A cover designed to earn its place on the shelf.
Front, back, spine. Custom — not template. Up to three concept routes, 1–3 revision rounds, print-ready PDFs + digital files. Included in every Penray package, never an add-on shock.
Six concrete deliverables. No fine print.
Every cover design package — across all four tiers — includes everything below. Scope (concept routes, revisions, source files) scales with the package you pick.
Custom front cover design
Original concept built around your manuscript. Not template-based. We work from your brief, references, and our designer's eye — never a clip-art shortcut.
Back cover + spine layout
Back cover with synopsis space, author bio block, and barcode placement. Spine sized to your final page count — never the wrong width on a shelf.
Up to 3 concept routes
First proof in 48 hours. Multiple cover directions to pick from — typographic, illustrative, photographic — so you choose the one that fits your book.
1–3 revision rounds
Real revisions, not a one-shot deal. You give feedback. We refine. Up to three full rounds depending on your package tier — no surcharge surprises.
Print-ready files
CMYK PDF at 300 dpi with proper bleed. Built to the exact specifications of our POD partner — no rejection cycles, no last-minute file fixes.
Digital + social pack
RGB JPEG for Kindle and ebook stores. Square thumbnails sized for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp status — ready for your launch announcement.
From brief to print-ready cover — in four moves.
You brief us.
Short form — book details, your vision, references you like. 15 minutes on WhatsApp or a quick form.
We design concepts.
Up to 3 different directions based on your brief. First proof on WhatsApp within 48 hours.
You pick + revise.
Choose your favourite direction. Give feedback. We refine. 1–3 revision rounds depending on package.
We deliver final files.
Print-ready PDF + RGB digital + social pack. Files emailed and stored in your author dashboard for lifetime access.
Six cover styles. Built for different books.
Your cover should reflect your book — not a template. Below are six visual directions our designers work in, each tailored to your manuscript.
Your cover doesn't have to match one of the above. Tell us your book's mood and our designer will translate it — within your package's scope.
Cover design scope, per package.

Need something beyond Signature? The Custom package (₹50,000+) includes unlimited concept routes, illustrator collaboration, and hardcover/special edition design.
Need more than your package includes? Here's the menu.
All add-on prices are listed below — no hidden costs, no "ask for a quote" runaround. Add at any stage of your project.
All prices final. Add-ons can be applied at any stage — even after your cover is delivered. Pay only for what you add. No retainer, no minimum spend.
Five questions before you brief us.
Can I bring my own design, illustration, or photo for the cover?
Email hello@penraypublication.com with your assets and we'll send a revised quote within 24 hours.
What if I don't like any of the concepts you send?
If you still don't like the result after the re-concept, you can either move to a higher package tier (we credit what you paid) or take a stage-based refund as defined in your author agreement.
Will my cover be truly unique, or do you reuse templates?
If you want fully custom illustration (no stock elements at all), that's available as an add-on for ₹2,000+ depending on scope.
Can I see the cover at every revision, or only the final?
Nothing goes to print until you sign off on the final cover, in writing, via your author dashboard.
Who owns the cover design after delivery — me or Penray?
Penray retains the right to display the cover on our website and in our portfolio (we'll always credit you). If you'd like an exclusivity clause that prevents portfolio display, mention this upfront — small additional fee applies.
Other questions? We answer everything personally on WhatsApp.
