stationery brands, publishers, and print service providers.

Customers can license ready-to-use designs via:

  • Pay-per-download purchases, or

  • Membership subscription plans with discounted pricing.

Designers can upload original content and earn commissions from licensed downloads.

“Royalty-free” means you pay once per license and may use the design multiple times within the scope of the license, without recurring royalties or usage-based fees.

Royalty-free does not mean:

  • free of charge, or

  • ownership transfer, or

  • unlimited resale rights.

What is a Cover Design Series?

A Cover Design Series is a thematic collection of related cover designs offered as a single product on Procoverstock.

Each Series:

  • consists of 4, 5, 6 or more visually and stylistically consistent cover designs;

  • is created to support cohesive product lines (e.g. notebooks, planners, exercise books);

  • is assigned its own SKU and Product ID;

  • is licensed as one product under the Royalty-Free License.

While individual Cover Designs may also be part of a broader visual concept, a Series is curated and sold as a complete set. Purchasing a Series allows you to:

  • maintain consistent branding across multiple products;

  • save time on design selection;

  • benefit from series-level pricing, which is lower on a per-cover basis compared to individual purchases.

No. A Cover Design Series is licensed and delivered as a single, indivisible product. Individual designs within a Series are not sold separately.

Membership discounts apply to Series products in the same way as individual products.
In addition, Series include an extra series-level discount, which may further reduce the effective per-cover price.

Membership fees are not included in per-cover price calculations.

Yes. Once licensed, each design included in a Series may be used independently, provided that all uses comply with the terms of the applicable Royalty-Free License.

An SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is an optional internal reference code used by experienced Contributors to organize and track their products on Procoverstock.

On the Procoverstock platform, an SKU may be assigned by a Contributor to:

  • an individual Cover Design; or

  • a Cover Design Series (a product consisting of multiple related designs).

The SKU serves as an additional accounting and organizational attribute and does not replace Procoverstock’s Product ID or SKU generated by the platform.

No.
Using an SKU is optional and primarily intended for Contributors who upload a large number of products or manage multiple product lines.

For bulk uploads, Contributors may include their own SKUs as part of the product metadata to simplify internal tracking, reconciliation, and catalog management.

Before submitting products using Contributor-defined SKUs:

  • the SKU numbering range must be agreed in advance with Procoverstock Support;

  • the SKUs must be unique within the agreed range.

This helps prevent conflicts and ensures accurate processing of uploaded content.

Yes.
If a Contributor assigns SKUs, each product — including a Cover Design Series — should have its own unique SKU.

A detailed Bulk Upload Guide (including instructions for uploading individual products and Series using CSV or similar tools) is provided to Contributors upon request.

Please contact Procoverstock Support if you plan to submit content in bulk and require access to the bulk upload documentation.
